hi guys what do you reckon about my next mod, im faily confident with doing anything, any ideas appreciated :thumb:
Do yourself 1/5 throttle.
whats that??
servus,
take a full fairing from gsxr on your gs and a usd fork. :cheers:

Instead of having to turn the throttle like half-way around the bars to get to full open throttle, you only have to turn 1/5 to get to full throttle... You get quicker response that way

Well actualy from 1/4 turn, to 1/5 turn. People say it is realy noticable. I think it was discussed before or maybe even in the FAQ section.
I don't think our GS's are equiped with a 1/4 throttle... There are kits for us to convert to 1/4 (ok... maybe not realy kits, but DIY mods that you need parts from 10 different bikes.) :laugh:
hmm i spose i could do that but i dont see the point. well i can see the point but im happy with how much i have to twist the throttle,

servus,

mmm i like the usd forks twin discs, if i can find a set cheep ill do that, i don't like fairings i don't want to pretend my bike is a gsxr, it already has the seat unit.
cheers jim
any more ideas folks???
what did you do already to the bike ?
its on the bottom of my messages
i have put on a gsxr subframe and seat unit, pod filters and a rejet, a bandit 600 4.5inch back wheel, heavy duty front springs, a sv650 rear shock, steel braided brake lines, umm i think thats it oh yeah a modimied r6 link pipe with a quill race can(sounds fu£$en cool) yep thats it all
sportier bars maybe?

What all goes into that 1/5 throttle? Isn't that basically a stock 01+ throttle?

It's a 1/5 turn throttle for the SV650 slapped onto the GS.
Hey Hmmmmmmmmnz...do you have pics of your bike online? i'd like to see it if there's some floating around somewhere...
how about an undertail
Rear wheel hugger?
Reflectorecotomy? (Puts the reflector flush against the plastic)
Custom ground Cam? (Possible, but expensive...)
If you're feeling very (multiply that very by about 12) ambitious, shaft drive (hahah yeah right!)
Makenize's new high-mount that I'm drooling over? (I know you've already got an exhaust, but that dual high-mount is so awesome.)
Turn signals?
GPS?
Bigger brakes? (those twin discs sound slightly BEYOND AWESOME)
Gear indicator? (I have to say that would be kinda cool)
If you are feeling really nuts you could try to devise some weird ram air intake system. (Actually that wouldn't be as bad as trying to go shaft drive, LOLOLOL)
Bike neon? (I can't say I would.)
Another one that would be wild, but very very very awesome would be to mill the block to get higher compression. Even a half point could mean really huge power gains. (This would be complicated, I've done it on cars before, but never an air cooled engine.) We're talking 15% or maybe even 25% more power than you make now.

i think the front end will be my next mod, i dont know what sort of hugger i can get, i had one on it but its to skinny for the new fat back wheel :icon_mrgreen:
servus,
smaller turnsignals :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
polisch the aluminium parts
tankmodding
dragbar with raiser
footpegs
mirrors
and many more things! :thumb:
Your bike has a huge ass; there I said it... :icon_mrgreen:
Is that rear section bolted on?
h6
yep the rear section is bolted on. i know its huge, i didn't realise how big it was gunna be untill i got it on, i can change it for the later gsxr which is smaller, might do at a later date, but i dont think it looks too bad with the fat wheel, better than it did with the gs wheel any way :icon_mrgreen:
hey were did you get that tail

hey were did you get that tail
ugh, dude. READ. Look in his signature. It's a GSX-R SRAD tail.
DUDE im to drunk to read right know
Furrrrr get some furrrrr
I for one love your GS, I think thought that you should put..........................................................
Of course..........................
A turbo.
Ok really, maybe you can get maks SSSA
Mill the block!!!!!!
Sorry I want to do that myself, but I am poor.
Will it pass an MOT with the frame like that?
why wouldn't it pass an mot its solid, and its not going to go any where, will a standard srad get a mot??? i used all the same fixing points as the srad,
i don't see it as an issue,
I wouldnt bet a lot of money of your bike passing a MOT. I have got a copy of the Testers manual and in section 6.3 which relates to condition of structure, it lists reasons for rejection, one of which is...."Any deliberate modification or alteration to the frame which significantly reduces the original strength" It could well be argued that that is exactly what you have done. I think what matters is not the fact the S-rad section was designed to bolt on, rather the fact it was not designed to bolt on to a GS500 and the fact you have cut out a section of the GS frame apparently without adding any additional bracing or stiffening to compensate. Or that there is a risk that the frame may fail in the area of the bolted joint due to lack of strength. I cant tell from the photos if you have done it but at the very least you need to strengthen the box-sections of the GS frame internally where the subframe bolts on and the bolts pass through so the sides of the box-section dont pull in and distort when the bolts are tightened. Any visable distortion in the frame is also a failure. I suggest also that you weld plates over the open ends which will increase rigidity and keep water out as a rusty frame will also lead to failure. Test guidelines are open to interpretation and one tester may view something differently than another but If the mod is done properly and looks right you stand a chance of passing the test and you can argue the case if it fails, but if it looks like a lash-up you have got no chance. Please dont take my comments negatively its not my intention to poke holes in your work, we are all Motorcyclists but when doing things like this you have to consider your own safety and that of other road users, also realise that despite you thinking it may be safe the Police or Ministry of Transport might not.
hmmm well, its the sub frame and not the frame that i have modified, but i can see the issue, i have got square steel spacers inside the tube with a hole in it to stop the bolts compressing the subframe, it might be worth welding end caps on though, i dont really think there will be any issues when i get its test done in a few months but will let you know. :thumb:
