Looks cool! Can't wait to see it all finished up! What are the plans for it? Just a street bound ass-kicker?

I'm drooling over that tail and swingarm :o :o :thumb: :thumb:
Hey your "slow moving vehicle" sign is upside down :laugh:

Maybe it's code for not so slow moving :dunno_white: Done anything to the engine???

if you can read/write german visit my site www.gs-500.de ;-)
the gs is just my funbike for the city
for the speed-feeling i have a Yamaha R1 http://images.verdult.de/meine_r1_ixil
That's one mean, clean, lean streetfighting machine! Love it! :cheers: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
the engine is at the moment not modified ... first i need new money ... at the moment i'm a student :-(
the next mod to the engine is an oil cooler. if that works properly i'll try to get some extra horse power ;-)
I think oil cooling has been discussed and dismissed as impractical :dunno_white: Love the R1............reminds me of that rossi interview ' more ready for accelerate' :laugh: :laugh:
My Mac has a pretty good translator.......I'll check out that site a little later :thumb: :thumb:
That's a pretty sweet-looking bike, except for that extremely orange rear wheel.
ehhh controls might help too :dunno_white: :dunno_white:

Unfortunately I can't read German, except for a few words...I really wish I could :cry:
Congrats anyway on the R1 too, very very very nice bike..maybe one day I'll be skilled enough to ride a bike like that without ending up in a ditch :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
See ya soon!
Lamps,
simon.

*note to self - find a german class and learn german, that site has TONS of info*
rgv250 vj22b front fork
vfr800 front wheel
yzf-r1 2003 tail
you can ask questions in english in my forum, too ;-)

But... Do they answer them in German? :laugh:
"*note to self - find a german class and learn german, that site has TONS of info*"
you can go to google and enter his site (www.gs-500.de) as the search criteria and google will give you the option to translate the page. It isn't the best, but its better than complete german!
Rylon
yeah
it's alive!

We should do a "Bike of the Month" like they do on SVrider and DucatiMonster.org! That would be VERY cool...
Thats A Well Good Idea, But I Have To Finish Building Mine!!
I Have A Idea Of A Few Names That Will Be Up lol
Hi

Looks beautiful :thumb:
Wow. That is bad ass, I am considering a tail-swap for my gs (Keep people from asking for a ride amongst other considerations), and I love your exhaust. I am a moderate rider, so having the weight of the pipe(s) up a bit higher wouldn't really cause me any difficulties. What cans did you use, and did you fab your own pipes?
Me likey! :thumb:
That is one sharp looking GS :thumb:
Black-painted wheels are one more step towards perfection. :icon_mrgreen:
Go on this way! :thumb: :cheers:
the exhaust is a SHARK TRACK
the pipes are made by a friend of mine
i hope next week i'll finish the brakes and ther chain+sprocket
and then the hardest part starts -> the german TÜV
All I can say is......WOW :icon_mrgreen:
That bike looks amazing. It's pictures like these that make me want to keep my gs500e and modify the crap out of it. I dont think it's much of a looker stock, but with some mods, the gs is one ofthe sickest streetfighters I have seen and some members of this site have amazing bikes. Are you able to carry a passenger? I just got a new bike (03 636) and I miss riding the gs because of the mpg. I definitely like the extra power of an inlineIIII though. Im starting to fall in love with the sv50 also that is a beautiful bike. I am so glad I started on a gs500e. If my 500 looked anything like yours it would attract as much attention as a race replica bike. And I love the color orange. If I could have found one, I would have bought an orange 636.
Wow, that looks great! Put up more pics when fully complete.
i wanted to take a passenger , hence , i kept the rear , just using a r1 led tailight , and a undertray to smarten it up , its a stunner from the front :thumb:
What gaugge is that from and how did you get it to work with the mechanical speedometer and tachometer cable?
Stunning modification!
It's a Koso RX1N for more infos ask google ic have only german pages with infos about it
I'll post more pictures when everything is finished

Marcel
