Dude your seem to be implying that you're all these performance mods to your bike, but I can't find a single one that's longer than one sentence.

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to ask you about your project.  :icon_mrgreen:

I am doing a turbo project.It will be a garrett gt 12. Thats why I was either going to buy some stiffer rods or find someone that will do cryogenic work to the rods, pistons,ect.

Turbo. Sure. Uh-huh. :icon_rolleyes:

I think as turbo would be cool but ultimatley not feasible. Heat, stress, and cost all outway any positive gain, including the mad props for making it work. Sorry, but good luck and keep trying. I hope you can do it.

There's a bloke down here in Oz that has turbo'd & FI'd his GS and I believe that he just worked a standard motor. He comes on here occasionally, so he might shed some light what he did.

I'm all for working/modifying the lil ol GS, but if you want some serious HP, get a better motor/bike.

look for "iceman" - he posts on the Aussie Streetfighter forum too. he's done some pretty impressive work.
