tryin to post pics but cant figure out.
Posting pictures and links has been covered a few times. The easy part is, host your images somewhere like imageshack, picasa, photobucket, etc, and then just LINK to it with the little buttons above the emoticons (IF YOU HIT REPLY NOW, YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN), one of them looks like a globe, next to it is a 'picture' framed. Use that.
It will look like <<<(http://blah.com/someimage-that-isnt-porn.jpg)>>> minus the <<<>>> of course. :)

In process of cutting rear tail section making new brackets for 95 ninja tail clip. Need a seat for a ninja or any suggestions? Also any suggestions on a easiest front end with better shocks and duel rotors. Thanks. open to any suggestions

Nice and Clean
Cool idea. Might just be the angle, but it looks like you mounted the turn signal into the socket for the seat locking mechanism ... So, do you turn the rear blinker to unlock the seat? :)
Cheers,
J
No I just mounted it to the rear tailpiece. Shortend them by 2 1/2 inches. Need to turn them down alittle. Also have a coil and wire for sail. Bought it and it was not the problem. It was wiring thet was messed up. Cost 90.00 sell for 40.00
R1 tail light on a budget :icon_mrgreen:
Sweet :thumb:
Yes I saw a pic of 1 and made my own for FREE.

Just click on the vid to watch. Tell me what you think.
lil' wheelie :icon_twisted:
nice
U never get it right when the camera is on.
cool man :thumb:
Got some lite n bolts, they are awesome.
Nice :) Did you do a sprocket conversion, or were you just able to wheelie that thing by popping the clutch?
Hello Sir Squidly ! Doing that kind of crap on public roads and influencing kids to be deviants is call for ... ah hell, I like your vid. O0
Is that Sir Squidly the 2nd on the dirty bike ? Cool, looks like he's having a blast.
I love the kid saying 'did it leave a mark ?'
Ride safe man, the kids want you around :D
Thats one of the future riders there. He always takes off like that.
I think some smaller led blinkers would look cool on the back. I just installed some on the front and plan on hacking the back. It was about an hours worth of work. and a couple of dollar pvc spacers. I'll have to take a pic and show you what it looks like. Mine cost around 30 bucks.

Mine was FREE..... Thats the only reason I did it like that. I almost have all the brackets welded for the tail clip. I had to do alot of choping and mods but I used everything I choped off for the other peices. Yes it took a little more time and grinding that way but like I said before it was all FREE... Soon as I fix my wet camera...
When i finished welding I moved my batt. box down and I now have to put 2 single air filters on so the question is.......
How do you know what size jetts to use.
Will the washer trick work without jetts?
Whats the cheapest way to do this?
Any input would be great and I ll have pics saturday night.....Thanks to all.
I will race you on pinks !
I'll race ya both for pinks........... :icon_twisted:
I remember tryin to pull wheelies on my old GS500.. cool vid :)
I go to OBX speedway in Creswell,NC. So if you see my gs out there Ill race you. Not for pinks butt........

Just started on the fiberglass today so I will post more pics... Let me Know what you think??????????????
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/scoleso/102_0232.jpg)
This is not bolted on but it sits a little higher then this. Fiberglassed around seat to fight nice and tight.
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/scoleso/102_0235.jpg)
Taillight fits nice and tight need to shave a little off but its good for now. Saved the piece just incase.... :thumb:
This is a clip from OBX Speedway

Looks good, what you guys think?
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/scoleso/100_0243.jpg)
Time to test ride........

Next is the mirrors!!!!!
Need to do somthing with the tank now, and the front end.Any ideas. I have a 97 ninja triple tree set but the forks are locked up and i dont have a wheel or the calipers... got the discs thou..haha any ideas folks?????
Do you like? Yes or No
That's one big ass! Are you any good with fiberglass? I'd try to shave it down... but very nice work otherwise!
The front of the peice just does go over the frame. I had to chop it to get the look I wanted.Once I get the front done it will be bigger and maybe even it out. Its all in trial and error right.....hahahaha
that's right... if it doesn't suit the first time, you can always redo it but if it works the first time even better! What are you doing to the front? Depending on what you've got planned, it may even it out. I think an "f" fairing would take away from some of the girth of the rear.
servus,
nice work, but the rear is too fat for the smal GS.
take a longer swingarm in the bike. this will looks better.
97 ninja 600 forks and trees. like a double light up front but its going to stay naked exept a little buel looking sheid type deal ...under thought still....hahaha
thanks for the input reall dig it :laugh:
RACING at OBX Raceway in North Carolina on the 15th ALL BIKES.......Come out and lets show what a GS can do.Its an 8th of a mile so im going with a bigger sprocket and well see what she does.Last year with no mods it ran 9.12 at 76.78 mph.So now I want an 8 sumthin dangit.....
Picked up a 98 gs500e No tank with ninja front end and A set of honda 5 spoke rims with new tires for 250 from a bike shop thats closing.....What a deal.......All the hard work done. O I forgot it has the katana swingarm, shock, and new tire and rim installed already...Awesome....will post pics soon
sweet. lookin good man.
and to that guy that asked about wheelies....you can clutch up a stock gs and 12o clock it if you want.
I sent my other motor to performance unlimited to have them get as much power as possible out of it so Ill post the dynos in a couple of weeks or whenever I get them. I hope to get in the low 8s on an 8th of a mile track. I got a 50 sprocket on the back to try on the 15th so well see........
strap one of these to it, might do 7 or so

isn't it part of fun to do the mods by yourself :dunno_white:
anyways your bike your money ;)
could you also, along with dyno results, attach "wallet results" I'm sure people around here would appreciate you to write how much things cost you.
Thanks and good luck
I'm waiting for the results!!
You should also talk to KASUMI, he managed to "fit" POWER COMMANDER to GS500 ;) ;) ;)
cheers

I have listed prices along the way. Check some of the other pages on here. But to make it easy I traded a dirtbike 97 KDX 250 for my 98 GS with 2500 miles on it that was layed down, just some minnor scrapes and bent bars. dRAG BARS 34.00 New tire 110.00 I put 1100 miles on it had the head and rings done 600.00 Got ninja tail peice 50.00 Installed myself with the bars I choped off.......Free...... Bike shop was closing down and they had a 99 GS with ninja front end already modded to fit. Brand new 150/70/17 and katana rim already install on the bike. Complete bike minus the tank for 250.00 no title. Motor looks clean but no gauges so I dont Know the milage..Was at track this week and my bike was slower then it was stock. Made carb ajustments and modded the air box. !50 jetts and modded stock pipe.........

What kind of headlights are those, I like the looks of them. Were they hard to wire up?
fog lights for head lights
i think
and bat man red pinstriping?
i finally got my flanges made and gsxr stock can ( the new ones moounted. right now its basically in place of teh factory gs can. OP and recommendations on that. hell ive got two flanges and two gsxr cans, so i was thinking undertail or something. BTW im really liking what youve got so far
I was not thinking Batman when I did it but I hear that alot. Im saling this and anouther motor that runs great 12000 miles on it. Was rebuilt at 6000 at cycle world in Va Beach.
Have two other frames and and a 01 ninja front end, minus calipers, and rim. Set of carbs minus vacuum bag things on the top. 37.5 pilot 140 main. Stock headlight, stock tailpeice and seat. Katana rear rim 150/70/17 and shock. Only have One Clean Title.......Make an offer for all or Ill sell parts to. I live in Norfolk Va. So you will have to pick up or I ll go up to 100 miles... Name is Toby num# 757-282-1732 any question call.....
Hey man, I'm relatively new here. Just read the whole thread. Very cool! Love how you basically went at the GS with a machete and re invented it.
gotta get a vance or other pipe, and you'll be all set. A nice pipe goes a long way for being happy with it I found out.
I dont think a slipon will give me the POWER that im missing...Road my freinds 95 ZX6 R and it was a great feeling bike...I want a real sportbike.....Dont get it wrong, the GS is a very reliable bike and I road it for 2 years..Ohio and back twice..Good starter bike.
