You can tune whatever you want, but you can't legally register/drive/ride it on the street ,but there aren't any racetracks either so ....   :mad:

And the legislation of motorsports that was begun got stuck in bureaucracy soup....meanwhile "inspired" riders take it to the street

and get killed.

For example if I build a supermoto bike DMV won't register it because of the altered tires ,so people here have two sets,

one is just for passing annual DMV test.

You'll have to go through hell to legalize supermoto or any moded bikes/cars if ever.

No body will ensure it and if you race it on a closed track it's illegal.

Israeli riders go to Greece and race there,it's easier  :o

It's not that it's regulated,  it's just that there are not many experts and true professionals for tunning and such , so for regulating

bodies it's easier to ban anything not OEM ,why the headache ,right? 

I can't fit a 150 rear tire that is specified by manufacturer for our 3.5 inch rim ,because in vehicles registration it says 130  :bs:

People are resourceful and find loopholes though ,only fear is that you get stopped by someone who has a clue , but most don't  :icon_lol:

One rider was stopped for not having one of the two lights lit up on his bike, the rider had to explain that it only did for high lights,

cop gave him a ticket   :cookoo:

I have used different GSXR shocks on various GS's. I use a side grinder to cu a relief in the swingarm and use a GSXR lower linkage to gain more room. The GSXR is a little shorter. I do not recall the specific years, early 2000 era. I know them when I see them.

I also make a new upper mount to eliminate the tail from being raised.

Yep, that's the standard mod for GSXR shock. Shaved linkage.

Now israel is one of those places you ahve to visit atleast 1 time in your life. Especially if you're not christian or jewish derived religions. Supposedly the non believers also feel the holy spirit in some of the holy areas. Like there is this wall and if you touch it somehow you're all emotional and start to sing or cry or something.

Now I also have a sorta twisted reason to want to visit. To see why they've been fighting for centuries over it.

I also heard, you can see snow covered mountains and warm sandy beaches in few 100 miles of each other. Sorta like ... California but like much more crowded.
Anyway, can you mod for like suspension and brakes and what not or even that no ?

Cool.

mary, no mods are required.  those are 5-way LEDs from somewhere like superbrightleds.com.  they're about $2-$3 each and are direct replacements to the OEM bulbs.  do a search for led gauge lights and they should be a link to the exact ones you need.

Great job my friend! I love your work.

Where in Israel are you from? I live in Herzeliya.

I'm in the process of finishing up my GS500 race bike.
All it needs is to fit the fairings and fabricate a new subframe for the superbike seat.
Maybe you could give me a hand with that sometime?

Heading out to Greece soon to get a taste of a real race track! WOOHOO!
