So I went out yesterday and upgraded my '99 GS500e. Lets see. I added a 2004 SV1000s frame, engine, wheels, lights, lowers, etc. It's like a completely different bike! On to the pics...

The upgrades were worth a more than 100 percent increase in power and torque, and they only cost $4780. I recommend them to anyone!
:woohoo:
Awesome bike wish i could go out and buy those upgrades for my gs500f.
Beautiful beast you've got there! :thumb:
I've been eyeballing an '06 sv1000, might go check it out this weekend. How do you like yours?
Lol sweet bike :laugh:
I love the color!
looking at that bike makes me miss my old 650.
Enjoy the torque-monster. :thumb:
The buddha may have some secret bits ... like pipe, high bars, brake lines, shock etc etc ...
Other BS like naked-isation and stuff can also be cooked up by buddha.
Cool.

ya man, those two big pipes = the love
Wonder how itd look naked? Jw prob not near as good as a gs naked i guess. I really like the faired look on this bike. :cheers:
The only 'complaint' I have is not having the ease of 'flickability' that my GS had. This handling thing will take some getting used to. Time to hit the parking lots and practice again. :thumb:
It needs real neck bearings, then you can toss the damper in the trash and ride it without it. The adjustment in the tapered bearings is more than plenty to make it both flickable and stable. Like a GS.
Cool.
