did all the parts swap right over, or did you have to use some "magic dust" on it?

The forks, exhaust, and swingarm look good, but I'd put the GS bodywork back on, it looked much better  :thumb:

I do have to say though, I have no idea how those exhausts don't start to grind on the road before the footpeg hits, although I've never taken a yard stick and some string to a bike just to see how much clearance there is. I'm always curious why they don't make more exhausts that tuck under the engine, but I guess if they're gonna make something in carbon fiber, they need to make it so people can see it?

How'd you fit the GS oil cooler in there?  And, the GS handlebar switches?  But, why didn't you swap over the schnazzy barends?

What a crappy set of mods. I think you need to go back to the drawing board.  Did you at least rejet the slipon?

go here.... http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=52805.20  and write up a comparison between the two for everyone. People can't seems to keep that thread on topic and it would be cool to get some more bikes in there.
