Por favor, no te preocupes por los errores gramaticales .
¿Serás capaz de mantener los valores plásticos al instalar el nuevo tenedor ? Siempre he pensado motos deportivas blancas son sexy y hubiera gustado ver que los elimine .

Thank you for taking the time to translate and share!
Please don't worry about grammar mistakes.
Will you be able to keep the stock plastics when you install the new fork? I've always thought white sport bikes are sexy and would hate to see you remove them.

In fact I will need the front hugger of the RGV.... I'm watching one in ebay.

About the colour, I don't know yet.....

I've done the naked conversion before and went right back to faired after a season! Love the fairings!

Did you grind down the bar holders on the top plate when you installed clip ons? Or were you able to buy that customized from somewhere?

Pretty sure that rear shock is worth more than my bike....

Bike looks great though, keep it coming!

Hi, I paid $120 USD in ebay. Here is an example:

BMW shock?? Damn, I haven't heard of that on a GS. You should tell us how installation was. Was it difficult, did it take much modification?
Title: Re: All the History about my upgrades and projects in pictures.
Post by: Slack on May 15, 2015, 06:20:07 PM
It's a Sachs shock. a bit softer then then R6 (8.5 mm/kg vs 9.8 mm/kg) I'd be interested in hearing how much clearance there is and if the hardware is all the same size between the GS and BMW. How much did it raise the rear?

Hi, the installation is the same as the R6R shock. Just a little cut:

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a99/vapporel/Proyecto%20GS500RR/WP_20140910_14_34_13_Pro_zpsxogrcg20.jpg)

The R6R shock (left)is 29cm center to center of the mounting holes, the S1000RR is 31cm (Right).

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a99/vapporel/Proyecto%20GS500RR/WP_20140910_13_57_11_Pro_zpsuhvlw6oe.jpg)

After the cut:

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a99/vapporel/Proyecto%20GS500RR/WP_20140910_14_30_04_Pro_zpsbxgdypza.jpg)

Before the cut:

Tail lifts approximately 30-40mm, same  bolts and nuts can be used....

Great moods you have on your bike, im curious about the hotwires part number, my advise is to match them with the BRISK PREMIUM RACING BR12ZC
