no offense intended here but can you really stunt that much on a GS? You can probably wheely the thing but will it stoppie(sp?!)? I know I've had my front wheel skirt once when I went hard on the brakes so I am really a skeptic. Its a cool idea but is it going to be worth all the money/effort/time?

I remember some pic of someone stunting their GS. It included a stoppie so i guess it is possible. Not trying it on my GS though, especially the wheely. My clutch is bad enough.

I say go for it :thumb:

Yes you CAN stoppie a GS. I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes, but I know people who have. There's more to it than just jamming on the front brakes... proper brake application along with grabbing the bike with your knees and leaning properly do the trick, so I've been told.

Personally, I don't have the nuggets to try any of that stuff :nana:

LOL.. weve been through this topic before...

Im going for more of a poseur stunt look :oops:

No, im not gonna be a crazy gas tank smashing, tail-light shattering stunta. But, i do want lower gears to do some wheelies and to mainly make it look like a streetfight-stunt bike.. but that isnt the topic at all here..

I found that old post about the R6 tail...funny how the word R6 was in the title... yet the search disagreed. Anyone try that?

That link to the uk forum is not working anymore :dunno:

if anyone can help me that would be awesome! :thumb:
