Yes it's still a Gs....
But a damn fine looking one....
The exhaust seems to be undertail ...look in the center of the "rear fender" area....you can make out a hash cut pipe I think....pretty sure anyway..
I LIKE it.
Nice work Jim... very very cool looking Gs.

After watching Jundie's Streetfighter videos on the Odds and Ends forum, I almost traded my GS500 for a 1200 Bandit to trick out. This GS500 looks awesome in it's Streefighter clothes. The only thing I wouldn't do that seems to be common is the nearly vertical seat. :? What's up with that? Do humans ride these things? Just a little comfort would go a long way.

see it this way...streetfighters are mean ass machines. mean ass machines ride on rear wheels. so your normal seat is not so comfartable then...:P so lets put it at an angle ;). the ass in the sky thing is typical streetfighter thing and in germany they usually make it too high imho. in holland we call it banana ass. i like them high in the air but not the german style...
i have something that in my eyes is also a streetfighter. not everybody might thing the same way but thats the thing with streetfighters, there's no clear definition...

Love the paint job, really like the chrome too. But, well, the seats a little too much bling for me. I agree with the other poster, I don't see how that's comfortable for more than 5 minutes. But it's not my bike, so who the hell cares!! :lol:
Amazing work, really shows some skill and dedication. I probably would have dumped the cash into a more expensive bike. I wonder what sort of engine mods this thing has. If it's just a cosmetic job, then it's like all the rest of the kids in my town with 500 pounds and $10,000 worth of wings, air scoops, crazy paint jobs, fart-can exhaust, bling-bling rims, and super-loud stereos in their Civic all on a stock engine. Nice, definately, shows a lot of passion, but I just don't get it. But to each his own! Whatever makes ya happy in this crazy world :cheers:

Alot of work really went into that. They did an imaculate job with all the mods on it. I do have to say though, that I am not a fan of the tail section shoting to the stars like that. I would love to see down more a bit closer to normal. I sopoze it wouldn't be the bike it is then though. Oh well, nice job.

I really like Jim's GS. Some may not get it or like it. But that's hot.
I am encouraged to see people using the GS as a platform to carry out some outrageous ideas. I think it is a good canvas for this type of expression. And Jim is a master at his craft.
Keep up the good work Jim, and start making some custom parts for us, too!

Servus,
its great to ride with the longer swingarm. Only smal curves are a problem.
The Swingarm is 20 cm longer than original from a bandit1200.

I totally admire the dedication it must have taken to make this.
What have you got up your sleeve for the engine? Bore and stroke? FI? Half of a GSXR750 head?
BTW your exhaust is SOOOOO wild looking. It practically bites your hand when you look at it. (This is a VERY good thing)

That yellow bike is fine from the side, from the front or rear ... that tail is actually faaaar too fat for it, That is an R6 tail. And the undertail area is too fat for the skinny ass 130 rear tire and makes it look even skinnier than it is.

Servus,
so the first plans for the new front on the eightball in labor.
the good thing is that the harley parts can continue to be used and hence the cool light output is maintained. perhaps only on ne 100 watt bulb change.
shocksystem fare is about 750 eu, wheel just as much. plus the cost of materials, tire, chrome and registration.
So keep in limitless.
started when the TÜV is convinced by the plan and its ok there.

Hi JIM my name is LUKAS I live in Poland. I'am watching your bike mods since long time, tons of great work. I wanted to ask you about the mods with the bandit 12 swingarm (if it's not a secret :icon_mrgreen:) I'am modding my GS ( http://forum.gs-500.de/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=33270) and i want to ask you how you solved problem with clutch pusher, if you have had any problem at all, because with your offset sprocket this problem may not exist, I'am gonna have more offset and I need to solve that pusher prob. I've got some ideas but I'am curious what do you think about that?

Servus,
no problem because during secrets B12 remodeling. Just need to change the swingarm and other rifles for use within axis. will still need an offset pinion with 5 mm offset and no longer 5mm clutch pressure rod. Also you need to cover pinion set 3mm to the outside.
Because I make your remodeling later with pictures of a solution.

so here are the pics:
(http://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2008/11/18/bikepics-1485955-full.jpg)
It is a specially prepared offset pinion. On the outer end, a ball with intractable right seat. were also special bolts to support the pinion cover made.

(http://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2008/11/18/bikepics-1485956-full.jpg)
This is about a pinion aiming at the frame is based.
(http://w4.bikepics.com/pics/2008/11/18/bikepics-1485953-full.jpg)
Assembled it looks like this.

I think the tail would look and feel much better if it was mounted in a more shallow angle, but I guess it's a part of the whole European street-fighter theme.
Other than that, I love every bit of it.
Jim, what sort of frame mods were necessary to fit the R1 swingarm?

kinda reminds me of a cat with its arse in the air... lol. I think the angle compared to the tank is just about spot on, I think its the shock or the dogbones that throws it so far in the air. see the angle of the bottom of the frame. Like I said before I still like it but just a little awkward looking to ride looks painfull, not to mention the angle of the shifter. Jim, have you ridin it any yet? Just wondering how it feels.

the tail is coming deeper, when i have the new dogbones! :icon_mrgreen:
there no modifications at the frame. i1m live in germany! :icon_mrgreen:
the mod is in front of the r1 swingarm. thats a lot of work, because the original swingarm is very wide in the front. the next problem was to fit the rear wheel kompatible with the brake and chain.
@chanse: no riding yet, possible in a few weeks.
now the new exhaust from the eightball:

I agree with stuck-to-the-seat. These are very unique show bikes, works of art of the finest imagination and craftsmanship, with untold hours of labor and huge cash invested, but I wouldn't want to ride either one more than a few miles. This is how you get a bike pictured in magazines, not for riding. When a bike goes through this it lives forever and dies at the same time. It will forever be a work of art going from show to show but it will never again have significant miles put on it. All practicality has been lost in the quest for unique beauty, and boy, did he ever succeed!

Yes girder ... more precisely a durfee style girder. Heavy as a pig, wont take a disk brake without some mods, but is rake adjustable by making just a pair of dogbones. Longer = more rake. Simple.
But well ... on my savage with the extra weight and the extra rake and what not it would have handled like a ... well a tank ...
Cool.

What ever happened with that gs with the red tank and orange wheels? I was looking forward to that one.

old man who can't ride sportsbikes....buys a 90ish GSXR1100 :cookoo:
Old gsxrs are some of the sweetest looking bikes ever made, assuming you're going to pull the plastic off and do a tail swap. Considering what Jim does, I assumed that is what was coming. You should pick up a 750 and start on that. It was a better bike anyway!

black frame
4,5" longer swingarm
full fairing

Both are sweet though. I like the new exhaust for the white one.

servus,
The Ide is not bad, I have only about our TÜV clarify whether it is registered. Only what I do then at the fork, if the light is gone?
Since this morning the new wheel with new tire size is mounted. 6,5 x17 with 200/50-17 tires. Great and beautiful wide.
I ran after pictures.
@gregvhen: no problem for me, seamax´s gs is beautyfull.

Servus,
this Airride works beautifully. Thanks again for a successful bid.
the 200er tire goes better than the previous 180er.
Right rides will take place but only in April 2011 when all the new parts are installed and registered.

Hey Jim, what are those rearset? CBR 900? Instead of the extented bandit swingarm with added frame you could had use hayabusa swinger. Wait the hayabusa is shorter than the bandit so it's was good idea :thumb:

Servus,
the orange GS is still broken, as the USD fork was outdated. Similarly, new chrome cover tubes, triple clamps and clamping blocks are in place.
The cusp is slightly revised and re-painted.
The wheels and swingarm are freshly polished and fitted with new tires.
New pictures then come the end of April.

Servus,
from a technical ago the best thing I've ever seen. Beautiful details such as rear frame, and engine exhaust.
I am personally too much work in order to legally drive on Germany's roads.
Currently have only Poblem with my Airride. I need a new solenoid valve for that. Is from the company VIAIR.
Can anyone get this in the States and send it to me?

Servus,
the rear brake caliper is supported on the rocker. It was extra welded a bracket.
The front brake calipers are supported by a homemade holder, but this is not done yet.

It is for sure a GS, and by far one of the most interesting chopper builds in a long time. Very cool to see something inventive rather than the usual custom paint job and bolt on parts with a kit frame.

the upper lever opens to the left and therefore the tank lid is to be opened to the right. Actually, quite simply.

Servus,
so it goes again further(farther) with the rebuilding of the orange.
Original tank is used only as a cover.
New gas tank is made(manufactured).
New cable harness is built.
Some small changes in chrome and gold.
Are surprised!

It does provide more braking.A little unusual but Jim always thinks up new ways to get things done.

Servus,
The brake must be so because it is the braking of the rear wheels. There would be a caliper too little and therefore have built two of them and they, too, now outstanding. The whole thing was also approved by the German TÜV.
The next bike then what is tasted like.

Just curious, and maybe I missed it earlier in the thread. But how did you solve the ratio difference between the master cylinder and having dual pistons to fill when braking? Did you use a master cylinder from another bike that was made for a larger CC piston caliper?

I can't answer for Jim,but an 88-97 GSX600/750 Katana has a 5/8 inch Nissin master cylinder.The GS5 sports a 1/2 inch unit.It should bolt up on a GS.

I would think by doubling the volume of the calipers you would need to double the volume of the master cylinder to keep the correct ratio. Anything less and you may not have adequate pressure for full brake application.
I also wonder if the added friction to one rotor would quickly overwhelm the rotor and cause heat warping.
I love that he was thinking outside the box and trying something different though.

Servus,
it was used a caliper to the caliper of the GS and GSXR. The master cylinder is a 5/8 of the GSXR 1100.
The braking effect is enormous, and there are no thermal problems with the brake disc.
This will on occasion even replaced by a disc from braking.

what else can I do, but to test yourself and try. But that's the attraction of custommizing.
Cross your GS is not too bad, I would obwhl obstruct a longer swingarm.

I like Prancer better than the orange bike that you did. Do get me wrong the orange one is a great looking bike i just like a more clean bike without the over the topness of the orange gs. Both look good and the orange one is a modifying marvel. On Prancer i like the seat and how you made it have the extra space between it and the rear tire. My hat is off to you sir. :woohoo: :bowdown:

Servus,
thanks for the compliment.
The Suicide Shifter was chosen for optical reasons.
Besides, I always wanted sometimes a bike with hand circuit.

that is completely simple. At the aluminum disk a recess was made and thus can fill I over the valve the tire with air. A so-called angle valve was blocked.

The shift rod is homemade and was adapted to the GS. But this is not rocket science and is a relatively quick by equip.

Servus,
The rear brake chopper is when a hydraulic pump operated on the left handlebar. It is a clutch pump the 12 Bandit.
Little addendum to the GSXR pegs. It still has a holding plate on the left and right will be produced because the hole distances are different.

something like this is also done with me, because I need the original tank space for other things. As battery and air filter housing for example, and for the entire electrical system.

Servus,
so simple it is again not make the air filter up. You've got no place with the original tank. You have to at the appropriate point cut and weld in a shell.
This is exactly why I immediately built a new tank and assembled elsewhere.

Servus,
the exhaust in the white motorcycle passes elbow, to a selfbuilt middle pot and an end piece of the company IXIL of an original. Carburettor was put(stopped) on the test bench specially for it.
With the chopper a BSM Future arrangement was obstructed with changed pipe guidance

It's like a She Devil. Pure evil, yet no way you could ever resist.
:cheers:
I love the muscle car throwback with the intake.
Does the cone on the rear axle have a purpose? It's the only thing that looks out of place to me.
I think it's great that your bike has a sphincter. Be careful who you leave it alone with O0

Jim,
The picture I posted was referring to the pucker hole (circled in green)
The cone I was asking about is on the other side of the axle from your button (circled in red)
The button sounds neat, sort of low rider-esk, do you have any close ups of it?

Servus,
The recesses in the green circle are for the turn signals and taillights. The large round hole will be closed with a cover.
The left cover conceals the screw axis.
For pictures I have to see. :icon_mrgreen:

Servus,
thanks for the praise and indeed it is a button with thread. The thick Reien can drive very well if you have practiced a little bit. The curved line is rather different than in the series bikes. But it makes a lot of fun and that's the most important.

these are my two spare fuel canisters with 1 liter. Summarizes the main tank so only 4.3 liters and therefore the idea of the two aluminum tanks. Breather hose is still there.

Servus,
the brake is taken from the original OR rear brake and tested before installation.
Due to the small brake calipers the brake disk can cool fast enough.
The original disk is eventually replaced by a wave plate and thus are better values to be expected.
But nice that you like my stuff, I'm building there. :cheers: :cheers:

How long ago was it put on display?!!! I visited a friend in Germany earlier this year (April?) and he brought me to that museum... there was a lot of stuff to take in, but I am sure that GS would have stuck out in my mind!!

Whats the belly pan off on your patch bike Jim? or is it one of the purpose made GS500 ones like power bronze etc? am wanting a belly pan for my projects GS and if i can find a good used second hand one off another bike that will fit relatively easily.. even better.

Of course I'll call when I have questions. do not think that you can help me, but thanks anyway.
Now we need first the wire wheels and the brakes are fitted, then the height of the motorcycle is determined.
The rest are just little things then.

I believe that is a different cooler on a newer motor.The Euro market got the naked version longer than we did in the US.

Poor Savage..... doesn't know what it's in for.... haha.
Jim, the rear wheel hub on that is the same as a GR650. So those "kits" to convert it to an 18" wheel are a waste of money. Any Suzuki GT rear hoop and spokes will lace right up.
Regardless, ccan't wait to see what you do with it!
