Maybe I'll just stick with the Wileyco side mount exhaust.  But wheels will get powder coat and the solo tail is going on, for sure.[/quote]

I powdercoated the wheel with a near chrome silver and a lollypop blue top coat.  It looks really great in direct light.

The tail section is great.  I am waiting to have a buddy of mine who does seats to make a pad for it.

Ok, now I feel wimpy for my mere:

Rejet
Rebuilt carbs
Valve job
Brake flush
f-16 Windshield
new tank (as soon as I get it from Srinath)

Jiggersplat, how did you upgrade to the newer body pieces? do they bolt on fine?
D-Day, can your son add a lower brace my to my swingarm?
Don't mind me I'm just new.

ohyeah, how was the fork install? was it just the forks or the whole front end?

To brace the swing arm, you would need to weld something on, or replace it with one that already is.  IMHO the stock swing arm suffers more from weight than ridgidity.  

The complete front end was replaced.  The only part from the GS is the steering stem.

I figure I can fashion a seat pan and then have my grandma (who is a seamstress) cover it for me.

Not much to show or talk about. A lot of time has been spent on the mold making with little to show for it.

Here is the master for the 01+ race tail. Trying to find the time to prep it to pull a mold.


The master of the lower for the full fairing is finished. Working on the finish coat of paint so it will have a smooth surface to pull a mold from. I may add a teaser pic later to this post.


For those that have not seen it, here is the latest addition to my bike. It is a RGV swingarm. I have a Bandit 600 wheel that I will use just need new 150 rubber after I wearout the couple of 140 rears that I have.


oh yeah........I did add an Ohlins steering damper  :)

Will the '01+ solo tail fit on an '89 or do you make one for older GS's?

The 01+ does not fit the 89-00 tank.
There is a different one for the 89-00 which is the same as what is on D-Day's bike in a earlier post in this thread.
