I have used different GSXR shocks on various GS's. I use a side grinder to cu a relief in the swingarm and use a GSXR lower linkage to gain more room. The GSXR is a little shorter. I do not recall the specific years, early 2000 era. I know them when I see them.

I also make a new upper mount to eliminate the tail from being raised.

after long perioud without time to update , here is the progress.

thanks to "the buddha" for the jets and the info . the tuning was perfect at 1st attempt and the bike feels great.

according my measures top speed is +- 185 km"h ( on the clock) , & there is more power at low-mid range .



to be continued...

Yep, that's the standard mod for GSXR shock. Shaved linkage.

Now israel is one of those places you ahve to visit atleast 1 time in your life. Especially if you're not christian or jewish derived religions. Supposedly the non believers also feel the holy spirit in some of the holy areas. Like there is this wall and if you touch it somehow you're all emotional and start to sing or cry or something.

Now I also have a sorta twisted reason to want to visit. To see why they've been fighting for centuries over it.

I also heard, you can see snow covered mountains and warm sandy beaches in few 100 miles of each other. Sorta like ... California but like much more crowded.
Anyway, can you mod for like suspension and brakes and what not or even that no ?

Cool.

nice. good progress!
you look like you're having fun doing that 

indeed.

still have a lot  of work on it ...

She's a beauty, alright.

For the LED indicator lights did you have to do any modding. And where would I find the right bulbs?

Lookin good!

Mary

mary, no mods are required.  those are 5-way LEDs from somewhere like superbrightleds.com.  they're about $2-$3 each and are direct replacements to the OEM bulbs.  do a search for led gauge lights and they should be a link to the exact ones you need.

If you have had given me a bit more time I'd have done the shock springs in some cool color in powdercoat.
Cool.
Buddha.
