Getting the mod bug.......

I've swapped the indicators and added a carbon fibre tax disc but I wanna play some more with the GS.

I'm not likely to sell it for any massive ammount as it is so I don't mind any depreciation on value - I just want a trick bike. I know I can add a GSXR front end and rear shock but without any welding or major hassle - what else can anyone think of for me to do?

screen trim Razz

Other stuff which you can do... nearly every bolt on the bike can be replaced with one from ww.tastynuts.com probably. Single seat unit I guess could be easily done.

I'll think some more later Smile

Get a big sticker saying "I'm rich, I am" Very Happy

I'm not rich but I do want to spend a bit of money on the bike. I can't have screen trim on a bike with no screen though!!!! Smile

Never mind!!

The tastynuts and bar ends/pegs are good ideas.

Take that headlight off and replace it with a streetfighter one? Shouldn't cost much!

I'm thinking of buying a cheap GS and streetfightering it Smile

My plans are GSX600F rear shock to jack the back up a bit (and add more adjustment), early-ish GSXR750 front-end (USD forks and twin discs Smile

) Orange powder-coated frame swingarm and forks, and a blue paintjob based around a lightning theme Smile

I'd need a twin-spot setup for the front or a streetfighter fairing, not sure yet though

Or why not add a TURBO Smile

110bhp from a 500 twin!

Someone's slowly been customising a GS500 at college, they've fitted twin lights, what looks like an SRAD rear seat unit and seat hump (doesn't quite cover the subframe), a twin port Remus can and various other tarty accessories like bolts and footpegs. I'll take the camera in tomorrow see if I can get a picture for you.

And is adding a Turbo really gonna give you 110bhp from a GS500? sounds a bit optimistic to me Confused

From the website I got the pic from:

"GS500E Turbobike. 30 psi boost = 110+hp. custom intake, intercooler, plenum, pressurized oil and fuels systems. carbureted"

Hmm, trick bits...do you want to go the "custom" way? i.e. lots of shiny/chromey bits? You can polish the wheels/rims, frame etc...although I personally reckon that a polished frame is worth much less.

Braided hoses? Anodised levers? Fake NOS can (yes! The Rude BoY Demon Tweeks catalogue sells them!...for...£90! Shocked

)

I don't want to streetfighter it as such as I'm not keen on the streetfighter look at the front. I justy want to make is unique!!

I'm going to see if I can get a different back end on it and maybe a underseat pipe? Or a twin pipe- i've seen that somewhere else.

Maybe twin headlights but probably just the same light on an early gixer 740 front end.

Around the 50 mark Sad

One day if you ever pass your test I'll let you have a thrash on the old girl. It will seem like a Busa when compared to your NSR Smile

I've gotta do alot next month, it'll be very expensive. I have a holiday, (hopefully this one won't fall through).

Then the bike needs Mot, Tax, Insurence renewel and i need to pass my damn lisence before my CBT expires. Which i havent checked, knowing me, it probably ends this month. lol.
