'83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me) -

This guy is the other expert on similar install.
If you go series r/r the charging is a non issue but the GSXR/bandit is more power and lighter narrower engine.Comment

if you go oil cooled the starter clutch and rotor is a non issue also.
i like the flywheel effect of the roller bearing engine myself..the thrashing feel you get.Comment
