Look at this (seen on one of the facebook gs groups)

Why do people who build a bike that looks/is/may be fast, use crappy 40 y/o brake and tire designs? I understand period correct but...

I mean, why not. But if they were good enough that you could drag the cases on the ground they wernt that crappy.

The fairing isnt period correct either. Its from a first year gsxr 1100 or 750. 80s yes but i dont think it would have ended up on a old gs back in the day. Remember in 85 the gs was old enough to be not relevant anymore but new enough to not be nostalgic yet.
None of that sentence was ment to be a dis on the gs as its my favorite bike.

Interesting, I'm not sure I'm that keen but it looks like it's been done well so hats off to the owner for their vision and execution.

no steering lock and bugger all ground clearance it looks like. Tank looks nice tho

Thinking much the same thing in regards to my riding safety if I owned it.
Are those shocks any good? Ye olde tire compound and no clearance for corners…

I think this would have worked very well on my old 1000, since the rear was raised an inch or so. Would have had more ground clearance that this. But still not as much as a naked one i dont think
