    Rear shok changeability,for a 1982 gs 550ed,

    I replaced my rear shock with the performance onefrom my 1989 kawasaki ninja ZX7 H1 and it fit with no mods,all I have to do is get a longer hose for the reservoir,I just thought I would share that in case any of you were wondering what mods you can do and what parst were interchangeable,

              where did you get the headlights? I want to do that mod to mine with the upper EF fairing.......

              definately need to upgrade that front end and do the rear wheel swap too!

                      are they mounted within the OEM fork mounted headlight braces for the square headlight?

                          took it out for a ride in the twisties today,damn it handles like a mofo,it's frickin sweet,now I just have to make a few adjustments with the sag and it should be ready to go,all I have to do now is put some dunlop 501s on it will stick a whole lot better,
