I picked up this GS 1000 race bike through the forum, with the intent of returning it to the street as a race style bike

It was shipped to me in a big box from Ontario,Canada

blimey that looks handsome from that angle.

rgds, (slight dribble)

Does it still have the "OFF - GO" ignition switch?

Nope, that went in the box early on

It's got a standard GS 1000 guages and ignition on it now

Long term plan is to add a "S" fairing and create a dashboard from the aluminum sheet to hold the guages and lights. Maybe I should create a hidden key, or a remote, and put the OFF/GO switch on the dash. Hmmmm

Big T, did that bike in a previous life race in VRRA Endurance series?

I don;t know what series, but I think you posted up the link for it

Is their any chance you can snap a pic of the steering damper...I'm adding one to mine and havent really seen how they mount..I was assuming I'd need to fab something up for the frame mount...I like the switch on the dash!

The memory is not what it used to be and i am now easily confused. I thought that was a while back and perhaps this was a different bike.
A track on the street... jealousy rears its ugly head.

Here you go. This L bracket set up severly limits your ability to turn the wheel to the left. But, that's only a probem in the parking lot and U turns







It's just drilled and tapped and bolted to the lower triple
