    Hey!

    No need to argue about BOTM in June.

    Norm, that story sounds like you are were not welcome to submit your bike.

    I have no knowledge about how bike submissions are graded on here...and based on Norm's experience...meh.

    Nice bike for the month of June...and your bike is nice too Norm with the extra accoutrements on the seat. Lol

    my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

      Norm, all of the bikes of yours I have seen are impeccable and well deserving of the title.

        And since we’re on the topic...
        OSS doesn’t do submissions, they choose from forum members based on their own criteria. For some reason they deemed my ES as worthy.

            Was the shock a direct bolt in, and how does it perform?
            I put a used Ducati Monster shock in mine (cheap). It works well (in comparison with the original at least) , but install required some trial and error.

              The prettiest GS ever painted, (my opinion, & I'm almost always right) I sold mine to a member here appx. 5 yrs ago. For me, not very comfortable, just didn't fit me, but gosh it was beautiful.

                Looks great, Geno.
                Always liked the tone of the Supertrapp exhaust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBbP8YPX8V0

                  Shock is a direct fit, made specific to the Bike, rider style, and weight!

                          Nice sound in the video. Not too loud, so you shouldn't be worried about annoying the neighbours on early morning/late night jaunts
