Go back a page or two, there is one showing the RHS of the bike, it is a sidewinder drag pipe, V&H I believe.
Not really new GSXR forks, because they don't have the radial mount calipers.

The pics were taken from my I phone, I really should get better pics.
When the project is done I will take better ones.
The burgundy drag bike will get the 1260 motor I have lying around.
It will be a track bike till I make a street wire harness and put a d.o.t. rear tire on it. Both bikes are going to be re-painted, bead blasted and polished.
Who makes quality exhaust systems for these bikes any more??
The V&H street pipes are not very good.
I miss the old stainless supertrap pipes.
1260---->>>>>

Look kinda familiar??I AM IN LOVE WITH THE BIKE, VERY SLIGHT COMPLAINT. I DO NOT LIKE A MODERN MUFFLER ON A OLD SCHOOL BIKE. IT IS MY PROBLEM NOT YOURS.

Thank's for the compliment on the bike! Here's two more to try and win you over on the pipe. Bought both the bike and the pipe in 1984 if that helps.
The GS11 has great lines from this rear angle looking forward.

I'm your Dads age. It's really not that old. LOL you will understand later.

racing and kayking ??
racing and kayking ??
I live in up state NY just out side of Binghamton a small town called Endicott ( it is where IBM started ) we have a 1/8 mile drag track called sky view drags I raced there last summer for my first time on my dads 1980 gs1100e I did 7.5 at 94mph on this bike. I want to race at Pocono Raceway when they have open track days I think it will be sweet to race on my 1979 Wes Cooley bike.
as far a the kayaks go it is the next best thing to motorcycling I have ever done in my life, its like getting close to god and the chicks dig it too!!!!!!
