Great color scheme, viperg. White on blue has always looked good, and all the polished covers and underthingies only enhance the effect.

How many people think your bike is stock?
Because thats how suzuki should have made them:clap:

I agree. Manufacturers want to give us retro bikes but they are nothing like the original designs. In my opinion 4 of the best Suzuki designs of all time are the 1100E, 1100ES, Kat 1000SZ, and GS1000S. Of course all GS's have great lines. If the factory was going to do a retro they should build one like iceleoman's with modern suspension and wheel components. There are few guys that build these modern classics without over doing them. Good job iceleoman!

this is sick!! I like the whole thing, I am working on a SV swingarm on my GS1100E. I have already installed a complete front from my 1993 Katana 750 with its own mods.

I am so happy to be here now, there are so really awesome mods and crazy sick GS's!

 

[luc8421]

whoa thats mine

I'll get some more pictures up now that its complete
if you can't tell, the rear caliper isn't bolt on, the exhaust isn't mounted on the back, and the sprocket cover is still painted the shiny black that the engine used to be. I've also painted the rear wheel all black

I really like! here is my daily rider while I am working on the GS

Whilst I am not a big fan of open exhausts, I must say that I dig bobbers. Very nice.

Pretty cool looking bike Kenny.

Hate to sound negative but have to say...
a) 80-90% of a bikes stopping power is in the front brake which you don't have,

b) open exhaust pipes are socially irresponsible and a determent to the motorcycling community since it inspires hatred toward all cyclists,

c) open intake pipes and open exhaust will require extensive carb rejetting or the bike won't run for crap,

d) removing the suspension from the bike will make it dangerous and unstable every time you hit a bump in the road.

What you have there is a nice LOOKING piece, please keep it in the garage where it belongs.

I'm not into that style of bike either,but I reckon it looks bloody good.I hope you don't leave it in the shed.Which ever way we hang,none of us build 'em to not use 'em.Well done old mate.Cheers,Simon.:dancing::clap:

 

[kenny p]

Nessism, glad you like the looks of it. As far as the comments...

A- I know, but it's a "cruiser" and I don't ride like I stole it.

B- I know, but....... Boy-O-Boy they do sound great!

C- I know, She has been rejetted and runs better than when I got her.

D- I know, ain't it exciting!!

That's what makes the motorcycle world so fun, everyone has their own opinions and ideas of what a bike should look like or be,
and yet we all still get along fine!
Im glad you at least found it fun to look at, and I'll tell ya, it is really fun to ride too!
Thanks for the honesty, Kenny P.

****You gotta admit, it does look much better than when I started!
