Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know and ive only run it twice since i put the pipe on. I will be getting the jet kit
Edit: Only cylinders 3 & 4 are running lean by looking at the bluing.... I suppose this is due to dirty carbs... looks like a dip is in order

Clutch cable and tires?
Clutch cable and tires?
Your clutch cable sounds tight, you need to play around a little bit more with the cable routing, so it don't wear out quick. It's got to be as straight as possible with no sharp bends and pass between the airbox and #1 and 2 carb intakes. I got the Daytona bars and their about the same size as yours but pulled back just an inch or two more.
As for tires, I recommend Bridgestone BT-45V as the best rubber made at any price, that fit the old GS rim sizes.
Great rides ahead!

Shortening the rear frame/seat would have same effect as stretching the swing arm.
Above is Kochic's moded GS1000

Visually yes it would be the same but as far as the actual geometry and handling the bike would remain unchanged
