Ready for powder coating I would guess

Yeah. You know the factory coating is a joke.

 

[ackack]

Martin is correct, getting ready for powder coating. Might do the heel guards as well while it's in bits seeing as the paint on that is crap.

 

[Stromer]

Why??

He don't need no stinking bearings!!

I put SUZUKI logo decals on my tank. I think it looks fine. The color is a dead perfect match with the decals already on the bike....

Ebay, $5.

Can you take a few wider shots, from the front, back and side please? I want to see the screen in relation to the whole bike as the close-ups make it look too large and upright for my personal liking. I'm trying to see as many screens as I can before I order one myself. Cheers.

Here's a few for you, Rod. I didn't get one from the back though... It definitely is larger and higher and than the stock but not terrible so. If it detracts a bit from the sleekness of the bike then I can live with that. The wind is so much improved.

I appreciate you making the effort to take the photos. You've certainly helped me to make up my mind.

Today I collected it. Rode it for an hour. Waited for it to cool down then removed the hero blobs and pillion foot rests. Fitted single seat cowl, Ixil exhaust, v-trec vario III levers, evotech spindle bobbins and rad guard. Today was a good day

Did you fit the Ixil slip-on? I was considering it (for looks alone). Does it sound any different?

I had a professional fotoshoot in Tongeren , the city where Ambiorix lived

First result

Removed all the stickers today and went for a ride in 6* weather. Took some pic at my local park, while stopped to warm up, I'm old and hate the cold.

GSXS is almost perfect for me stock, need the tail done and riddance of the cat, hate cats too...

Peace

Tsmetjen, beautiful man.

Not to my ears. Weighs less but only by about 500g. The exhaust was the only thing I didn't like the look of and I dont see slip on's making much difference on this bike. While I like the look once it was on it doesn't scream quality part. I still need to sort out a bolt for the heat shield bit (not really a heat shield). It looks like the want you to use the stock bolt but it doesn't fit. Not an important bolt mind you but it should have come with one. But its cheap, I like the look and its small enough that it doesn't need the rear pegs mounted.

Always wanted to take part, but it always clashes with the last day of the bike show.... the day I always go!

Hope it was a good'un

Do you take part as a member of TVAM?

 

[Kiwi Geoff]

Do you take part as a member of TVAM?

Small world! The Chief Examiner of IAM NZ is ex-TVAM as is the Examiner for the Wellington region

 

[Martin]

I'm not a particularly active member of TVAM, but I am a paid-up green badge holder.

Well the strip down went ok until I tried to remove rear bearings.
There is very little play on the axle sleeve so my trusty bearing drift will not fit.
Ordered a new set of drifts so fingers crossed.

Today I received second picture of fotoshoot

Well ............ not today, but a few days ago. This thread needs a reboot.


Vagabond fender eliminator. Easy install, great fit.
