Very, very nice!
Still wondering about those rear-sets. How do they work.
And are those Vipex shocks? What do you think of them?
Stiff???

Looking forward to your assessment of your aftermarket purchases!

hi, ppl. I know its been forever since my last post. Sorry for that. Well, so I haven't done much else with my bike. I'm getting married and I have been spending my money n that. My bike isn't running great right now, it needs an engine rebuild badly. But I haven't had ANY problems with any of the aftermarket items I have put on it. It feel right... the stance, the shocks, the swing arm. its like they were ment to be on it. Even though I haven't been on my bike that much because of all the damn snow and clod weather, rain and all that. I will review me parts more after I have had more time on them. hope to hear from you all soon.

Badboie,

Your bike looks great. Job well done ! I haven't been on in months and the first thread I looked for was this one. I need to get going on the swingarm conversion on my GPz.

wow, so its been sooooooooo long since I last posted on this website. I have had so much going on. I first would like to say Im sorry to all of you for not keeping in touch here. BUT, Im back now since my life has finally started to settle down. I got married to the most awesome woman ever. Its been two years as of the 6th of Feb. I couldn't have asked for a better woman, someone that loves me and thinks my bike is sexy... Im in heaven! She even wants her own bike now and a woman that likes to ride is sexy as hell. Even though she never has... lol but we'll get her on a bike sooner rather then later. I've done a few things extra to the bike, nothing much just completely rebuilt the engine and painted it. Had to figure out something with the electrical since it wasn't keeping the battery charged. Found out that my headlights were pulling to much amperage and had to go to a LED bulb. I haven't got any new pictures of the bike but once i do I'll post them asap. I plan on becoming an avid member to the community again. So i'll be see you all around! Pics to come.
