TOPIC:

When you mount the oil cooler, you may want to mount it lower than the normal gpz550 position. This way you can put on a steering damper in the future. But you also have to put stiffer springs in so the fender won't contact the cooler.

just a thought. The damper is a life saver for me.

a closer shot

Those are of an after market damper. I recently found out a damper from an old Kawasaki H2 (or H1) two stroke also fits with a few small modifications. Either way, the oil-cooler needs to down a little.

Made some slight progress.... cut frame and some brackets, threw the seat pad on and propped it up in position (almost), soon will be turning my friend the welder loose on it to make the seat brackets and reinstall the battery box and electronics...

Thanks Loud, that's a good idea, I kind of plan on a damper when I can run across one someday.
