Well that and your main freeways not having any corners from one side of the state to the other. :woohoo:

mine has a 2001 gixxer inverted forks with stock rim and race tires. rear is a 2004 gixxer 600 swing arm with race 180 tire. both tires are sticky as heck. gixxer pegs mounted high on the frame, might move them up further. hit beg to soon, i have ore rear tire, so they need to go higher!!!! i was able to hang with the newer bikes in the corners on my '78 650. gotta love that.

now going to up it to a '80 750 engine for a little more umf. love the corners. dragging pegs and getting low. but i like to go fast on the straights also. i guess i love both worlds!!!!!!!!

lets see some pics of the suspension updates that people have done (ie forks and rear swing arms)

Mine's all done on the cheap, and is even period correct: I just changed from my stock LTD offset fork to one from a GPz750 (thanks RRRR!) I made my own rearsets, but they're more like midsets, nothing too extreme. Superbike bar. Tapered steering head bearings. Fork brace. I'd like to switch to an 18" rear wheel and a stronger swingarm if I could find them for cheap.

Hey guitargeek,
I want a bar like that for my 81 550LTD (the stock pull-back bar is too "cruiser" for me and I'm big enough that it cramps the cockpit, so to speak).

What can you tell me about it? Where to buy... size... will the stock gripsets and accessories work with it? Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!

Yeah man, it's called a "Superbike" bar. It rides the line between comfort and sport, a neutral riding position.

You might also consider modifying your foot pegs & controls. I moved mine about 7" back and probably 3" up from where they were. Again: sporty but still comfortable.

Here's the recipe:

'96 GSXR750 USD forks
ZX9 front wheel w/310mm rotors, 6 piston calipers
ZX6 rear wheel
Pirelli Dragons 120 and 170
Moto X bars
Stock alloy swingarm and shock, trying to decide whether to go with a GSXR shock or...?
