Long time no post, but I'm still busy with the GSX This how it is now. Ordered some Slingshot brakes, a GS500 sprocket carrier (thanks for the tip gary ), so in the near future it should be running

Long time no post, but I'm still busy with the GSX.. Oh yeah.. Can't beat the look of an ET (or EX).. The Giuliari seat looks so at home on these bikes as well.. I found the lack of a bum stop and the slippery cover not great for riding though (so I modified my seat).. Btw.. I'm sure Suzuki's with gold anodised handlebars are faster.. Ordered some Slingshot brakes.. Those'll work.. The caliper adaptor thingy looks a bit wobbly to me though (but it might work perfectly fine anyway).. Also I don't understand why people (and Suzuki themselves) connect the brake lines like that.. The line running between both calipers will always be a high point where air bubbles collect and cannot escape by rising to the master cylinder and reservoir..

I agree on the part that Suzuki's with golden handlebars are faster I think I will have this seat recovered, so maybe a less slippery material can help, thanks for the tip I've found the drawing for the adapters here on OSS, being used by a racer, so it should be good enough. I will disassemble the front forks and tidy up everything, but first I'm building her, then making her prettier
