Guys Can anyone identify this gs1000 swingarm ? Dresda has been suggested but I'm not sure.

Cheers Wraith No real need to do anything, just wondered if there was a huge performance gain out there for the price of a pair of second hand cams.

Gs1000g tank on mine and it fits perfectly, mind you that is primarily because it is a shafty frame.

I have heard of this mod but is there any real benefit ? Anyone done it ? I'd be interested to here opinions and experiences.

I went from this pipe which was a minimum 2" bore through the baffle tube to a straight pipe that looks like the original Yoshi on the original Cooley bike but the bore was too small. Jetting is spot on for the old bigger bore pipe so I think I just need to go back to a bigger bore like a V&H or a second attempt at copying the Yoshi pipe but a bigger bore.

Morning all I'm thinking of buying a new exhaust for my gs1000. The bike is running Wiesco 1085 and Keihin cr33 carbs, Dyna ignition and coils and is making about 112 hp. Exhaust has been modified since the dyno run and the bike has lost the ability to rev. It is great to 6k but then starts to feel strangled and won't rev out. I am currently re doing the pipe in a bigger bore to chase my lost revs but it has got me thinking about buying a pipe off the shelf. I notice that I can buy a fairly heavily discounted V&H pipe at the mo so my question is what do people think about the performance of the V&H ? Not the drag pipe, the street pipe.

Arse ! Thanks for quick reply, Did you discover any tank that did fit ?

Hi guys I'm wondering if anyone has tried to fit a gs750 petrol tank on a gs1000 ? Yes, no ? Straight on, or needs modding ?

Yep, that's a fair point Sheep.

Lovely, ta.

Guys I have a zx7r swingarm on my gs1000 which makes it 3" longer than standard. I'm looking for another 3" and I'm concidering some kind of extender blocks/bolt on brackets (you know what I mean) I'm slightly sceptical about the strength and longevity of these things. So, who's used them and what sort of results have you had ? If the general opinion is to stay clear of them what other options do I have to achieve my extra 3" ?
