I have one fitted to an 1100 Katana.  They are a nice bit of work.

Thanks for info, they do look nice

That's nice, is that for the standard Gs1000 forks? 

Yea, on Eblag,  comes with or without the fastec logo and polished or anodized black £120

Look the same as the Micron brace, if so the bottom of the cross member part will sit about level with the bottom of the fork seal/dust cover on the fork.

OK thanks

Has anyone fitted one of these fork braces ?. I was looking to get one for my GS1000 but was wanting to find out how much clearance there was between the brace and guard as i am fitting a fiberglass race style front guard which may sit a little lower than standard and didn't want to see to much of a gap. I can't get an answer from fastec. 

[Tarozzi rearsets]

Just fitted new Tarozzi's , well pleased with the look, only issue fitting was it was tight where brake linkage is as I have a wider calfab swingarm.

I'm currently very happy with my 20mm over Maxton rear shocks. Not sure they've made much difference to sharpening the steering, but it doesnt wallow fully laden, or tramping on round fast bends.

Thanks, I have just had a look at there shocks and sent them an email

Just wondering why You want to raise the Ride height?.

Its not necessarily to adjusted handling,  although will steer quicker it is purely to give it a more aggressive look

Where did you get the swingarm from?

USA from motogp werks,  called calfab short for California fabrications

OT:

What swingarm is that on your bike?

Sorry for late reply.  Swingarm is a cal-fab California fabrications.  They were big in the 80s making parts for the AMA riders. They went under but now been resurrected by the guy who also made my exhaust , Chris at Motogp werks.  You can check them out on Facebook

Its got the ikon/koni dial a ride on now so will be looking for a longer set of similar quality

Welcome! Nice bike- any better pics?

 

Gurls blouse cb900f rear shocks are 360mm eye to eye as aposed to yours (320ish mm) and will fit if you file the bush on the swingarm down by a mm or so.

Not sure how far you can go- but you could work it out using a piece of bar/timber to mock up max shock length before chain fouls.

Thanks, I'm perhaps wanting a more modern shock, ill do some research 

[Ride height GS1000]

Thanks but I'm just wanting to add more rear ride height for the look to make it sit higher at back, also going to be adding some tarozzi rearsets unless anyone knows of a more modern set that can easily be adapted to fit.

[Ride height GS1000]

I am wanting to raise the rear by at least an inch. Does anyone know how far you can actually go with this mod and is the best method for this to simply source longer/ shocks.
