    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Susp. mods that keep a stock look

For a while I was considering going all out on the susp. mods going with newer adjustable forks and upgraded rear shocks/swingarm. However after working on it for a while and talking with my dad on and off we have decided to make it as stock looking as possible. This isn't to mean I want it to handle like it does now though:shock:

Are there any good susp. mods out there that will upgrade the handling of the bike while keeping a stock look? I know the rear shocks aren't going to look stock anymore but I can live with that but I would like to keep the stock front fork. In know it isn't going to have superbike handling but I'm willing to live with that to have it in the same condition that my greatgrandfather had it.

I've been thinking for awhile about ZRX shocks on the rear but don't know if they are to long or not.

Thanks for any help and sorry for the long drawn out post.
 
progressive shocks look pretty "Stock"

the zrx shocks are nice, that's what i upgraded a few weeks ago... I'm still working on dialing them in, but they are a huge improvement over the 27 yr old shocks that were on it
 
Put progressive springs in your stock front shocks and 15 or 20 wt oil and no air and you'll be fine.
 
Josh,

Depending on money, I would recommend racetech emulators and springs for the front, if they make them for you Grandad's GS. I have progressive shocks in the rear, and they retain the stock look, but only have adjustable preload...no damping udjustment. Look at Ikon shocks. Works performance has NICE stuff, too, but they are pricey...400.00 for a set of shocks for mine.


Happy Veteran's day, by the way! Thank You.

Mike
