This is how she looked when i took her home, not bad but not good. At this point i was going to keep her the way she was. Well i had that near death the other day were as my rear fender hooked over the highway bar i got midEVIL (no spelling problem here!) on it with the sawzall and this is the end result
its looking better but i started digging in the parts been, specifically the chopper parts been and found a set of stainless steel struts for the rear, which got me thinking about my buddies KZ900 that has a drag bike look but still totally streetable. i guess that would be called pro street but im not sure since ive never been into racing bikes.
Basically i want to drop the rear 3 with the struts. Im unsure how that would affect the shaft drive. Would it improve hookup or hurt it. i know my comfort is going to go down but that doesnt matter much to me.
Next i want to lower the front 2, i plan on doing this by just dropping the forks in the trees. and then add a nice drag bar or superbike bar. Are there any benefits to either style as far as handling? I know my lean angle is going to drop substantially but that is suspension related and not really affected by handlebars.
So any thoughts? Also if anyone has any pictures of GSs done this style please lead me to them, i can find KZs up the wazoo done like this but no GSs and could use some inspiration.
