The 1150 redux

[GS1150Pilot]

I've decided to strip the fairings from the 1150, mount Bandit front and rear suspension and wheels, a Koso RX-2 instrument cluster, and will be redoing the wrap's white areas in a gloss gunmetal.

I'd appreciate advice from those who have grafted Bandit suspenders onto 1150's in the past.

I plan to buy an old GL1100 standard to do long trips on; the GS will be for around town, short jaunts, bike nights, and the occasional test n tune days.

Updated suspension and ZR tires are fantastic upgrades for the GS. PM hjfisk, he's done a Bandit conversion to his GS1000. I know he's done other conversions as well to a plethora of bikes, super knowledgable.

Good luck with the project! Look very much forward to the results!

Cool, I'll be watching with interest. There doesn't seem to be nearly as many 1150 restomods as there are older GSs given that treatment.

I've noticed that, Glen. This one will go together in phases. I want to do the front end first, along with the cosmetic changes. The rear swinger and wheel will go on last, along with whatever high end shock assembly I can source. After all of this is done, the motor will at last go under the knife. I need to send the Yosh out to Jet-Hot, too.
