    New(er) parts from Suzuki GS 1200 SS

    I just learned that Suzuki still makes the GS new in Japan and was curious if the frame dimensions are similar to a 1980 GS 1000 or 80s 1100. Anyone know?

    The rear sets in particular caught my attention. I've seen similar projects that retrofit GSXR sets but could these bolt directly to the frame with no mods? Same question applies for other parts (seats, gas tanks, exhaust, engine parts, etc).

    Direct bolt on? Surely you jest?

      I'll take that as a NO. It looks so similar to my bike that I was tempted to think the parts would be swappable.

      Lookup "naive" and you'll find a picture of me.

        A significant number of people all over the world, people use the Internet and the picture is very useful, interesting and beautiful. If your image is properly established, first of all, you can search for it image marketing.

            Man, although it is typically neutered in power there in the Land of the Rising Sun, the fact that it weighs 400 pounds is extremely impressive.
