OK, here's a try using flickr.

Set your album to Public and then click the "share" reference and select the BB link and paste it here. I can't do your photo right now because I'm at work and the firewall knocks down flickr.

I played around with the previous posts image and got it to work. Thanks.

I also fixed the horn problem I had earlier today. It was the last electrical issue.

The fuel low warning light does not work with the new gauge. The design is flawed. This is one of the big reasons I went to a Pingle with on/off/reserve. I can go into it in detail as I'm a retired electrical engineer, but the short story is that a resistive sending element such as the ones this GS uses and also those with NTC thermistors will not work. In order to turn off the LED completely a 12V signal must be applied. Anything less and the LED will have various stages of brightness. I like the gauge otherwise though.

I can see that picture perfectly. Good camera too. What an interesting set-up!

I think that frame would bend like a pretzel before the swingarm flexed. BEEF!

If memory serves me correctly it's from a GSXR1100, not the GSXR1000 as the port spacing on the GS1100 and GSXR1100 are the same. The header is adapted to the head by the components pictured here. These are from the GSXR1100. the ones I designed for the GS1100 are obviously installed on the bike and are of different dimensions.

Sorry, but I don't know how to rotate once it's posted and this is the only way I know how to post at this time.

I'm guessing it is a 86-88 GSXR pipe rather than the 89-92 GSXR 1100. The 2nd gen hangs much lower because GSXR engine is taller than the GS. I have test fit both on a GS and the 86-88 1st gen are always much tighter.

I think this may be it. At least the canister looks identical. I can't see the pipes, but it is the SS2R.

Yea, the swingarm is stout. The frame is a bit stronger with the mods necessary for a mono, but I didn't add gussets everywhere as some of the articles I've read list.
