    78 gs1000c upgrade

    Hey whats up guys as the up coming winter is nearing i am looking into upgrades and mods and
    Getting the bike to were i want it to be.

    1 It is just a tad too tall for me and am wanting to
    Lower it maybe an inch or half an inch im not wanting to make the ride ability worse so if
    There is a way to do that let me know.

    2. I have also seen a couple of threads about gsxr conversion for the front end and was
    Wondering if that would be a better way to upgrade and lower it.

    3 i would also like to do the rear swing arm conversion

    I am looking for everyones knowledge and insite into doing these mods
    My bike is a 78 gs 1000c
    And parts lists if anyone has them

    Thanks guys and girls if theres any on this site

    You must have short legs. Here are some free things you can try before taking anything apart. You can drop the forks in the tree for an 1"-1 1/2" without much change in handling and put the rear shocks to their softest preload position if you haven't tried that yet. if you still want to go lower, you can replace the stock spacer in the forks with a shorter one made out of PVC Schedule 40 tubing and find a 11 or 12" rear shocks.
