    GS 500 update



    Just incase you guys thought I'd given up, here's a progress report.
    USD frontend is done just awaiting discs.
    R1 ducktail is nearly done, needs more paint and undertray made.
    Turbo is coming along slowly, manifold is done, plenum nearly done, intercooler is starting to take shape. I have most of the parts I need. All I need now is the time (and knowledge) to put it all together. lol

    A bit of fibre glass and a bit of bog and the tail light is now mounted.

    Intercooler will be mounted at the front above the turbo. As for the tail, it's a fibre glass racing unit so it had no lights, I just bought the coolest looking one I could find and afford at the time.

    Only if they come chase'n me. This is not a show bike by any means, I'm building it for me as a daily commuter, which like me, will be a bit different.

    Not in Victoria.
