Haha agreed! It'd probably take me a year to figure out how to make a CNC cut a triangle.

Coolest thread ive looked through in a long time. Parts look awesome! I have to go buy a CNC now.

Sucks the old tread got deleted! But good luck regardless. looks good so far. Whats the size of those spoked wheels? 18"?

Lets see a full pic with the Rack! Btw, I took the front reflector off of my forks and it looks way better. I would suggest it.

I just put Gaiters on my GS550e myself. Are those clamps keeping the bottom from rising up alright?

Looks great! I am amazed that you have not run into jetting issues, as I always hear that modifications such as pods and 4-1 exhaust cause a big difference. Im digging into a GS550E myself. I was just about to throw on some clip-ons sitting in my living room. Did you run into any clearance...

Would you mind sharing any info regarding the ignition switch relocation? Which ignition did you go with? Happy with it? Is 1 wire coming from power and all 3 other wires hitting the output? I have a 1980 GS550E and am currently trying to decide whether to move my ignition switch. Bike...

Hmm I dont think I have a parking lights feature. When I turn the key on, none of my lights come on. I thought this added wiring was to make it so the lights are on their own fuse instead of the main. Now, when i turn on my headlight, the tail light comes on. Would this be changed? I would...

Thanks Sonreir. Sounds like this may be as easy as expected. Would you happen to have a link to the last universal switch you purchased? Or your favorite? Also, while searching, I am seeing that many ignitions have only 2-3 wires, while my current system is a 4 wire per the wiring diagram...

Hello all, Anyone have a write up on anything related to this issue? I have a 1980 GS550E and I want to get the ignition switch off of the triple tree and attach it to the frame. Since the stock piece is so huge, I figured an aftermarket ignition switch may be a better choice. Anyone have...

Hello, I thought I would go ahead and see if anyone has unwanted 35MM 7/8" Clip On Handlebars for sale before I go and buy a new set. I would like for them to be adjustable if possible and smaller risers would be a plus (not a fan of the Emgo ones). Let me know what you have and please...

Hello All, Heres my GS550E that I have had for almost a year. I have been working to make some cafe racer updates to it, but currently don't have a proper garage to make any major modifications. So, I have updated the headlight, handlebars, guages, shocks, etc. I plan to switch to clips ons...

This is exactly what I want to happen. Not sure if it will though. I also wouldn't be upset if they went ahead and fixed it up. Either way. Meanwhile, if someone on here has a shop and is willing to get paid a little to do an estimate for me, that would be awesome. I still am yet to hear...

Hey guys, Any advice for a repair shop to handle an insurance claim in Chicago? I have a 1980 GS550E and have had a hell of a time trying to get an estimate for the insurance company to process. It was hit by a truck while parked in the loop late last week and has mild damage to it. I have...

Thanks for the reply loctite. Sounds like this will be easier than i thought. I did know about the diode issue from searching around the web and used diodes on my jeep's turn signals, so i am familiar with them. I have purchased THIS GAUGE...

I looking to get rid of the huge gauge cluster on my GS550e, so I purchased a mini tach to replace it. To go along with the tach, I would like to install a few LED lights to act as new idiot lights. Nothing intense, but simply a turn signal light, neutral light, and oil pressure. I have been...
