I know right! First one I've ever seen in the flesh. The fucking front down tubes look like they've been made out of old crow bars! Same for part of the subframe!

Thing is, I can kinda see what their design committee were getting at. Four chrome exhaust outs = 'muscular engine'. Handlebars to match the handlebar under your nose. Two tier seat for two up comfort. Inclined tank to match that low rider look. Non-spoked wheels for sporty look.
But the combined package? Fuck me, it's awful. I can't decide what the worst part is, there's so many of them. I'm leaning towards the subframe, but probably should stick with "the entire thing".

They all made "customs" like that at the time. There's a guy on the GSResources whose signature says "Life's too short to ride an "L" He's right IMO.

Yeah I remember most of them all too well mate. Mate of mine still has his Z750LTD! And I remember the GS *L* family well too. Just that I've never seen the later 4 valve GSX engine and full floater version! It's even uglier!!!

Quite a nice build...but nah. And if you're gonna go to all that trouble, surely the thing wants a set of flatslides or smooth bores??

What's the purpose of that thing mounted on the back top of the front mudguard asides from unsprung weight? I'm confused .

Wanky fork brace. Like that front end needs one.What's the purpose of that thing mounted on the back top of the front mudguard asides from unsprung weight? I'm confused .

Yeah, the 28mm axle isn't tough enough to tame the non existent independent movement of each fork.

Never seen a fork brace like that on USD fronts. Pointless I'd guess as the point of the USD units it to offer superior bracing.

Indeed, the stiffness of a tube increases as the square of its diameter. Ergo, a thinner wall tube of a larger diameter is as stiff as a thicker (or solid) tube of smaller diameter with larger wall thickness.

You could melt your own indicator if the gutless pile of poo made enough heat out of your rapped exhaust!
