    You should become a bucket-racer. We have the ability to slot all sorts of motors into all sorts of frames !!

    as for the clipon dents i wouldnt worry about them, mines dented to
    fuck on both sides from lowered clipons and looks factory hehe
    admittedly i wouldnt allow that to happen to a mint tank :slap:

    cheers looks nice! am toying with the idea of stripping mine back as well.
    Got some tomaselli clipons that I'll put even lower and adding a headlamp screen mesh for the hell of it. Here's a pic I took at Deus in sydney. Lots of naked steel.

    looks pretty sweet is it much of a mission to put the clip ons under the riser ? got the hagon shocks the other day so hopefully this weekend the soggy old ones will be finally retired!

    Looks like fun to me,on ya.If you go the Hagon route with the shocks sing out,i bought one of the first rear damper units they made for my TLS and got some great service from there sales guy.I fitted it up prior to going away on a fairly lengthy trip and he phoned before i left asking if he could get some feedback on my return,last time i spoke to him he said to refer anyone i knew to him re product for a bit of a deal,a nice touch i thought.EDIT........Bugger just read your last post,sorry mate.

    na.. not hard at all, it just meant i had to slip the headlight clamp down
    a little...which spaced the headlight down away from the instruments,
    a look that suits it i reckon...im thinkng id like to fit 'ace' bars
    but thatll mean ive gota change my to tripleclamp to a handlebar mount
    job..and i dont know what bikes would have a compatible size etc

    I've owned 3 GB400's and all I can say is make sure your cam chain and tensioner are sound, as the GB is known for these parts crapping out.
    I doubt your electric start still works with that kinda mileage, all 3 of mine failed at some point. Didn't really matter, as was very easy to kick start.
