GS from POLAND
 

Hi my name is LUKAS I live near 3city in Poland. I'd like to show you my GS. I bought it in march and tunned a little bit :) That's all for today but I'am going to do a lot more :twisted: in the winter. I really like your forum and your bikes, especially tunned ones.

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Some more pics. (on two first photos you can see how it looks when I bought it)

Re: GS from POLAND
 

really nice! good work

Re: GS from POLAND
 

good work! the mask is pretty cool :yumyum:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

:welcome:

the rear end looks pretty cool!

Re: GS from POLAND
 

hey, i like your GS, it´s something different from the other ones here in this board. thumps up :!: :!:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Your rev counter is very interesting. Is it a Speedometer inside ?

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Hallo Lukas,

have nice times here in the Forum, an a lot of lucky trips without accidents with your GS :moped:


Greetings from Germany

Peter :wink2:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

dude ur bike rocks the shit!

some interesting new inventions like the back and the indicators panel & speedo kicks ass!

not the crap everybody does :) i like it!

pz

edit:
i just recognized ur missing the little metal plate over the fender... u should aply that back incase u dont wanna twist ur forks!

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Yes :) I've put it inside and function buttons I've hide on the left side of the bar.

Thanks mate it's a good tip, I didn't think about that because many bikes dont have it, but you may be right. Anyway in the winter I'am going to apply new fork (he is waiting in my room with new mono swingarm) and fender too :twisted:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

How do you want to mount the ducati swing arm into the gs? It is about 4cm to wide for the gs frame

Re: GS from POLAND
 

It's mono from Triumph (it's not plug and play this operation wan't be easy :) but it i can handle it)

On polish GS forum they wasn't soo enthusiastic about my bike :( They think that GS is cool only in original, they can't understand why I'am modding it. I've owned few bikes and ride many before, with many more ps too but I want to build my own bike and for my project I choosed GS because of it's advantages. My favoured inspirations I'am always looking in your country :) GERMAN STYLE RULEZ

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Could you provide a little more detail on how you did this?

Re: GS from POLAND
 

I sold my oryginal rev and speedo (for about 100 euro) to a gay who crushed a lil bit his GS he gives me his rev (a bit damaged) as a bonus :D I bought a digi for bikes (scaled to 199km/h for about 10 euro) and try it on, but it didn't look nice soo i put digi speedo in pieces and lcd placed in rev that I've easily repaired and made new buttons on the left side of the bar for changing functions (trip, dist, temp, time, etc) of the speedo and connected it by wires. I'am testing it for about 3000 km till now and everything works just perfect.

PS sorry for my english it's not too good i hope you will forgive me, I speak a lil bit german too :)

Re: GS from POLAND
 

I like your speedo and the neccessary work sounds not to be very difficult.

Btw.:
Don't worry your English, I think it's almost perfect - anyway, it meets the skills of most of us... :wink:
Your German skills will be helpfull too.

Welcome to gs-500.de, have fun!

Edit: I'm looking forward to read more about your planed modifications as well as pics while working on it and, of course, of a hopefully finished custom GS.

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Welcome to our site, buddy. I really like your bike, flat black for life!

Re: GS from POLAND
 

same problem with the triumph swing arm ... how do you exactly plan to modifiy it?

a friend of mine has a tirumph swing arm on his bandit ... he cut the swing arm in half, removed the middle part and welded it back together....

Re: GS from POLAND
 

May be it isn't very difficult, but it'll need a long time (open and close the rev without destroy it :wink: ).

Re: GS from POLAND
 

witam!

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Sorry, but you didn't understand me :D I know that this swingarm will not fit in the GS frame. I've got some expirience in modding, it is not my first umbau :D but this will be the most dificult. I'am going to modify back of the frame and this shaft with sprocket and it is the only way I can fit it in. Modding the swingarm is useless because I will have 180 tire at the back. I'am starting in winter don't worry I put some photos leater :D .

I hope you will not be angry at me, but I think it is not a good way to fit it in, because if you remove middle part of mono the wheel will not be in center line of the bike. In bandit serial tire is 150 or 160 (i don't remember) it is 20 or 30 mm difference between triumph's 180 in GS this diference is 50 mm and if I want to do it PRO frame needs to be moded to get enaugh space for chain.

Witam witam :D

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Hey nice bike, you're obviously not new to the customising scene!!!
I like the overall look of you bike, even when I don't normally like the "fighter" masks...yours looks like its from the paintball (gotcha) area!!!
your rev-counter is class and the buttons on the grips are tidy work....

your english is good too, by far better than my polish!!!

I am really interested in the outcome of you new project...i like the single swing-arm look...I am about to do a similar project myself...with an NC30 Pro-Arm....and hopefully lots of help from Verdi.

keep us posted on your progress.

Leon

Re: GS from POLAND
 

:D Yes you got me it's a paintball mask :) It looks quite nice but I'am selling it :( next week to my friend (to his supermoto) he freaked about it :wink: Anyway I need to build something new for wider forks but I've no idea what it's gonna be :oops: maybe somethimg less agresiv and more classic naked this time. :roll:

PS I have seen Verdi's bike ........PRO work no doubt about it, with his help you'll get your project to the end :yumyum:
Good luck with it

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Is it possible to do this modification in Germany? My Speedo is damaged an i like this mod, thought i could do the same on my bike. But i'm curious if there will be any problems with the TÜV?

Re: GS from POLAND
 

I recommend strongly to talk to an "Expert" of TUEV/DEKRA bevor you start. If you use an e-signed speedo there won't be big problems, using speedos without e-sign will work most times, too. But ingeneers want to know exeactly what you've done. :wink:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

The weather is bad and I've started my umbau earlier :yumyum: MONO,USD, and bodywork

MONO first (problems)
-frame need to be modificated
-I need new custom output shaft (about 30mm longer) my freind is going to made it for me
-rear sprocket need to be modded (from almost 9mm to 6mm) triumph one is too wide GS chain is thinner
-the most difficult I'm finding modification of the clutch mechanism I've some ideas but it's goona be the hardest thing in whole project

more pics and details later

Re: GS from POLAND
 

I also have a question about the speedo...

how do you do the battery change? Do you have to detach the whole thing or do you have the battery at a different place?

And what about the lighting of the speedo? I have the same thing and it has this light function. But this needs lots of battery capacity. How did you solve that?

Btw: great work!!

Re: GS from POLAND
 

I've made a new place for battery. I can change it from outside without putting in pieces the rev (I'm gonna show you fotos of it when I take some) You are right original light of this speedo is very uncomftable I've prepared original GS's rev light to do the job.

Re: GS from POLAND
 

:benni:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

iieeew...not quite gentle...I´m pretty anxious how You´re going to fix that.
Currently I can´t imagine a durable and accurate solution...

Edit:
But the mounting of the frame looks good!

Re: GS from POLAND
 

not sure if you have noticed, but someone has stolen a bit of your frame!!!

That would to the untrained eye look extremely drastic, but to the trained eye....how will you close the gap? what erm bike will you use?

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Just the fill of the gaps is not the most difficult part (weld some trapezoid plate on).
But to complete the frame You've got to work utterly meticulous to assurethe whole geometry and rigidity.

And what about the alignment of the chain?

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Hi a lil update :benni: is ready! I'm on a good way to solve problems that you've mentioned. About geometry after I point welded ... :yumyum: I've measured it few times and my subframe and preparations before I've cutted the frame worked very well. More details later.

See ya :benni2:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

zajebista machina ;)

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Rear suspension linkage need a bit mod, my tail is too low :benni: , but I'am quite satisfied :benni2: now sprocket and clutch pusher :twisted:

PS great Thanks to my friend Simon H for help with some custom parts :)

Re: GS from POLAND
 

..looks pretty cool

...keep it up ! :up:

Re: GS from POLAND
 

...thats just sick :rock2: ...

...I'm looking forward to see that thing finished...

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Looking good....will you blend in the bottom of the frame the same as the top where you widend it?

stikes me as very "Buell" in the shape as it stand now...what are your plans for the rear?

good work.

looking forward to seeing the completed job.

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Naturally, I've got all prepared but I want to take engine out of the frame and do the final welding on the table to keep good quality of my work :benni:

PS my silencer :D

Re: GS from POLAND
 

This machine is f***ing SICK :benni: but i like it.

Re: GS from POLAND
 

Frame is ready! Now time for engine :benni:

Re: GS from POLAND

Re: GS from POLAND

Re: GS from POLAND
 

It's getting better and better...The most interesting GS-modification I've ever seen! Looking forward to see the tail-section as it's ready!

Re: GS from POLAND
