I had incorrectly identified them before; these are GS550/650

Yes, better dampening and they also have compressed air assist with the air valve at the top of the tube just under the cap. Plus the brake calipers and discs are better too. With tubes available now that have 2 calipers the braking power will take a jump. Wink

AND IF that braking power is not very judiciously utilized on any surface offering less that excellent traction, the bike & rider will be takin a dump.

Which is no reason to not do the mod, besides, an inattentive rider can dump it, as is. Ive done it & seen it done.

Indeed, that is called "developing control touch" so that the unplanned departure from the scheduled flight plan is avoided Wink

With the changes in the photo keeping sites it harder to move photos, at least for me. Try this link, it should bring up some photos.

Lancer,

Just attach the pictures to a post with the "Choose File" button. You can only do one picture per post, but once they have been uploaded to the site you can use them in other posts with the "Insert Image" button.

You need to have the picture stored on the computer you are posting from. If it's not, simply download it from your photo storage site. You can remove them from your computer once the have been uploaded to the sit

Drag and drop, select the preview/thumbnail size in bbcode, copy and paste! I also select the never delete option when uploading. So many images have been removed on the site. Us young bloods never got to see all of the veteran ls650s. :'(
