Re: My 03 GZ

Cool mods, nice looking bike. Just out of curiosity, could you tell us the manufacturer and specs on the whitewall tires that are on the bike?

Re: My 03 GZ

I will let everyone know asap. I know for a fact the rear tire is a Venom. And it had Showa rear struts originally but I put the springs on for now. Harley Sporster rear lowering struts should be here soon then comes the springer seat

Re: My 03 GZ

Your one of the reasons I love this site. Please post as much info as you can about your bike. Like I said I'm transforming my bike so any info would help. Those white walls would make my bobber GZ look crazy cool

Which struts are those? Anything that improves the ride sounds good to me. :2tup:
Don't get excited.
I think his starting point was struts ONLY and no springs.
Almost anything you do would improve on THAT situation. :biggrin:
It is one small step away from a hard tail.

I actually make use of them from time to time to kick my legs back. Was a joke to mock my buddies on sport bikes :biggrin:

Re: My 03 GZ

Love the bike, especially those whitewalls! I've been looking for a bloody ages for some, someone must know where to get them???

What does an open air filter do? I really like the sound of my bike when I remove the air filter but there's no way I'd ride it without it. Can't be could for the carb. I presume it bypass's the airbox and filter entirely and goes straight out does it?

Also - Is there a side mounting kit available for the reg plate and tail light to fit the GZ? I've noticed 2 or 3 bikes of yours on here with them, and the look fantastic.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Re: My 03 GZ

An open air filter sounds the same as taking filter out".CAUTION" If you use a open filter be prepared to re jet your carb as bike will run very lean and over heat.A good aftermarket filter is the HIFLO-FILTRO-HFA-3503.It can be bought for around $20.00. :2tup: A open filter allows much more air into the engine thats why you hear more noise and need to rejet.

Re: My 03 GZ

I've never rejetted a carb before, can understand why this would have to be done. Is this something you've done before? Any pointers?

Thanks for the air filter info, it's exactly what I need (provided of course I can rejet the carb). Can do most things on my bike so pretty confident at this stage.
