GPz900R - The Modern Way

Thanks to responses to this Blog, I have decided to add some additional info (as time permits) about other GPz900R Owners Wheel Conversions.

Please jump to the Blog   http://moderngpz900r.blogspot.com.au   to view other Owners conversions.

The new blog will also give information on what each owner did to ensure they made a more complete conversion or "modernisation" of the GPz900R. This means what they needed to address in order to make sure the change in the bike handling was addressed. Also brakes, tyre choice, carbs, handlebars, etc.

Remember a conversion needs to take a wholistic approach.
In any bike or car you should not make modifications without addressing the whole picture.

For example, in a bike...
If you put more power into the engine then you surely should upgrade your brakes.
Maybe you would put better Tyres on your bike.
Maybe a stronger Chain.
Address some New Suspension.
Maybe better Cooling.
And a better Headlight.
Maybe even a louder Horn ! (etc,etc...)

So... With respect I love the GPz900R as an Original Bike.
But I also love the modified kind.
That's what this new Blog is about... sensible upgrades to your GPz.
