Many people have now asked me to create a thread on the upgrade process to get your GSA onto your to GS. Whilst mine is still in progress there are some minor challenges along the way.

I have made quite few parts for the conversion and I have obviously bought many original BMW parts second hand. In a subsequent post I will post what you need to do the conversion and how I did it, and more importantly what it cost.

You will firstly note that both wheels are on the ground now while on the center stand.

So what does it look like, here is a picture of the result:
