Title: Gyro Headsets
Post by: shinobi on March 14, 2007, 08:32 PM

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me out here.

Im going to refurb my GT Perfromer and I just wanted to know what to do when it cae to fitting a new Gyro. Do I need to look for a NOS or can I go with any modern version?

Many thanks.

i've had a look and as far as i can tell, you can use a new version if you like, so mechanically yes,

as for using new school on old school :(      dont ask me im not a purist :-X :LolLolLolLol:

Im totally with you though. It would do the bike justice to have a Gyro from the appropiate year but its tracking one down that is the problem. Unless you know where I can aquire and old school Gyro?

If you can get a modern 1" version then I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. If you want NOS then Alan's is where it's at....

Hi,

Just make sure you get the 1" version.

One word thou, i could only find black long upper cables to fit the modern gyros
