    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Nicely done ! ! ! :clap:

Don't see too many red frames. Looks great on that combo.

A little flat tracker in that build. ;)
 
Real clean and tidy! I like that you can tell it's still a GS, but plus.
 
more pics more pics! did you make that out of a G, L?

Chain drive so it's not a G (shaft drive) model. It's either an E or an L. Judging by the wheels, I'd say it was an L model.

Now its simply awesome.
 
ok ok....here it is as i got it in 2008 straight from a barn...literally

The bike is a GS450L with a S tank....It engine in this pic is the original, but I spun a bearing and now have a 450T engine in the mail...

Everything is customized....here is a pic of the shaved triple tree, gas cap i fabbed along with the 500 series gauges, and bezel I made...notice the vintage grips and the anodized red and blue throttle....

Here it is befor decals and you can see the licence plate ...this was before i finally installed the tail light...the seat is made of t piece of 7 layer maple ply wood, with the cowling made from the back haalf of a Harley Sportster tank, the fiberglass gel battery is inside of it along with the ignitor


Yes I do it all myself!

Here is an early mock up of the build...

The seat started as a fiberglass project, and went through a lot of stages before you see what you see today...as did the exhaust and cockpit

I'll post more picks after i put in the new motor....
 
Aaaah I remember seeing that last photo on here before quite some time ago.

I really like how you blended that seat pan into the rear of the tank.

Too many guys leave an awkward join there so you can see the seat is not made for the bike.
 
Clever hiding the battery like that, and I like that the wiring is invisable very nice.
 
^^ exactly what i was thinking. Would like to see the ergonomics of you positioned on it.
 
SOLD...for very close to the asking price...as for ergonomics ...get an aeron chair ....it's a bar hopper fun bike not a cross country dresser...I was very comfy on it as was the buyer....here is the kicker...my next project is a Wes Cooley I found in a barn...I may restore it back original or I may just chop it up just to see who I can **** off....just joking I would no do that to the Wes...or maybe;0)
