So, finally the weather has turned and the project is on time and close to budget. Likely, I'll be doing more riding and less of all the other stuff. Theres still a few bugs to iron out but basically this is it.

Nice Looking Scoot there Bopi. Hope mine turns out that well finished...
What did you use for your tube plugs? Thats one area where mine looks a little, um...backyard mechanic. I like the looks of yours.

Good job. I'm liking that.
Amazing how many different styles you can do from a basic GS!!
Is that a standard front fender cut down or something bought elsewhere?
its just the style and size I want for my bike....

and she runs great....... good thing too because its been a long winter.
Front fender is stock with a little hacksaw, back is the HD dyna
railplugs were turned in a lathe,
seat is a size 4 skirt w/ aluminum pan and a little (lot) of super glue
by the way, those hills have alot of twists to them. i'll have to go and explore some of them.

Soon.
I have a long weekend coming up, and the weather is going to be perfect for hiding out in the garage. All that remains is upolstering the seat, rerouting the wire harness, and paint.

That looks great Bopi! That is very similar to the look I am going for with my GS. Yours looks a lot better with those original front turn signals gone. I had planned to lower mine back down to get rid of the gap between the wheel and the rear fender; but I see that when I mount my dyna fender, most of the gap will be covered by the fender sides.

rides smoother too'
stock suspension /stock airbox.
i'll see what I can do for you mike, maybe by the end of the week
would you prefer alum or stainless. also the plugs can be used as extensions as you'll have to recut the tube which means i can make em any length you need. Bullets maybe. I'd have to look at how set back your mounting screws are to judge the amount of shoulder they'll need.

That looks great.I see several of us here are building custom bikes along the same lines.

Looks absolutely beautiful. Everything flows - it doesn't look slapped together at all. Definitely the kind of look I'm shooting for with my GS. Enjoy!

I think your bike is very very well done.It looks like a factory custom and that is intended as a compliment.Ron B

Well thanks for the compliments gang, so heres the current dilemma (sp)
Some guy just listed an 81 gsl 1100 in the local paper for a very reasonable price.Its actually got hard luggage , fairing , the works
The wife of course won't go for this again .
Maybe i should teach her to ride. Could avoid some fighting.
Hmmm

That may be the best idea. Man, I just love your bike. What did you use for a tail light?

Its an e-bay catseye.
it was a 2 wire when ordered ( i found this out too late)
and had to convert to a 3 wire.
