PHOTOSHOOT. what do yall think
 
so this was my first time posting anything so it all got a lil mixed up with the 10 pic max b.s. but yall get the idea
 
Paint is awesome and really like how you cut the rear fender. Keep up the good work.

Nice looking bike IN THIS PICTURE.
You probably paid way too much for a non-running bike though.
What the heck went so terribly wrong with it while it was in your possession?
Was it stolen and recovered by the LEO's? :confused:

jason thanks. mmm other guy i bought it at a swap meet there was just some security there. i just cleaned the carbs out and it runs fine so 900 for a runnin bike ;)
 
maybe this will help you guys understand why it is necessary for me to have a bike rack

I thought the bike rack was a nice functional addition. My son would like to make a Kayak rack on his. I like the green and cream combo. The red pipes don't do much for me tho. Looks like your on the coast of N.C. to me.

I used to BMX on a 2005 GT Performer but everyday, I'd come back home with a broken ass. I suck at it :rolleyes:.
 
Having that much weight up that high and behind the axle is just begging for problems. :rolleyes:

Functionally, you would be far better off with a small trailer, instead. :o

Sorry, but like 7981GS, I think it looked better in the "BEFORE" picture.

.
 
I like the bike!

Although the bike rack is a bit much for me, I get it's use. Is it removable?
 
I kinda like the little bike. I think the paint is cool, in a ninja turtles inspired way :rolleyes:.

Again I gotta say it looks funky with the BMX out back but as long as it handles OK I guess it works for you.

The 1 inch bar is the first I've seen on a GS though. I like the shorty levers too.

Please paint that exhaust black though. The red cans are obnoxious looking. :cool:

Also don't get discouraged by people here who may not like your work. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but hey. Different strokes for different folks right?
 
my bike only weighs 20 pounds so its hardly noticable on the back there. tim tom this makes you the 6th person in a week who has called it a ninja turtle :mad: not what i was goin for be whatevs ha. i kinda like the red but thats me. im not worried about what anyone says i built this for me not yall i was just curious what yall thought
 
Not a big L fan, but I am a bicycle guy myself so I understand wanting to have it all. I'd like to come up with some kind of fork mount for my MTB's but don't think it will work on either of my bikes.

Like the paint, too, although I never even thought of the ninja turtles.
 
charlie im out by fayetteville. bigL? why not just put a trailer on for your mtbs :lol: .but yea ive riden it with and without my bike on it a little bit since i havent gotten it regestered yet :( and i just broke my foot :'( .but you cant tell to much of a diference i guess cuz the weight is so low and its only 20 pounds. ya know set 20 pounds on your back seat and take your bike for a spin, it wont really make a difference. plus a bike is pretty big but if you look at all of the surfaces that actually get hit by the air its acually pretty aerodynamic, everything is round tubing.i just need to remember i have about an arms length on each side of me that i need for clearance ya know so i dont hit **** with my bike lol.katman thanks thats more like what i was expecting to hear
