It's coming along!!!

[Well I'm back with good news on my bike... The engine work has all now been done and she runs like a dream..So now I'm close to finishing! All that's left to do is properly mount the seat and paint it and I'm done! I'm posting a picture on here but it is not the most recent one as it doesn't show my side mount license plate/taillight on it. My computer seems to be somewhat tempermental with the gs site lol. Tell me what you think!

[Billyboy]

Those mirrors are pretty cool.

looks great

looks great

Hey this seat set-up looks great. I've been trying to decide whether or not to start hacking my 550t seat/frame to just be a one-seater. I like the look. I do worry about the occasional passenger, but usually I'm riding alone anyway.

p.s. I'm going to put the words SEAT RESTORATION in here, just in case someone does a search. They may want to look at this seat set up.

Lassie come home

Lassie come home

This is an amazing thread, just like one of those lassie films. Reading from the begining I've come over all emotional. Girl meets bike, girl likes bike and thanks the GSrs for the introduction. Bike goes to bed for the winter and wakes up sick, mean doctors say bike needs lots of work and MONEY. Friendly GSrs offer help help, send parts and encouragement. Finally pic fo bike looking well and cool posted...it brings a tear to a grown man's eye. \\/

nice bike!

nice bike!

What a tuff bike! Nice work. You should feel very proud of a sweet ride \\/

 

[retchidxs]

if u have it painted are u going to take the letters off the tank. that way you could ride with guys who have harley davidsons and not make them mad. i like thoe exhausts they will keep you alive they will help keep dumb cages awake.

That is SO cool and unique! Awesome job thinking "outside the bun".

FYI: PLEASE tell us you are going to have some type of muffler on your bike, If you run "open" drag style pipes, you WILL burn your exhaust valves. Mufflers create backpressure pulses that actually cool your exhaust valves.
