    New Guy Obviously. Saying Hey.

    New guy saying hi. Names Josh.

    Bought a 79 GS550 3 years ago for $50 as a pile of parts. Loaded it up in my mustang and went to work getting her ready to ride. Was missing 75% of the bike so o decided to hard tail it and make it a kicker only bike. Long story short on her she's all done and fun as hell. Handles like a dream being rigid frame and take off like a rocket.

    Got the wife to get her mc license and bought her a 83 shafty 850 that was already bratted. She didn't like the wight so I ride it and she sports the 550 kicker. (Lucky girl)

    Been a Lurker for a while for all my needs of specs and such and decided to join this plentiful wealth of knowledge forum.

        Thanks for the welcome.

        As for the bike in the mustang. The guy I bought it from didn't think it would fit either. I leaned the passenger seat all the way back, put the frame and wheels on the front seat and loaded the motor and forks up in the trunk.

        That's essentially all that came with the bike. Frame, harness, kerker 4-1, forks, motor and wheels. Everything.g else was gone. But I made it work. Oh and the tank. Tomorrow I'll post the pics of the bike when and how I got it and some of the build shots.

          What??? No pictures of that?? You didn't mention what year Mustang, but I wouldn't even attempt anything like that in my 2001.
