Existing GS550 Owner in DC

[Guest]

Hey all,

I picked up a 1979 GS550 back in July of 2018 and I've been slowly stripping it down into a cafe racer build. I've got a little bit of a handle on what I'm doing but not all that much, so a resource like this website and forum is incredible!

Most of my pictures through the process are in a google photo album that I'll eventually start putting over on imgur. In the meantime, my instagram 'mikeridestbell' has some photos of the project.

Since the GS is in about 550 pieces itself, my normal ride is a 2000 Harley-Davidson Fatboy that I've been riding for about 6 years. Looking to sell that and get a more commuter friendly bike this year.

That's all for now - shoutout to reddit user u/shadowbethesda for pointing me towards this incredible resource pool.

Cheers,

Mike

Welcome! I'm also a former H-D guy now riding a GS, biker culture had turned into something I didn't want to be part of any more. Recently I found out that you can link your Google Photos for others to see, that might be something worth looking into.
