Done!

I finally got this GS450A pieced back together and actually rode it today.
It sat for over 15 years. I had some trouble with the carbs. I took them apart again today and cleaned everything. It took awhile to get it started, but when it did, it ran nicely. I am going to try put up a pic here.

hows the automatic feel?

It's different. I haven't rode an automatic since I was around ten years old. My buddy had an auto dirtbike. It's kinda cool. It is a very smooth ride. I let my neighbor ride around the block a few times. The license plate is dated 1987, so I can't ride too far. I still have to get a title for it. It's very fun to ride.

does it shift by its self or is it just clutchless?

It has two gears actually. Low and High. For around the town, you just use low. It is good for up to around 40-50 MPH. If you are going onto the highway, shift into high. All the way down is neutral, one up-low, two-up high. It does not shift by itself at all.
