Thanks mate! I enjoy my 450 very much I promise to post pic's in this thread once I get some nice "completed" ones... I haven't posted any in this thread yet...

You've done well to get the 250 back in such good shape, that's a good effort!

The good thing with these twins is that they're so light and easy to handle and you can really wring their neck without as much risk of overdoing it...

I like your 450, you did a lot of work on that thing. That's dedication !

The 250 is nice, she runs sweet.
The bike hadnt run in 5 or 6 years, there was quite a bit of rust on the frame and the chrome, the engine covers were a mess, the airbox had been infested with mice, the rear brake was frozen, the electrics were sad but not too bad, one of the carbs had the end of a pilot jet broken off down in the carb so that carb was scraped and a replacement found thanks to a forum member (HJFisk who also got me the igniter), and I was fortunate the motor was in in good shape.
I adjusted the valves, change the oil, new spark plugs and igniter and it fired right up.
I cut out the exhaust crossover chamber (rusted out), and used sections of electrical conduit from the headers to the PO's Mac exhausts.
Now 2 into 2.
It's a little louder that I like but will be fine for the time being.
I pecked at it for about 5 months.
It's a whimpy little thing but what a pleasure (joy) to ride.

Good job! Nice and shiny

How's she run?

My little 250

Heres my 250 after 5 months of love.



Runs like a champ.

Nice ones fellas! Good to see this thread continuing

Once I get some good "completed" photos of my 450 I'll add them in... still waiting for the right shots in the right amount of sun when it's actually clean...

Nice bikes!

Here's a picture of my 1980 GS450ET at a stop during it's first ride- today!

Thanks to everyone who has posted such great comments and questions...The tank is stock 450 but not a 450L an 450S (I think)...the taillight and licence plate and tail light are on the other side of the bike...the plate is curved to meet the contour of the rear shock....I'll post a pic of it soon...the tail light is made from a scooter tail light, dash light bulbs and the center cap off a set of ICW wheels off my now totaled 97 DX Civic

Thanks. The gr650 has got a ways to go. I'm going to get a small battery and hide it under the seat with the electronics, to open up the mid section. It is going to be a bare bones bobber. Nothing extra.

Cool GR650 Scudder! Did you ever see Desert Rat's GR? Yours reminds me of it.

And Alleyrat: is that the stock 450 tank? If so, it looks very different in white.

Alleyrat,

Any info on year/model?

Where's the rear lights & plate?

Looks great!
