Inspiration for Cafe racer builders - 1978 GS550

I've decided to keep my centerstand because I hear that our bkies don' oil themselves properly upon start up/ warm up unless they're standing up straight.
... or were that my V4? :?

'm also having no luck putting it up on the bike jack lift cause the exhaust is in the way.

And that tank is the Holy Grail!

Looks like i'm keeping the centre stand for practical reasons then.....

Might have tracked down a plastic front fender too so thats coming along next.

Took some new pics last night in the sunshine too:

FWIW: If your planning to remove the airbox its pretty easy to re-use your battery box by turning it through 90degrees.

Mine has the starter solenoid mounted on two studs under the airfilters and a copule of brackets and tabs cut off and welded back in (especially for the rubber battery strap clips)

Looks neat and tidies the whole area up to give that "see through the frame " look.
