I may repaint the original silver parts of the engine when I remove it later on to paint the frame but I don't plan on painting any of the engine covers I stripped and polished.

I agree, the modern dual muffler look is very nice.
Seems like you changed your mind a bit on the mid-pipes. I like the "flow" of both.2@ \'78 GS1000

Here is where she sat before I had decided on the final layout for the exhaust and missing a few other odds and ends. Front forks are 2012 Hayabusa with 2010 GSXR 1000 lower clamp, Cognito Moto upper, 2007 GSXR 750 wheel and axle and 2006 Yamaha R1 calipers with custom spacers. Master is a Accossato PRS with Core lines on Driven carbon fiber bars and LSL risers. Headlight brackets are Spiegler 50/55mm. Mirrors are CRG Arrows.
The swingarm, shock, linkage and 5.5" wheel is off a 2007 GSXR 750 with a 48 tooth 530 Supersprox sprocket. Tires are Bridgestone Battle axe BT-016 front and rear. Rearsets are Woodcraft for a 2009 GSXR 1000.
The engine is pretty much stock for now other than the 2.25" stainless mid pipes to Yoshimura slipons, RS36 carbs, Uni filters and a Dyna 2000 ignition with 2.2 coils. The cams will most likely get replaced this winter with Web .348's and port work on the heads.
The electronics are mostly Motogadget with a Motoscope Pro dash, M-unit, M-button, M-switches, M-lock, M-pin signals, Antigravity 16 cell battery and a Shindengen R/R.
I'm still working on the battery box and the layout of the wiring, seat pan and a few other small things. The paint on the tank is nice other than a few small dents I'm going to see if I can get removed. I'm thinking of painting the tail and side covers black and leaving off the strips. That will probably wait until this winter.

You have done a really great job there. Pipe mounts could be a little more concealed but I can't think of a way to do that. It might just be the photo angle .'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.

IMG_20150910_150658087.jpgMy 82 GS1100G Cafe. Love this bike. Just puts a grin on my face every time out. Dropped front, raised rear, ace bars, pods, Stage 3, 4 to 1, seat, clocks lowered, polished cases, clutch, exhaust rear light, and the obligatory Cafe 59 Stickers.

Very nice....! I love mine but I haven't done all that work to mine. I have another one and I hope someday to do it up right. That seat looks awesome. I'd like to see a close up of that...please? Cheers.

Oh yeah and what on earth are those things in the background?
It makes for an awesome back drop regardless, but it is distracting me a bit.
Damn childlike curiosity, told it to stay in the car and it keeps following me everywhere I go.

Good looking bikes, all! Like this thread. Lot of imagination and work. Thanks for sharing.And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

Still a few things to do, like paint the tank, and clip-ons are on the way.

I've been hunting for something with a little bit of a more modern flare for my cafe project. Love the yoshi exhaust. Any idea on where someone might be able to get a up swept mid pipe like that. Unfortunately I'm not crafty enough to make my own.
