    Nice bike! Did you used to have a GS with custom body work?

      Okay, I think I got it!
      The front calipers in this pic are held on with zip ties, I needed spacers and ended up swapping them out for R1 calipers a day later.

        Here’s the backside, B12 into stock swinger.

          Charlie G, yes, I have my ‘82, which I have been poking at since ‘09. I actually jumped on the ‘83 off Craigslist with the intent to rob it of it’s engine and such. I realized as soon as I saw it, it was too nice to break. Hence, the “Parts Bike” moniker, as it’s ludicrous to think of it as one.
          The ‘82 is a GS in spirt only, anymore, as I am swapping in a GSX1100F engine. All that remains is the tank, about half of the frame, the iconic train headlight, kickstand and little else.

            It took me a bit to remember you and your project. Really admired your workmanship on that til section. You need to finish it some day! Glad you picked up the 1100 as it's a keeper. Cheers!

                Ah, the ol' zip-tie mounting method.
                Probably floating rotors why not floating calipers.

                I am starting to come around on the black headlight ring look.

                  Many years ago I hit a deer with the 1100e I had at the time. After I replaced the glass, I was left with a scuffed up headlight ring which I dolled up the best I could, then painted it black. I preferred that look from that moment on.

                    1970. They had the full chrome bumper. '69 had the split grille, and '68 looked like this.

                            Certainly remember that hot rod.
                            Always liked the look of Astralite wheels.
