    Now that's what a GS should look like, IMHO. Got any more pics of the build? I especially like the tank... Very nicely done.

Built the bike a few years ago. Sold it to a local. Got back in a trade a couple of months ago. Now is all gloss black instead of the red and black
      Very nice. I like the black and red sceme best.

        meh...why not?

        Really slick 3-way adjustable old-school showa shocks, GS500 rear wheel, FZR600 forks, FZR600 front wheel and 298mm rotors, K&N pods, Kerker exhaust, Trailtech Vapor gauge cluster, and a little extra bracing here and there.

            Actually I did too! But I have a thing about riding such a distitinctive bike with someone elses colors on it. everyone will say "Isn't that blh, blah blah's bike. Even though i owned it first with that color scheme, he had it longer. Thanks for the compliments. just so no one one whines, it was a REALLY rough gs 750. The only good part of the original body that wasn't beat to hell was the front fender, which we used for the rear fender.I also own a relatively clean 78 1000 C.

                      Kris, this bike turned out BEAUTIFUL! Are you going to make any passes on it after you get the rings sealed? Ray.

                        I apologize for the crappy pictures, it was late last night and all I had handy was my camera phone. 2mp and no light doesn't really do it any justice.

                        Here's mine in a state of near completion, It's a 1980 GS850GL(ady) as I've seen on this site that that's what the L stands for. Well I think after a lot of hard work I'm going to have to find a new meaning for the L.

                        When i got the bike it was actually in really nice shape but that seat and those bars although comfortable were definitely not my style. I went with a set of clubmans, different headlight bracket, new slightly smaller blinkers, custom paint, and a custom seat (almost done i just need a cover). Future possible plans include a different headlight bucket powder coating the rims black a custom gauge cluster (or one of those all inclusive single gauges) and moving the pegs back.

                        **also if anyone could tell me how to add more than one picture on a post that would be pretty sweet too.

                        oh and sorry about the wee bit of a junk shot my garage is small and i was sitting on my fathers V45 Sabre
