      No big deal for me, it's paid for, it's mine, don't care what anyone else thinks, I will personalize it to suit my needs. I know sooner or later I was gonna do it, just deciding to solo ....

          Smoregrava: I agree about the tail, but I was thinking early 2000's GSXR 1000 tail, depends what I find for the price and looks. Did you have to cut up the seat rails? Front end is '96 GSXR1100.

          Mixongw: Supertrapp 10" total length, 4" body, 2" inlet and it's stainless steel, tunable and sounds great, I can adjust my backpressure and sound.
          why not keep the original tail plastics and shorten the seat down ..thereby keeping the original style of the bike yet making it a bit smarter

            Stet, what ammo do you have in that brute?
            It's extended 2.5'' inches in that pic and it's packin some punch But I mostly used it to bracket race. I am in the process of updating it a little more it getting a longer swingarm and inverted front end and some 83mm bullets. here is a pic of it set up to race. I was experamenting with paint on the rear wheel trying to blend colors

                Here is what mine looks like so far. I mocked up the factory tail peice to help decide what type of seat/tail section I want. I think this is close.
                I also wanna lower the rear about an inch.

                Hey, it ran decent before I took it apart..

                      My GS850 Custom

                      First post here, will get better pics soon. Bike has alot of billet items custom machined like large acorn oringed nuts for swingarm, footpegs, rear tail covers, handlebar pullbacks welded to original tree. arlen ness fairing and directionals, high polished case covers, read drive, front forks. no welds showing on frame 60 hrs of smoothing and fill (no cracks yet after 7 years) viper red, hugger orange and prowler yellow all loaded with pearl. Harley rear fender, tailight, krinkle engine paint. pods, 4 into 1 vance hines, rejetted, ported and polished heads.

                      I know there are many purists here but I have owned this bike since 1982 puchased for 1100 bucks and I have 5500 into it to date with 30k miles. Motor has been rebuilt couple times for mods and blown head gaskets. It just keeps getting harder and harder to fend of them pesky ninjas and eclipses

                      I run this bike HARD and have no mercy on it.... if I had a buck for every wheelie since purchased I could buy a hyabusa cash down

                          If you can corner,shift and clutch all at the same time, you have my respect.. Jockey shifts are a pain to ride,, cool in a straight line though

                            just wondering how you pull a wheelie on an 850 shaft?
                            never tried it myself.
                            drop the clutch in first gear?

                                Devil Shifter

                                Cool shifter, fits right in with NJ
                                Thanks! I actually live right by the Pine Barrens & grew up listening to Jersey Devil folklore!

                                Hey thats a cool chopper. I like it :-)
                                Thanks! I'm just getting her out on the road for the first time after a year-long build.

                                If you can corner,shift and clutch all at the same time, you have my respect.. Jockey shifts are a pain to ride,, cool in a straight line though
                                I hear ya! If I had it to do all over again, I would **probably** not build it with the hand shift/foot clutch. But once you get used to it, it quickly becomes second nature. "Cool in a straight line" definately, ....BUT it's actually the coolest in the parking lot, because that's the first thing people come up and ask me about!
