Interesting tail piece. The chrome fender is a bit un-cafe. You have plans there?Dogma

Wooooow! Like the last 10 bike postings are "worthy" of comments. Great muscle representation!

I must ask.....
Why did the bike manufacturers of that ara(85'ish) put so much emphasis on the tail section of those bikes?
Great looking bikes but the rear ends are larger than the tank.sigpic

Love the look of your bike. I have been following your thread about the GSXR upgrade swap. I just bought back my 82 GS1100e (see pic) and am very excited to follow along the lines of your swap. One question though. What make is your front fairing? Love the look.
Cheers
Paul

This is what it looked like when I bought it.
I got a new tank and painted it along with the cylinder head covers.
The engine is being COMPLETELY rebuilt as we speak. I am hoping to have everything else done by riding time next year.

Thanks for the welcome. I bought it in late October last year and had time to ride it once for about a half hour. Living in Illinois it got too cold to ride quick so I haven't had enough time on it to tell how painfull it is to ride. I had a friend start rebuilding the engine in April and he got busy and had to push my bike aside for a while. The engine is ready to go back together now. I wanted to get it road worthy and safe to ride before I hopped on. There was no front brake period and the back brake, I realized was missing some bolts after I dropped it off to get worked on while we were looking it over. So needless to say it needs a lot of work.

That's tragic. GS crashed into a Harley and was fused together. If I had a gun, i'd shoot it and put it out of it's misery.

What did that tank come off of and does it bolt up the same?

Chris-Harris, Its a Harley Sportster tank. It needs fab work to bolt up. I got a flat bottom put on it and got the petcock moved to the back of the tank and still need to adjust the mounts in front.
