          A file. Paint the motor, then file them down. I think the NEWER GS motors came stock from the factory that way. But the older ones you can take a file to the fin edges on the head and get them to look pretty good.

            if you look real close the fins on the head are cut. theres a pattern cut into them.

                This is my 1977 GS750B Cafe Racer build project. Its not done yet, but slowly and surely working its way there. Of course, I keep thinking of MORE things I want to do, so it may well never be done, but here she is for now...



                I built the fibreglass seat by hand, and the tank I will be using on it isnt on it in this pic, but I hand beat knee indents into it as well. The whole bike was stripped down to the frame, and Ive added some performance mods, such as progressive dual coil shocks, a GS11000E aluminum boxed swingarm, Tarozzi fork brace, Vance and Hines pipe, hand jetted the carbs (still fine tuning that..sheesh) Stainless brake lines, EBC pads, rebuilt the top end of the motor and she's lowered an inch in the front, bout .5 inch in the rear. Eventually, probably THIS winter, the electrics will all be hidden under the seat box, I may be adding velocity stacks, clipon bars, drilled rotors, rearsets, once i can fab a kicker arm that wont hit the rear brake pedal on the rearsets, and possibly 850 jugs and pistons.


                how many layers of glass did you use for your seat? I have 5 layers on the flat part of my seat and 4 on the hump but it doesnt seem thick enough.




                looks sharp BTW!

                  Do you have a pad on that seat yet? I see you signed up to ride this to SWOKZ. That might be a little rough on bare glass. Can't wait to see it.

                      isleoman, color me green with envy. I did very similar mods to my 80 1100 but it looks no where near as clean as yours. Bravo sir

                          I got those risers from a company that was selling on ebay for a short while. Apparently there are folks that stunt GSXRs and they made these to convert the clip ons to conventional bars.

                          I had to drill four holes in the top triple to make it work. I don't think that company is still around but if you Google "GSXR" and "STUNT" and "Risers" you may find something similar.
                          I had risers for a bit, but switched to clipons. No matter where you get the risers you're going to have to drill the triple as no GSXRs came with them. Suzuki SV650 and 1000s came with risers for 7/8s bars - I'm sure you can grab some off of ebay.

                            You'll never get a picture from me in this thread. There is some unbelievably impressive work here.

                              heres my 750:
                              (sorry about the pics, used my phone)





                              79 gs750e... put a vance & hines exhaust with k&n pod filters. getting the carbs worked in was a pain. painted the wheels seat and tank with spray can. modded up a mini tail light and switched to a single speedo from what was said to be a 78 750 but it only goes up to 80mph so i'm thinking it was a smaller bike. now im trying to hide the rest of the wires better and im searching for a spoked rear wheel to match the front one i already have, so if you have one let me know.
