my 79 gs-850

im normally into large custom cruiser bikes / chops etc , but i picked up this 79 gs-850 not so long ago and cleaned it up , done some repairs and mot'd it and i have to admit that im very impressed with it , it handles great , its smoothe , reliable and looks good too.


powdercoated frame, matching wheels, engine bars, s/s brake lines, harris 4 into 1 exhaust , new tyres and all new seals and its now in daily use .

NO, this is NOT my bike...but this thing is SICK (in a good way) !!!!

Surfing the web , I stumbled upon this bike a guy made in europe. To tell you the truth, my pants were wet after I saw it.

If anyone knows where I can find the same exact seat he's got, please let me know.

Sorry That wont work; saying it is red but no new photo. Get to work posting that new pic .

The exhaust looks great; Did the can just slip onto the mid pipe?

thats a factory exh off a stock bike isnt it?? im guessing because of the tight clearences, looks nice whats it off of?

pretty bad v&h /muzzy ect... couldnt put 2x2 together and make a better product, most aftermarket headders are dented because there made with pipes stacked instead of side beside

I parked the bike for the season last week which means time to continue my idea of improvements. Biggest things on my list is the seat and rearsets. I chopped off all the mounting tabs and mocked up the new seat, now I just need to shorten the frame a bit, box it and make new mounts. I could never decide on a café type fiberglass seat. This ‘70s Suzuki flat seat ended up being exactly what I wanted but never thought I’d find. It’s literally like new and I paid all of $20 for it.



I’ll probably make my own LED taillight or modify something premade with additional LEDs. I want it bright, very bright.

I got my seat from these guys! Hotwing Glass. Good quality Fiberglass. This particular seat looks VERY close. It's the same style. They have a few options.

The bates2 seat here could also be a very good match!

That looks like a nice match up from that angle. What's it look like from the side?

If your question was meant for me it's a Hindle header and midpipe with a Yosh RS3 can. The pipe was meant for a first generation GSX-R 750. I had a Yosh Duplex on the bike previously that was meant for the last of the oil cooled 750's and it was a much tighter fit under the sump. The Hindle gives me much more ground clearance than the Yosh.
