Oh Yeah! That is it. Excellent work.
Tell me. The rear shocks are ornamental aren't they? It looks like there is no room for travel between the tyre, guard and seat.
Very cool. It makes me want to build one but I have enough work to do as it is.

Do you have any closer picts of the bike? Looks nice and clean. The old emblem on the tank is a nice touch.

Originally posted by isleomanGuess we need to define done..... Got everything back together and it started on first try. All of the below was done after getting rear ended by PU.
-83 powder coated frame
-Powder Coated existing GSXR wheels
-Star Racing Head
-1166 Wiseco pistons
-Stan Gardner Crank
-Heavy duty clutch/Pressure plate and welded basket
-New Cam Motion Cams
-Ceramic Coated existing Yosh Header
- New battery box and Reg/Rec mounting plate
- New Wiring harness
Fired up the engine and found the upper case had a hairline crack that was weeping oil when it got warm. Never took it on the road. Crack developed near front motor mount from the truck rear ending me. Have sense gotten replacement cases with a nice tranny, should be painting them next week. Still need to pull engine back out and decide who I'm going to use to swap the cases. So yea I'm done, but doing it again....
Had re-used my old tranny and noticed when I got the engine back for re-assembly into frame that the splines were worn allowing the front sprocket to rotate a little more than you would like.
I'm kinda in a parts hunting mode myself but have not been able to get real motivated.

damn, she's a beaut, Isleoman. I had my 4-1 touch down in a long right hand sweeper. I'm new to riding my GS and rode dangerously wide into the opposite lane. If a car was coming the other way, I wouldn't be here today I've learned from it and won't be pushing its limits in unfamiliar territory anymore.
