Almost Finished
I needed to sweep up the shop yesterday, so I rolled the 750 into the yard. It's almost finished. I need to figure out some adapter plates for the GSXR rearsets, chain and sprockets, exhaust hanger, and a few other tidbits.

Nicely done. I'm not a big fan of the street fighter type fairings with dual headlights but yours seems to fit nicely enough. I really like your stripe job.
I think a custom seat would be an interesting touch.

Thank you! I have a couple other cans floating around, so the exhaust will probably change. The header I think is a MAC and was on it when I got the bike 6 years ago, but it gets the job done until I find a better one. I tried a sidewinder, but it wont clear the frame. I'll build a custom seat for it eventually, but the one on it now is an original piece with no tears and no rust on the pan. I just can't bring myself to destroy it

Digging the paint, 81. Does a good job of making the clunky stock gauges work with the rest of the bike.

Seat takes tons off actually. Ride is WAY better than the scissor spring seat on a rigid shovel I had. Foam is also ~2 inches think and the bump stop piece not pictured is ~1/2 inch. My feet are also right under me so I can stand up for slow rolling rough stuff, or if I get launched I don't come down hard. I honestly think my triumph america(w/ swing arm still) hits me harder just because of the forward controls on it. The catch 22 being my knees are a little tight on this ride so I feel it in my bad one after a while. Will make some hwy pegs coming off the front engine mounts... eventually

My work in progress
I took a couple of pics for motivation, I've been waiting for a long time for funds to get started, slowly gettin there. Work conditions are what they are, under a pole barn with my fathers extra junk around, but hey it's a cover.Last edited by Guest; 02-14-2011, 07:10 PM.

my first actual bike/build 1980 gs1000, wanted to make it my style so took out the grinder and started hacking. Just got new airbrushing on the tank of POW MIA Flag looks pretty decent. Got some work to do though to get it running up to par.
