The 80 gs1000 chopper build

It takes me a month to do that much work to my bike! Of course, it helps to know what you are doing first...
By the way, excellent work!!

Those tail lights are very sanitary. Nice job.

I picked them up at the bike show here in denver. Tops are amber turns. Bottoms are red brake. Im kicking myself in the ass now for not getting two more reds for tails. There LED and pretty bright.

I think im just gonna do a tail on the licence plate bracket oh well.

I like the looks of em too. Kinda like the old cadillacs

Vey nice work! But for te sake of safety please put some vertical supports between your swingarm and shaft tube to your upper rear drop outs. Your putting an LOT of stress on your rear housing bolts. Just a suggestion for safety sake

You know that's not a bad idea. Nice to see someone with constructive critasisum(?spellings hard?) instead of the usual bs.

Looks great! I would MUCH rather have that than my brothers' bike. He wanted to sell it to me, but I just never got into the ridgid bikes.( I like my butt and spine too much).

Here's his...

A pan head Sportster. I didn't think that was possible.

Good lookin ride but i think im hooked on jap bikes now. This is my third. By buddy just got himself a shovel head ridged. Seems to "mainstream" to me

[jmlcolorado]

Litttle photo update. Today is the first day this bike has started and ran on its own will for almost ten years!

Purrs like a kitten

Nice lookin scoot there man. We gotta hook ya up w/ some new pipes though...

[jmlcolorado]

INDEED! although cut up straight pipes sound pretty cool

Actually went out and rode it for a bit.
