GS650 custom chop/bob whatever

[silverkrown]

So my bike is pretty much finished, at least for now. Just got doing the new paint and making the new seat. Been working on it for about a year and a half. This site has been an amazing resource during the course of building this thing.

Agreed, very nice work.
How do you operate the lights or are they on all the time? Ignition, kill switch?

Over the winter I re-wired the bike and removed anything that wasn't necessary. No tach or speedo. I installed a new barrel ignition key switch which you can see in the pic under the seat. The kill switch, push button start and hi-low beam switch are all mounted in front of the gas tank, right by the neck.

Not my style of bike, but it looks incredibly well-done.

Tight! I dig the paint.
First time I've seen a sporty tank look good on a frame with the weird "W" backbone.

ho.... ly.... ****.

makes mine look like it came out of a swamp.

I love the custom details of the ignition key and electrics on the side, a really nice touch. If I have the energy for it with my own project I would like to steal your idea. It is that kind of simplicity that I am looking for Inspirational!!

How does it run with those pod filters? Did you use a Dynojet kit or sort it through yourself?

Interesting bike. Just one question - how does the tach and speedo fall into the 'not important' category?

The words 'speeding ticket' come to mind.

If you need a speedo to worry about a ticket yur either riding like a squid or you don't have any experience.. The word "dumbass " comes to mind. I have NEVER gotten a speding ticket on a cycle A tach is simply another guage to watch, anybody who has rode a bike for very long can judge their engine speed without a tach regardless of the bike.. NICE BUILD!!!!! WTF is a TACH or SPEEDO !!!!!

Where did you get the barrel key ignition from?

Whatever!!! If you can gauge your speed at all times without a speedo you're a better man than I.
