    I like it, it has a good clean line look to it.

      That shortened stock seat is exactly what I've been considering for the 550/700 hybrid.
      Looks very nice, got pics of the frame mods to do it?

        I like it. Usually, the chopped/bobbed/cafe look does not do much for me, but the lines really flow on that one.

          it looks like a flat tracker a$$ end.
          doesn't get any cooler than a street/flaT tracker type of bike.

            if your realy interested i can pull back end off and show you mods , seat is stock pan cut in half and slide together so you still use stock front mount and stock locking rear latch

                  I would leave the fairing off & get a set of small aftermarket gauges to finish it off if it was mine!

                  Don't agree with the 17" wheel comment either, the bigger front wheel suits it.

                    i have a nice set of round tach and speedo from a gs1000 to put on it , think it will look real nice with out big gauge cluster and i realy dont think fairing is going on it ( it just does not look right )

                        I think it looks great just the way it is, it still has that look as if it could be a factory design. The only thing I would do differently is put much smaller turn signals on it, the rear have already been removed but the front are still the huge signals. It would look great with smaller signals, just my opinion.

                          Hey Sonny,
                          Would you let me know what you looking to get for these? I have a 1980 GS1100E with a square light that I'm looking to mod-up to round light and round gauges. Considering a few setups, not in a hurry..
                          Would you have a round big head light around too? Please let me know, p.m. if you want

                            I like it, you cut the frame and removed the small palstic sides then blended in the line.

                            Clever!

                              Take the front & rear pegs off and put on rear sets.
