Sneak Peek....Project "Greenhorn" GS850Gl Cafe
I couldn't resist calling this build project "greenhorn" ...thanks Chuck for the idea LOL. Kinda stuck with me after my rocky intro onto this forum. I would like to thank everyone for the advice as I've dug into this former really rough machine. Not quite finished yet.....still got the finishing touches and wiring to complete.

GS Cafe
The bars are clip ons that I purchased off ebay. They are not extremely good quality, but for a budget cafe build are quite acceptable. The bike pics don't due the bike justice. I have to get it out this coming week for some better shots. Most are surprised when I tell them it is an 82.
The side covers where made out of stainless stove burner covers. They were an idea to replicate number plates. I am not very fond of them after going with black paint so they will be replaced with fabricated side covers to hide the battery.
I ran the bike for a while after the re-tap, and addition of new stud with j/b weld surrounding the threads. After a couple hundred miles, no evidence of any issue. Long term, if it fails I will pull the head. At this point, I think I have it licked.
Just gotta finish the new wiring harness and I will get better pics up. The pics just don't flatter the finish.
