    When I first got my L it was quite uncomfortable. I'm 6'1 and my arms and legs didn't have enough room. I couldn't extend my arms far enough out. Changed the bars to gs750 bars, put on a G tanks which pushed back the seat to give me more room. It was kind of a hassle to figure out the mounting of the G tank and getting the seat mounted farther back on the frame, but it was worth it. Now it is very comfortable.

      Posted some of my 81 550 just pulled out of buddies barn and in need of work. now here is my rider, 81 750. Poor bike. If i was road as hard as it is i would have a even bigger smile.



      I have the sissy bar that goes with KG rack and crash bars just not installed now. the crash bars will go back on for fall time as too many deer around the roads i like best.

          Have you got a close up of the chick throwing lightning bolts?

          I think I know her.

                    Definitely not my style of bike, but I have to agree with you.

                    I am noticing details, like having the license plate curved over the rear caliper.

                      Hey Camero...How are those rear shocks? I saw them on e bay, obviously they are sharp looking, but hows the quality/performance?
                      Surprisingly low cost.....had me curious if they were any good.
                      btw....very nicely done bike. good taste, well executed.

                        Thanks guys. The shocks are pretty good. I'm happy with them. Way better than the worn out stockers and cool looking too.

                          Here's my 82 GS850GLZ. I rescued it from the squirrels and spiders where it sat in a hardwood thicket for 4 years. It runs great but still needs the failed liner cleaned from the original tank. Using an older tank for now. The handlebars were the first things I swapped out. It'll be up for sale soon.
