Before and after.

Want to sell the old bodywork?

Don't listen to the naysayers. Looks great. These aren't rare bikes, and why have one that looks exactly like every other one.

Give your self a kick

Really? Why should he "kick" himself for having different taste than you, i suppose we should all just like everything the same right. Shame on u for slagging someone elses work

Not quite to my taste, but looks neat, tidy and roadworthy. I think the seat and exhaust noise would become tiresome quite quickly. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

Looks really great ,,well done!! Brian

Sick bike bro!

Personally, I wish you had used a Honda...But I do like what you did to the countershaft sprocket cover. I also think your Firestone tires are cool. I'm sure it's fun to blast around on.

great work, im doing a gs550 up at the moment and if i can get it to look as good as yours id be a very happy man.

[Cassius086]

That's some nice work! I like it!

[GSJones]

Thank you for comments.

GS was fun to ride before, but now it's a blast. Replacing rear sprocket with 45T helped so much with gearing this 6 speed and cleaning up the extra weight and updates make it ride like a completely different bike.

Hear hear! As long as the workmanship is good (like it appears to be in this case!) there is no reason to send out those negative vibes.
Good work on this one Jones.

What did you do to your exhaust? Are they the stock ones just cut down?
I'm having some trouble trying to decide what to do with mine right now and those don't look to bad.

kimjay - stock exhaust cut down.
Did have to drill a couple holes underneath to help reduce backfire and welded in perforated sheet so nothing gets in. Pipes are loud, but sounds great!
