Very tasty sir. Looks like it is coming along nicely. What are you working with ? 1100? What year? Suspension & wheels? Do tell. ( Sorry didn't see the details in your signature 80/1100)

What do you have in mind for the bodywork?

There are some really nice looking refurbs and conversions come down the pipe these days and it looks like yours will be one of the next ones.

Looking forward to seeing how she turns out.

Good luck with it.

Cheers,

+ 1, are those OEM bars? They look to have a comfortable angle to them.

It's 1980 gs1100 or at least it was when I started. Front end is 92? gsxr, top triple drilled and risers installed so I can use comfortable bars, Bandit gauges, swingarm.
I am going to keep it stock looking because I like the look but everything else will be updated.

OK I picked up on a few details:

Bandit Clocks (look nice).

Bandit swinger (still working on that I see).

Are those 18" wheels, they don't look like 17" . The 18" give a bit better clearance.

The forks look to be 1st Gen GSXR hopefully they are 86-88 1100 (about 32.25" long top to center of axle). What axles you running up front? the 86 had 15" and the 87-88 are 17".

What sprocket carrier is that GS ? Look like 5 bolt. Give details on spacer/sprocket offsets once you have it figured out.

Nice rear sets; looked to be modified 1st Gen GSXR 1100 units (the 1100 had the embedded rubber in the pegs).

I know it can be challenging to sort it all out, but it is worth the effort if you are looking for a stock upgrade that stays with the feel of the older bike.
