1983 GS750E- Retro Rocket Build

[Busafied]

Done for now, will ride it this year not doing anything else except that this year
Took it out for a test run / shake down ride.
She did well until my left side panel tried to come off...
But we made it back home, have to figure out something to keep it on since the tab ran away..
The bike sets at 60" WB now.
Two things I just remembered I have to do lol
Install the Steering Damper, install the horns again.











finally the can shot..

How did you mount the fairing? Looks pretty good.... Can we have some more pics?

Well I need to adjust/tune the suspension for this bike, it's too stiff at this moment, but I am happy with it as a whole the braking is phenomenal.

I used a "COMPLETE" 1987 GSXR setup the lights and bracket were off one of my old GSXR750's the fairing skin & screen was from my 87 GSXR1100.
I welded a tab on the neck of my GS frame to accept the top mount of the headlight bracket.
Made two 3" extension pcs for the bottom bracket, tapped the frame spars and bolted it on the sides.

At the top I made some flat bar-stock out of 1.5"angle and bent it into the shape of the fairing upper and welded tabs to mount the upper to the headlight bracket.
I don't measure too much I usually bend and weld to fit using my eye as the guide.
The mirrors I installed are off a mid nineties (1996) GSXR.
I chose them over the old skool GSXR mirrors, because I like seeing past my elbows.

I have the Hi/Low HID setup waiting to be installed as well I forgot about those too lol.

So Steering damper, horns, hid's {{{argh}}} lol

Anything else just ask-
Peace,
Ron

Thanks!
I am happy with the results, and some tweaking here and there she should be awesome.

The new muffler location WORKS!!! The can you had before just did NOT look right on that bike so high up & far back! I like it much better now! The GSXR fairing, not so much. Maybe just because it seems to me to be too high up. Nice bike! Just MY opinions, don't be insulted. Ray.

It's all good Ray, was waiting on a member of Sh.org for a later model Gixxer 1k can but he flaked out on me..
So I made that setup there from a blown out V&H off my Katana 1100.
Chopped off the blown end and rebuilt the center, then chopped the exhaust flange and tube down to fit.
The GSXR fairing is a so so affair, until I find something better (which I have an idea using a Katana Electric Windscreen assembly I have on the shelf.)

Thanks for the opinions and feedback I need it.

Great write up and definitely a lot of work. My only criticism is that the way the bottom of the fairing doesn't match the rest of the lines of the bike is visually annoying. I like the dual headlights and upper section of the fairing.

SEE! That's what I am talking about, Thanks-
I was trying to figure ou the area that kept making the fairing BLAH..
You hit on it THANK YOU!

I have some old mismatched side fairings off some old skool zukes, let me see if I can do anything about it, I see it now ty again.

[salty_monk]

That bottom side part looks like it's meant to join to something that's missing, maybe just needs a trim to get the right shape and angles to match it up.
Also looks a smidge low to me too.
