Thanks for the kind words and the "stealth" look is exactly what i was going for just hope the blue stripes dont ruin that look

[akckhim]

Fitted the new 530 chain and sprockets last night and got the chain guard mounted. painted the chain guard today black of course




also got the gauges wired and working

[akckhim]

I got the sprocket spacing sorted and the painted chaingaurd done tonight

[GS650E_81]

Very nice bike

Do you remember how much carbon fiber vinyl you purchased to cover the tank? Also what brand?

I am looking to wrap my 81 650E tank.

[GateKeeper]

This was a very interesting build....glad I found it....

[akckhim]

Here are latest pics,almost done enough to ride i ordered clutch and rear brake hose today, got the forks filled and ready today and some loose ends tied up should have it ready to test ride saturday or sunday still have'nt got the stripe kit hopefully order that at end of the month

[6pkrunner]

Wow - its turning out real sweet. Love color combo with the carbon fiber.

[7981GS]

Beautiful!
Now, THAT is what I would call a "Street Fighter" look for a bike.
Not some pile of crap with parts hacked off of it.

Call me ignorant but what is that tan colored rod hanging off your left fork?

[cowboyup3371]

It's a steering damper

[akckhim]

Yes cowboy it is. Thanks for the kind words. I wish i had more in the budget for some suspension upgrades maybe next year. Cant wait to ride it. Should be about 150rwhp its gonna be very quick.

It's a steering damper

Ok that's what I thought it was but I couldnt see how it was hooked up. I looked closer and I can see it now. It just looked like it was hanging out there loose.

[akckhim]

my hoses showed up today had just enough time to put them on and check fit and they are great as always Spiegler makes high quality stuff. now off to work wishing i could stay home and get it ready for the first test ride, it looks like saturday evening i should be able to.
