    heres my 1981 gs550l

    I bought it from a friend that didnt get to finish the build before he moved away. heres some pics let me know what you think. i think i might make it a cafe look over the winter. it was a project to get it running so im gonna enjoy over the summer then tear it about once winter rolls around. I might go back to the stock tank. cafe seat. or just make a full on bobbber im not to sure yet.

    heres how it looked when i brought it home. he put smaller rear shocks. and a different gas tank.



    heres how she sits now. my plans over the winter are to change the seat and some small things.

    You realize he went from an already small gas tank to almost nothing at all? I'd start looking for a new one to at least give you some distance.

        Your tank/seat combination are cracking me up, but you know, it's got character. Easy Rider meets old school sports hybrid. Good job on getting it running and making it work.

          Meh, it's an L.
          They sell hacksaws at Walmart.

            proper tank would make a better look. The gold carb tops are an unfortunate turn of events. Look, i'm crazy I like side covers and fenders. I am glad you kept some type of fender on there.
