    81 gs650 - r

    Coming along nicely. It got it running and running well - this thing is much quicker than I expected! I like it!!! Did all the safety checks and began taking down, changing over what I wanted. And the fun began. Everything has been going relatively smooth. Moved the rear tail forward with a few mods, 91 FZR600 Rear wheel/ Front-end. Bolted right in - who would have thought? Serious upgrade to front end and got the look I'm going for. Conflicted about fairing right now - that can wait. Need to disassemble and paint frame/ swingarm. Wish I could upload more pcitures.

      The trick to "more pictures" is ... don't upload them. At least not as attachments on this site.

      You need a picture hosting site, like Photo Bucket or Image Shack, upload your pictures there, then just copy the IMG link and paste that in your message. You can put up to 10 pictures per post that way.

          Looks like this worked. Not sure if it is what you suggested, but I could not get them to attach for the life of me about an hour ago. Thanks!!

            Hit enter a couple of times between each picture to put some decent spacing in there. Otherwise, good looking pictures so far.

                      Bike is making nice progress, still need to hit the ENTER key twice between picture links, though.

                        Saw this bike in person. It's going to be good!

                          Sorry about that, I'm an idiot. I read how to post about 10 times too. Now I have the fever, I want to work on this thing 24/7. I swore I would take my time, snow is still on the ground. Added wheels overnight.

                            Next time I take pictures it will be painted. Want to ride for a little bit as is, double check - then paint last.

                              Looking good.

                              Have you given thought to modifying the tank and going with something a little lower profile?

                              Those pipes should sell quickly if they are in as good of shape as they look, and you decide to go to a 4:1.
