Yeah I cut and shut the whole rear footpeg tubes and welded on a small bracket to attach the gsxr pegs too. Worked out pretty well

I have found some replacement alloy rims, 2.15x18 front, 3.5x17 rear. These are lighter than the OE steel rims and allow me to fit wider tyres.
I know this will change the steering geometry but the GSXR1100 forks and yokes have already done that, and I reckon that the fatter tyres will result in pretty similar diameter wheel/tyre combination anyway.
The seat has had new foam and been recovered, based on the old Guiliari seats that were made in the '70s
The paintwork was done by North East Customs in Hartlepool, nice job and reasonably priced. They will do original paintwork too.
I've been busy with other stuff recently and there is still lots to do: sort electrics and fit an uprated reg/rec, fabricate a new battery box, make spacers for front discs...Last edited by Druid; 05-24-2014, 03:01 PM.http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps06abce66.jpg

The seat looks great but we need the mock-up pic with the seat and tail on the bike to get the full effect.
The Heron-ish paint scheme is very nice.2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

Did you just mod the seat or is that a new seat? I love it.Comment

Just went over the whole thread. Very nice. Man, is this my kind of bike. No luggage racks, no windshield, no shaft drive, you even removed the engine guards and kick starter. Any plans on deleting the centerstand?
How about a video start up and walk around with sound?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

I did this video a couple of weeks ago, when I first ran the engine.
The centre stand made it easier to work on when I was building it, if I find it touches down too early then I'll remove it otherwise it stays because it's convenient. Kickstart is still there btw, but I can't use it because it fouls the footpeg/brake pedal.http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps06abce66.jpg
