    That WAS a nice looking bike. Maybe it won't run because it is embarrassed how it looks now

    1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017:D

    I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

      You were bored? Like suicidal? So you destroyed a cool bike…meh
      How long could a person ride a bike like that anyway?
      That old full fairing was really cool, way better than a Windjammer.

            You may as well have cut the bike completely in half.

            It's that bad!

            The next time you get bored, cut your HANDS off!

              Lol! I was never a fan of how Japanese manufacturers tried to make their Harley-esque bikes of the 80s.

                  Man, tough crowd. It's your project OP and as long as you are happy with it then that's what matters. People seem to forget that's the entire point of motorcycling. Some people have different ways to achieve happiness, to each their own.

                    I disagree as it relates to bikes that make noise via loud mufflers. It doesn't matter if you like loud bikes, because the huge majority of people don't. And the ill will they create can have a negative affect on all bikers.

                      Yes, but watching someone try to ride something like this is so incredibly hilarious that even the worst haters will get a kick out of it. You may have to plug your ears to watch but it's zoo worthwhile for the laughter you get out of it. It's especially funny when they hit a bump and land with their full weight on the rear tire on their nads. Castration can be SOOOOOO comical.

                      I say hard tail it!

                            I once saw a guy riding a hardtail Hog on the turnpike. He hit an expansion joint and his bum came off the seat by nearly a foot..... It hurt my back just seeing it.

                                Saw one do the flying W a few years ago, he almost went over. Funniest thing I've seen in quite a while.
