Gs1000g, take two.

Only you can answer that. I messed up my back when I was 18 working at Disney. I lifted a big CO2 tank wrong and has been an on and off issue the rest of my life. I still have my TENS unit, but haven't used that in decades. I found out Ibuprofen works just as well. I recently have been receiving joint pains. First Bursitis in my left elbow and later this morning I'm going to get my left knee x-rayed. The last few week it been sore and feeling like it's going to blow out. It may also be Bursitis but I had a physical last week and my doc said she didn't feel anything, but wanted me to get an x-ray if it gets worse, well........

Try a few Ibuprofen to see how it works relieving you back pain. You may have to try different things, like Tylenol or Alieve to see what works for you. Tylenol is my go to for headaches and Alieve doesn't do anything for me, but we are all different. What works for me may not be what works best for you. I don't like taking anything, but sometimes we all need a little help to get you though the day.

Brandon, looky what I just did....an 18" aluminum rim on my shaft drive hub....the GS1000G is going to wire spoked wheels!20181108_133009.jpg

...and I will most likely carch crap for this one, but those rims are off a 78 GS1000E....oem aluminum rims as I've found out.
...750s got steel rims...?!

This almost made me work on my bike this past weekend. Been so busy with the other project, and the baby prep. Fear not, im a horder so the bike wont get sold off.

I keep building it, and rebuilding it in my head..
I have the vision for it like a normal person vision, not half cafe. Just need to proceed with the work

[thebrandonbeezy]

I feel like tires with white lettering would look awesome on those spoked rims!!!!

[thebrandonbeezy]

Will that be drum brake?

[thebrandonbeezy]

A change in direction.... sorta

The bike is basically held together with zipties right now because it was/is stripped. So, i like the fairing now. Always hated vetters, but there was a kz1300 posted on butchered classics Facebook, with a similar style oe fairing lowered slightly with a shortened windscreen, and it got me going on this idea pretty bad. Its about 4 inches lower than normal, i plan to go a tad lower in the rear. Maybe front and rear i dont know yet. I picked up a set of 1100gk triples (41mm) and will be doing the katana fork swap again, with the kat front wheel and vx800 rear wheel. Now theres a kat in my garage right now and top of the tire measures roughly 3.250 in shorter than the top of the fender on the gs set up (ground to top). So that gives me room to lower the fairing a bit more. Notice the clipons are gone and superbike bars are installed. I'm also considering some used gsxr rearsets mounted just north of the factory position. We'll see. Lifes good.

Heres another shot.

You are going to have to get REAL creative trying to align the headlight at that angle.

[thebrandonbeezy]

I had the same thoughts. Probably will have to lower the rear of the fairing. The lower it goes the more i like it

[gsrick]

The Vetter has an adjustment, but not that much and adjustment. I remember when I first put the Vetter on SuzyII, I had thought of modifyinf it to a duel headlight similar to what some of the late model H-D's has. I had thought about grafting and eye lid over a set of sideways mounted 58 Chevy Apache truck or Impala headlights as both are symmetrical. Then I got the Pacifico faring and had thoughts of the same thing, but still haven't done it.

I have a Focus also.

[thebrandonbeezy]

I was looking at it some more tonight, ill definantly need to lower the rear down to get the head light where it needs to be.
i love dual headlights, someone posted a gs with a modified early gsxr fairing (just the top section) it looked at home. And of course the dual headlights looked killer.

i love the focus, its a 2014 ST3. So far its been super dependable!

[gsrick]

Brandon, post a pic of what's inspiring you.

[thebrandonbeezy]

3 bikes for the most part, i have pictures of 2, the third will take some time to find. I think it was 3rd party by photobucket and i can never find it now.

Ill try to get them posted at lunch
