check out the link for the full restoration. I appreciate all who helped with questions through this process. This was a fun project and my first vintage bike build.

Great job!
What front end and wheels did you use?

[Rijko]

Nice

Watched it twice, the rotating footpeg distracted me the first time around

Nice. Good on the brake upgrade as well.

Nice work.
Just noticed the polished rims. I like the contrast with the black spokes.

Love the sound of that Kerker !

My 2 favorite GS1000 exhausts are the Kerker and the first model Marshall Deeptone.

I had an early Marshall Deeptone 6-1 on a CBX and loved it.
Almost stock quiet until about 5000 rpm and then a full bodied bark.

Still lusting for a CBX, but they are collector items now,
as are the parts ..
getting really expensive to buy and restore where i live.

But yes, i remember the Marshall 6-1 for that bike. Beast.
Same thing for me as the GS1000 : low-rev it's the best deep grunt,
and that bark ... cool.

Way better sound than the Jama or Laser Deeptone.
