New from FL

[Guest]

Hello all, name is John out of central FL area. Recently purchased a partially "bobbed" outed GS1100 in run down condition. This will be a project a buddy and I will be building together out of his garage. I have a strong mechanical background, fairly new to welding but learning very quickly, teaching my buddy as we go. Plans for the bike are hardtail, thinking Z bars, sportster tank, clean up the wiring, simple clean paint. Look forward to the knowledge you all present! Here is the bike day we got it

Poor thing definitely needs some love.

I agree and she is in good hands. She went under the knife last night and trimmed off the tail section for a proper hardtail. Pics will be posted in build section soon.

I didn't know that there was such a thing.

Pictures would definitely be nice.

Welcome, and all would like to see the progress of the build to completion. Great that builders can save some bikes from the "parts" bin.

No there isnt really such thing as a proper hardtail, but better than what the previous owner did by just removing the shocks and drilling some holes through some square tube and bolting it on. Looked horrible.
