                What do u guys think
                Was sitting for a while the 5 years ago the owner got it back running and has been riding it for the last 5 years

                GS1000 makes a poor cafe racer..... Maybe less cafe, and more Superbike.



                ...or for inspiration, this:

                    G-3, I would suggest two things to consider on your bike:
                    1. an inner rear fender of some sort to keep your rear tire from shooting dirt and crap right at your filters.
                    2. Rear sets wold make the riding position more natural and comfortable with the low bars

                                    maybe a temp or removable inner would be ok, I do want to do rear set, but it pretty comfy, think the bar raiser on the front so i could lower it made the piston more natural!

                                                The inner fender could be just a piece of sheet metal. It wouldn't even need to be that noticeable.
