2-Cylinder Photos - Post Yours!

Here is the exact 1979 425L I drove in high school, got it from my dad with almost no miles. I am hoping to keep it as stock as possible...but the bars are not my favorite, who knows. One of the side covers is cracked so hope I can find an exact replacement!

mine

Had this one for a while. Going to swap out the bars, get some shorter turn signals and maybe black out the chrome. I have removed the rack and windshield.

Nice one Zeebob, good lookin' 425 you got there!

here's mine...

She's a '79 GS425E and a work in progress. Got her from a local guy for $400 and plan to register and ride this year. My first bike really. Pulls real nice...

Awesome, cheers for that, I will take note...

Any pic's of what you actually did with the dremel?

yes, shimmed the needles, has to take my dremel to the "needle Holder" to taper it Right,
pilots-17.5-->25
Mains 115---->155

Oh, and what jets are you using with the stacks and no baffles and did you shim your needles?

[pete]

Is it just me or does the rear end of that look out of proportion height wise with the front?

Either way, I love it

Heres my 1980 GS450L

Im running it with velocity stacks and 2 into 1 MAC exhaust with no baffles, and its fast as heck!

great photos everybody !


here are my two 450A's... not new pics, but what I have at the moment :

Not Sure on the headlight.....I know its a 7" Round bucket on ears...... Came with the bike. If you look you see my GPS lol.....The exhaust is a 2 into 1 with no muffler....Straight dump near the brake pedal....Im glad you think it looks good.... She will be better soon. If you want closer pics I'll pm you some Pete.

Cheers for that, any markings on the light you can see? I need to replace mine before I get it on the road as the plastic housing for the bulb has worn and it used to pop out while riding, leaving my headlight focussed about 5 feet in front of the bike. Would really like to get a H4 style replacement.

How did you go with jetting for the no muffler? And I'm assuming you have pods there too?

Edit: Actually, feel free to answer these over in your project thread, probably a little more appropriate over there

Must be loud as heck with no muffler......guessing it's a MAC 2-1 exhaust? Looks good man, glad to hear ya got to take it for a spin.
