    A little bit more progress. The seat is in primer at the moment and needs upholstry. But I liked the way it looks in this pic so I thought I'd post it.

      On the road again...

      I thought I had posted a bunch of pictures of my bike on this thread before, but I can't find any in here. Anyway, after a long rest while I rebuilt the top end (twice) to fix a leaking head gasket due to the old "lack of little o-ring washer thingies", my very orange and very carbon fiber GS1000 is back together and running great. I think I have a bunch of other pictures on the board here if you feel inclined to search. Lots of really neat bikes here, congrats to everyone on a nice job.

          the jockey shift is stops about the bottom of the tank and has a heavier clutch lever and cable (apparently stock isn't very good for a jockey shift)

            Unfortunately i never took any before pictures of my bike, i basically got it home and immediately began ripping it apart, without thinking about even snapping a quick pic on my phone or something, but, it was pretty much a bone stock 81 Gs1100 when i got it and this is where i am at now with it, supertrap 4 into 1 exhaust, K&N pod Filters, clubman bars, new headlight and gauges, and of course there has been a lot of stripping things down, moving/removing, rerouting/rewiring, i rattled canned the wheels and the gas tank, still lacking a seat, and i'd love to find some spoked wheels for it, she's coming right along i love riding her with or without a seat and she runs like a dream!

                Kats moved on a little since I last posted, at the moment I'm trying to get it running right.

                  Incredible! What's the exhaust consist of? I'm desperately trying to find something besides a Vance and Hines for my gs1100/gsxr conversion.

                    The pipe was made for me by a firm here in the UK.

                      What engine paint did you use?

                        It's funny you should ask as I have started a thread on the OSS site about this very subject.
                        It's PJ1 Yamaha silver case paint and while it looked great during the build up within a few minutes of starting the bike up it has turned gold on the cylinder head, really not what you need after a year of building a bike.
                        I have emailed PJ1 to see if they can offer any advice but the subject seems to be quite well known, so far I have not had a reply.

                        I am not impressed.

                            Here's Mine...Current and Past





                            I just got done with getting rid of the stock signals and rear fender/skirt. I kept all the stock parts to take the bike back to stock appearance if I want to someday for some weird reason. I like the way it looks this way. The rest of the mods are outlined in my signature.

                            Here's a shot of the new turn signals, which are plenty bright.



                            Here's the one I miss and wish I never sold:
