GS850 Trike

This is the rear end of my GS850 trike.

The back axle is from a Reliant Robin car the wheels are 17 inch retro style TSW's with 205x50 tyres.
The axle comes with drum brakes as standard but I have converted the axle to run disc brakes with the calipers from a Golf GTi.
The handbrake is cable operated on the calipers and is tucked away behind the left side footrest.

The exhaust is standard to the rider footpegs then customised to run up under the seat, finished with a car back box with an oval finisher, to mirror the shape of the tail light.

The rear lights are replica Ford Popular running ,stop and indicator combined.

The shocks were changed for 11" Harley ones to keep the ride height.

Standard apart from that !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the help given on this site.

If anyone is visiting England, and you are coming this way, feel free to contact me and perhaps have a blast on her?

Trike is called Miss Behaving 2.

Cheers,

Bozza.

Very nice. Is the rear end gearing much different from the stock final drive?

[kruns]

Looks Great! What kind of tank is that, and how did you get it to fit?

to fit the tank, which is from hd sportster, frame had to be modified

Kev- Looks good. Love the way all the lights flow together.

Here are my 2 toys.

The green one is my 79 850G and the white one is my 82 850G.

Thanks man. Really diggin yours too.

This is my GS1000. GSX1100EZ engine and carbs,pod filters, koni shocks, metmachex swinging arm,braided brake hoses and Katana front calipers and discs,Peugot car colour. hope you like it more than the classic brigade over here, last comment was "what a f%^*ing abortion" ah well. Johnny

[Dogma]

Looks like a great idea to me. The most comfortable frame with the most motor. Your skeptics must be masking their envy. One might question the color, but it's not bad at all.

Does the frame twist a bit when you get on the throttle?

[Johnny Drummond]

hi Dogma, Thanks for the positive comment,not that I've ever noticed, but I'm usually just trying to not get my arms dislocated!, seriously I think that the heavily braced swinging arm helps a lot I also have a Micron fork brace fitted as well(from my parts donor bike)
, the bike that I have for parts has the swinging arm from a GSX1100ET(GS1100EX for you in the states) fitted, I seem to remember from years ago that this was a common upgrade along with the Koni shocks to tame any waywardness. The paint colour looks better in the metal as its a pearlescent and photos flatten it out.Johnny

Jonny, I think you'll find quite a few folks on the forum here would appreciate a GS mod like that (engine transplant). The guys at Old Skool Suzuki would, too, I think. I certainly like it!

[AF_Bill]

I just realized that in my post I said the white bike is an 82 850. She's actually a 650g. Sorry if i confused anyone.

Johnny- looks great and porbably tons of fun to ride. Color is beautiful too.

[DMorris]

Johnny, I like it! Not a show bike but a fine example of the hot rodder's art.

What pipe are you running?

[Johnny Drummond]

Hi Bill, the exhaust is from an English company called MOTAD,they make aftermarket exhausts for lots of Jap,Euro& English bikes.This is the type to fit a GS1000 but it fits straight on,I like this brand as you don't have to re-jet to suit it, I am going to have to replace it wen finances allow as it cracked all round the weld between the collector and the end can.Yeah I know that it isn't a show class bike or even that clean! but this is what it looked like 13 years ago when I bought it.Johnny

[Johnny Drummond]

Oops, sorry D, got your name wrong!my 19 month old was trying to get me to play and I rushed the reply-sorry!

[Bad Kaw]
