    my 79 gs-850

    im normally into large custom cruiser bikes / chops etc , but i picked up this 79 gs-850 not so long ago and cleaned it up , done some repairs and mot'd it and i have to admit that im very impressed with it , it handles great , its smoothe , reliable and looks good too.


    powdercoated frame, matching wheels, engine bars, s/s brake lines, harris 4 into 1 exhaust , new tyres and all new seals and its now in daily use .

      NO, this is NOT my bike...but this thing is SICK (in a good way) !!!!

      Surfing the web , I stumbled upon this bike a guy made in europe. To tell you the truth, my pants were wet after I saw it.

      If anyone knows where I can find the same exact seat he's got, please let me know.

          The exhaust looks great; Did the can just slip onto the mid pipe?



          thats a factory exh off a stock bike isnt it?? im guessing because of the tight clearences, looks nice whats it off of?

          pretty bad v&h /muzzy ect... couldnt put 2x2 together and make a better product, most aftermarket headders are dented because there made with pipes stacked instead of side beside

            Haven’t posted here in forever…

            I parked the bike for the season last week which means time to continue my idea of improvements. Biggest things on my list is the seat and rearsets. I chopped off all the mounting tabs and mocked up the new seat, now I just need to shorten the frame a bit, box it and make new mounts. I could never decide on a café type fiberglass seat. This ‘70s Suzuki flat seat ended up being exactly what I wanted but never thought I’d find. It’s literally like new and I paid all of $20 for it.



            I’ll probably make my own LED taillight or modify something premade with additional LEDs. I want it bright, very bright.

              I got my seat from these guys! Hotwing Glass. Good quality Fiberglass. This particular seat looks VERY close. It's the same style. They have a few options.





              The bates2 seat here could also be a very good match!


              Good luck!

                That looks like a nice match up from that angle. What's it look like from the side?

                    looseseal, that is just one bad looking bike. just tough looking but with class. the seat is perfect and for twenty bucks!? makes it even more perfect.

                        If your question was meant for me it's a Hindle header and midpipe with a Yosh RS3 can. The pipe was meant for a first generation GSX-R 750. I had a Yosh Duplex on the bike previously that was meant for the last of the oil cooled 750's and it was a much tighter fit under the sump. The Hindle gives me much more ground clearance than the Yosh.

                                Got the stance nailed! Sawzalls can be yer freind... Commence the hacking, with pics, if ya could be so kind. Members here LOVE seeing a bike go under the blade.

                                Start a thread though of what yer doing.
