Post a picture of your custom GS

[midnightcafe]

Here's my '79 GS750L. YES, it is an L model, say what you want about it but I think I did a good job de-L'ing it for a substantial riding improvement-superbike bars, one off seat and rearset fabrication, rejetted to 125 main's, APE filters, MAC 4-1 exhaust. Still under 9k miles





^That's me after a 180 mile ride from school in Schenectady, NY back home at Medfield, MA. The new 530 sprockets are geared more for acceleration and resulted in much more vibration at highway speeds. Not to mention the MDI shocks are like struts and the seat I fabricated I haven't finished... it only has neoprene foam which is okay for riding around town but feels like concrete after an hour on the road. I couldn't feel my A$$ for days!
Edit: some before pictures for comparison...

AWESOME looking bike, Midnight!

Only thing that I would change...put the L'bars back on!

Nice work!

[ChicagoBob]

Great job! Love the engine finishes and the rearsets.

haha just think of the aerodynamic drag on a 1/4 mile, probably lucky to get a 30 second ET

i had a 1/4 mile shoot out with a ninja 750 and yes i barley beet him he was faster off the line but i caught him and passed him by a tire not bad for having so much aerodynamic drag

Cool trike. Any chance of some more shots on that under tail exhaust? Not seen that before on a GS.

Chris, that trike is interesting! Can you make a build thread about it? I'd love to hear how you set it up. -Emmet

Exploited789: You may not have a lot of heavy mods, but that's a pretty well done theme. Nice work.
Midnightcafe: THAT is an amazing transformation! There oughta be some reward for turning that bike into THAT bike! Nicely done, sir ... very nicely done!

Nice job..I like the flat black paint..and the breather out the left side is a nice "gearhead" type touch.
