Post a picture of your custom GS

Let's see if I get this picture right.........

Some of you might remember my bike as the "mystery bike" from about a year ago....last winter I decided to do the GSXR conversion--No Regrets!--

before and after,
77 750e been working on it a few months. got it running sweet thanks to this forum, want to go with some clip ons, need to rebuild the forks and not so sure about the silver paint

Nicely done! Very clean minimalistic lines; what a cafe should be.

What Russ said, NEED MOAR PICS! This is an excellent restoration. I like how easy it is to reuse the E tail for a cafe conversion. The GS series are definitely understated in custom motorcycle building.

thanks guys for the compliments. its my first GS, have done a couple of CB's in the past. All the wiring is under the seat, some shorty cheapo muffs, have to get a speedo and wire up some warning lights. Battery is a real small AGM mounted where the center stand use to be, have to clean the overspray off the rear rim, do some detailing yet. I made my own steel seat pan and had it covered by a pro for 75$, turned out real nice. I put a add up for some of the parts that came off it, bags, vetter. I have alot of the stock parts off it and anyone that can use them can have them, thanks again, Daniel

Agreed, very nice cafe.

Agreed, very nice and understaded, tastfully done, just a quick question.
Without the front mud gaurd, how are you bracing the forks, the standard GS fork brace is intergral as part of the mud gaurd?
Or is there an after market fork brace on there that I have missed, I would suggest one, otherwise those forks are going to "walk" like a pig.

No fork braces built into the guards on the older GS's. I doubt that the light pressed steel guards add any rigidity to the old noodles so probably no different on or off. I don't have a aftermarket fork brace on mine......... yet so she moves all over the place when pushing on.

Working on the front fender, got some good ideas on the shape after i cut it down alittle. Didnt honestly think about the added strength, but the fender is kinda beefy and make sense that it would help. I have always added fork braces to my xr400's and they were worth the money. Thanks for the help, Daniel

If you get someone to make an ovals to round adapter LMK, I may be in for one too. Maybe something from the two ovals to a single large oval that a common K&N will fit.

Will do. I just ordered 2 39mm pods from ebay for cheap ($5.40) and have an idea that I'm going to try when they get here. If it works I'll let you know. Fingers crossed.
