    It's all good. I only wish I have the skills and tools to custom my GS like all of yours!

    Every single piece of fairing were either missing or broken, and instead of spending big money on new pieces I took them all off and had myself a little stickerbomb project .

      I reckon they're from a late 70's bonneville.

        They look like a set of Lester mags, my brother has an early Honda GL1000 that has a set on it.

                  Thanks for the comment.

                  I tried really hard to keep the lines of the bike. The rear frame to tail, the tank to nose lines and the height of the rear not overpowering the tank height.

                  I am really pleased with the outcome.

                    With the exception of the pods, and add some side covers, actually looks like it could have been a production bike like this. Nice bike.

                      Thanks. That was the look that I was going for, a production look. Kind of a "what if" thing.

                        I know you said you had more to do, maybe consider breaking up all the flat black look, repaint the engine half/half, some black some silver, maybe red accents on the wheels, might make the whole bike POP a little and stand out more.
                        But yeah, you achieved your goal for the most part, now ride the rubber off it.

                          Now that old_skool mentioned it, I also was thinking of perhaps white cam covers and ignition cover on that.
                          Along with the white side covers of course.

                            Yeah.. the engine is getting cleaned thouroly and getting a coat of fresh paint.. black lower, silver upper or silver lower and black upper.. not sure yet.. I AM riding the rubber off of it as well.

                              i thought of putting all of the electronics under the seat and doing the clean look through the battery area. Might be a good look too. Not sure...

                                I think the Stormtrooper look works pretty well for the bike, but the electronics do need to be covered.
