    My other one

    Not a GS, it's a 75 (basically) GT550. This was a year long project. Powder coated frame and fork lowers. Fresh top end, cylinders and head bead blasted. Ram air shroud powder coated low gloss clear. Ancient Morris mag wheels. Swing arm and rear brake from an 80 GS750. Progressive shocks. Rear brake adapter (MC) all hand fabricated.
    Stock tank with emblem recesses filled. Aftermarket glass seat, front fender and turn signals. Expansion chambers are painted with Dupli-color high temp black. It's a screamer, but won't hold a candle to my GS1000.
    Winner of People's Choice award at local vintage meet.

              A rear fender and a tail piece/brake from a GS650 would finish that well IMHO.
