I think its the 450 S/E model tank

Yep. Over the winter I may try to fit up a GS850 tank and use the 450 tank on something else. Long story..........

My GS1000, still not done




And a GS1100GK

From this:



To this:




Seat is being redpainted to match the pinstriping on the tank. Just have to finish up a bunch of odds n ends and she'll be ready for the road

This is a 1980 gs1100 that I had intended to cafe but decided to do more of a brat style instead. Shortened the rear by 9 or 10 inches and shortened and narrowed the stock seat pan. Had a local shop do seat foam and cover. Other mods are a 7" round headlight, smaller gauges, turn signals and mx bars. This winter I plan to strip off all the unused wiring and paint it and powder coat a few parts. I have a stock air box I want to put back on too.

Ignore the dead cat in the upper left.

Sup orange cafe buddy?

Someone else here had an orange bike that piqued my interest. I also wanted to do something with a checker pattern. Indeed, I found the checker pattern method when cruising for orange cafe images for ideas. So my orange-checker scheme is pretty much a knock-off from the how-to info I found. That bike is much sexier though. Anyway, I am a terrible person.

My kickstarter is just a prop now, since the rearsets block the kick lever.

'78 GS550E work in progress...

Done a lot to this so far. Next job is to do the paint.

Nice work. What are those mirror patches on the tank? Are those indents or just some decals?

[brettwg]

heres mine

what front forks and triple tree is that from?

[wegs426]

Here's mine.
Mostly done always seeking to do more.

[MT.thumper]

Here's my '78 550. I swapped out the rearsets and clip-ons to make it easier for my daughter to ride. Renthal bars are really nice, and absorb a lot of vibes.

Nice job. I like the cut down front fender. Did you fold the cut edge under or leave it?
