    GS850 Custom

    We've got this jewel tuned running like a Singer sewing machine. It was a rescue.

    No front brake? Hard Tail? No thank you. Looks nicely done, though. Don't see many shaft-drive choppers.

      I dun'no, Not sure what it is. Seems waaay too much room from top of eng. to bottom of tank to be a GS850 frame, even an "L" shouldn't be no more than a couple of inches..

        It started life as an '82 850. Frame has been modified, retained the engine cradle portion. Forks are 6" over, custom trees with 4 degrees rake to correct the trail. I know most of y'all don't like modifications like this but the four cylinder bikes are a great platform to customize.

          thumb_66410.jpg​We built 4 degree trees to correct the rake from the 6" over tubes. Steers great at slow speeds and straight down the highway too.
