some pics of my junk, 81 gs450

this engine is now in the hardtail, since it doesn't need a rebuild

Where did you get that seat? I'm currently stuck at that point on my bobber project.

I like the work you've one on the HT. Nice lines and the framework looks clean.

good price and quality. I like your bike, are you gonna hard tail it of keep the springs? do you know of anyone adding a kick start to a 450?

nice projects! keep the progress pics coming.

Since everyone likes pix. Here's what she looks like thus far.

So far I've lowered the whole bike, raked the rear shox forward about 5 inches, made my fender and mounting brackets, and can't decide whether or not to make it kick start only or put the battery back on it since its only a 400.

id say make it kick only. if my 1980 gs450 had a kicker thats what id do.

Great thread! Keep the progress and pics coming.

They look good...

Lots of work ahead. The red one looks a lot like what I would love to do to my 850, I'm interested to see how it goes.

PS Love the picture of your helper with all the spare parts

just got the engine in the hardtailed one, also put the drag bars on. hopefully I'll get the electrical wired tomorrow.

the red one fires, but needs a seat made up.

total price of them so far is about 800
