some pics of my junk, 81 gs450

things that need to be addressed
- carb rebuild
- finish wiring (wire up a light switch)
- chain
- rear brake linkage needs 4 inches added (going out to do now)
- brake pads, oil change and filter, clutch, and air for the tires
- shorten throttle cable (finished)

things that aren't that important
- rear fender
- suicide shifter
- exhaust

lovin the build, keep up with the pics

thanks, I'll add these.

my friends grandfather turned 85 yesterday, so we partied a bit. while we were playing flip cup I caught a glance of a 30 gallon fish tank stand next to the garbage, they said I could have it


good 1/4" bar stock, I just stuck the "s" in for the pic. don't know if I'll use it yet, we'll see when the bike is almost done

and some flip cup action

Why the suicide shift behind the leg?

that's the only way to roll.

won a sportster tank on evilbay, should have it by the end of the week. also ordered the ignition with only 2 posts and barrel style keys.

Why the suicide shift behind the leg?

gnarly project.

Lookin good dude. I ordered the same seat but got mine from cycle recycle. Its not mounted yet because I can't figure out how I want it on there. Since this is my first project that I actually cut parts of the frame out of I'm having trouble placing things. The bike and the seat/rider placement look different in photos.

keep it going

mounted the coils today.
made a battery bracket.
cut a transfer case shifter I had sitting around to start sizing up the suicide shifter, it is a secondary project since I just want to get it on the road before the snow hits.

I was going to make a run to autozone for some exhaust pipe, but I had a couple of PBRs and I don't want to run into some cop who has a hard-on for firefighters, there is some jealousy. sorry for the wordy post, on to the pics in no real order

are those gunna get enough cool air to not burn up inside that?

hmm, I have been thinking about it and I have some cool mesh sheet metal I have been saving, probably make the cover and side out of that.
