some pics of my junk, 81 gs450

some pics of my junk

this thing is a monster, wheelies, whole shots, insanity, and thats my 70 shovelhead in a 46 straight leg under my wife


this bike cant be on the road more than a day before I tear it apart and change it around


the reason I'm on the forum, and the only bike that doesn't require sweating and cursing to start in public places. (also the front wheel is for sale)


yes, there are days where I alternate bikes, they sit on the side of my house waiting to be picked

BTW I just used these

Dude, who isn't a member on pirate. I think I signed up originally in 2002?? And if you post up there that you built a cage out of water pipe people will make fun of you.

Most everyone using DOM, CREW, or HREW.

thats what I was trying to tell him.

as for the wiring, my old desktop crashed and I have to draw up a new one.

did I really predict march to start the cafe bike

at least the shovel is on the road

im actually a member at pirate4x4, i built a cage based off their threds and 4 of my buddies have built them. i dont know a whole lot about steel

defiantly love this build... found it by accident and it has given me a lot of good ideas for my current build

here is where I am with my gs...

hey im interested in that wiring you have for your gs450...shoot me a pm

The GS chop will be getting a 21" rim with a small dirt bike drum since I wanted to get a 21" on it for a while. I was thinking of running a spool hub but decided to use it on my ironhead instead. the disc and caliper will go on the cafe project once I figure out the dual disc setup. I think the cafe will get some work around March.

been busy getting my shovel ready for summer so haven't worked on the GSs in a while.

djg, you gotta start somewhere, I challenge you.

theo, CAFE bike is moving slowly, I just moved on up, further south, so I have to build a shed and as you may know the weather is crumby and I have a cold. I did get the wiring done though and some other stuff.

I have to say that this is probably one of my favorite looking bikes. Everything is perfectly executed. By the way, what's happening with your cafe build. That one was looking pretty sweet as well. Keep up the good work.

thats look awsome! Ho whard is it to change handlebars? Im wondering If i can pull that off,

That shovel is sweet. The Suzuki is looking rather nice as well. Whatcha goin to do with all these bikes? You only got one ass and can't put it on all three?

5, all 5 bikes. depends on the mood. they are priceless in the therapy of my PTSD. I always have somewhere to put my head.

2 GS's both on here. cafe isn't finished but when it is I think my wife will ride it. the chop is for local stress relief

3 harleys 70 shovel is for longer stretched out rides, its heavy, handles like crap around town, but its alot of fun to kick start and chug along on the highway. 71 ironhead is getting a makeover into a super narrow and light chopper(think wheelies and lane splitting) 75 ironhead is on its last leg so I'm gonna sell it.

but I always have a runner and a project.

21" front rim is here!!! now I need a tube, tire, and brakes. should get it 1st week of january. also made the wiring super simple and hopefully bullet proof

I actually made 2 so I have one for my cafe project. if there is an interest in a diagram I'll make one up. this is just head/tail light, ignition and charging. I made it with as little confusion as possible for reliability and easy roadside repair. it also comes out in about 3 mins roadside for easy fixes.



and dont tell my wife I had the shovelhead in the house
