GS450 Mega Build

I would definitely keep it if the headlight projects light well and if the clip ons are comfortable.

Love the meatier forks. Can't wait to see what you got planned for the rear end

I like 'em...

questions:
1. Should i keep the headlights?
2. Should i keep the clip ons?

What do you guys think?

1. Yes!
2. Yes!!

Since you asked.......

As far as a headlight goes, I prefer a single bucket. I like alot of light and if those (the pair) lights cast good, usable light I might be pursuaded to use them. The stock 450 bulb is dim, expensive and prone to failure. I don't think they look bad, I just like a single.

I really like the looks of the clip ons. If you can live ( as in comfort) with the position by playing with the foot control location and seat I'd deffently keep them.

Moving along!

Mustered the courage to start assembling the front end. After a nice long ride on on the old forks, I started disassembly. Then I tackled getting the new tire on and bead seated. Whew!

Questions:
1. Should I keep the headlights?
2. Should I keep the clip ons?

What do you guys think?

Hahaha like a poll's gonna make your mind up for you

I'd rather get a nice surprise at the end, see how far away my imagination is from what you end up with...

But that 527 engine mod in the other thread... wow... your front end would be needed for that!

Ha!

I'm not 100% sure either! More like 50%.....Maybe I should take a poll.

Not 100% sure where you're heading with this, but from what I can tell so far those lights should look awesome, and the black wheels will definitely go well also.

The dual headlights look cool! Do they project well? And black rims certainly add more horsepower Keep it up.

And

Thanks for the compliments. Spend all day today in the shop.....officially my last weekday off until next summer. Time to go back to the teaching gig. I got a couple of little wiring things done and then tackled a stainless bracket to mount up two new headlights. Like?





and started painting my new front wheel. Hopefully I can get the tire mounted up this weekend.

Cool! Love the selected color photos. It looks much better than my relay mod being held on with 3 zip-ties!

Some progress...

Still working on the forks but no pictures to show. I did some work on the bike itself today. Put in a few hours working on taking out the stock gauges and putting in a mini-speedo. Not sure if I like it yet. Then I did the Coil Relay Mod. She started up fine, so I assume I did it right!

Hey,

I just use the free version of Google Sketchup. It's all I'll ever really need.

which 3d software do you use?

Sorta...

It took a bit of work to make it fit between the rotor bolts. I ended up shaving down the outside of the drive to fit.
