Yep there are some pretty bad roads off Gessner.
I must admit my first thought of making it a hardtail was "sacrilege" but, seeing how it's coming along, I can't wait to see how it turns out, that's gonna be one really nice bike.
On my first '82 I removed the rear shocks and installed struts, didn't take me long to put the shocks back on. That was twenty five years ago and my back still reminds me of it.

I did forget my camera so you guys will have to wait till tuesday for more pics. i think you will live though, plus i will be installing the forks end the front and rear wheels so there will be lots of picsComment

It certainly looks like it will kick ass.
I would feel rather intimidated by that thing no matter WHAT I was sitting on next to you...Comment

i really like how you're integrating the seat pan with the tank. most builds leave that bit unattended and it often can look untidy/unfinished. great work man.Comment

Keep it coming, Brandon. Lots of good bits in your project already.
What is the muffler? I like the flared end.
BTW, get those cars out of your bike building area.2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

the exhaust is just a vance and hines street megaphone, the end cap and "baffle" which is nothing more than a 4'' perforated tube is just something i whipped up from bits around the shop. Oh and i agree those cars are taking up all my workspace! hopefully i can ride it out of there in about two weeks
