1981 GS450 resto-mod fighter/cafe/whatever...

I've got 400 in it(not including the 100 bucks worth of gas I spent to go pick it up ). Tire is good, pads are brand new and I just replaced the seals and dust caps. The only thing I would suggest it needs is a drain and fill on the oil. I only put about 330ml per side to make it work better for a lighter bike. 487ml is spec. It also has a small bend on the front wheel, which I never felt while riding.

So 400 plus ship and I would put some serious thought into it.

That's a deal. I need to round up some money first .

[Billy T.]

cool. Hit me up via pm when you are ready for it. It's not going anywhere.

[Billy T.]

Engine seems to have survived. Still waiting on the valve cover gasket so I just let it run for a few seconds. No rattles knocks or other funny noises. Only time will tell if it stays together. I am pretty optimistic at this point.

Excellent, that's a good start

[Billy T.]

20 miles on the rebuild with no issues.

Riding it to work tomorrow, 40 miles round trip

ha ha.

[Guest]

Mate that's good news indeed!

[Hoosier Daddy]

AWESOME! Good luck to you

This is a pretty cool build you have going here, I am working on something similar with my GS 425L something for urban assault purposes. I particularly like the exhaust. I assume you had to lose the center stand for that?

[Billy T.]

Nope, center stand still works. Only real downside to it is that oil drains on to it during changes. It isn't right under the drain, but close. I guess I could lean the bike a little to the right and it would be a non issue.

Hadn't even gotten the can attached when I shot it.

Still unsure I like it how it is, prolly going to end up making it turn up, just about the same angle as the pass peg when it's folded up. As it is now, I think the potential for it to hit the ground is pretty good. Not too severe of a lean to make that happen.

that exhaust sounds badass! Love it!
