1979 GS1000L repurpose

I'd use an AGM battery on a frame that pretty.

lookin' good! i like the clubman bars on the wrong way. looks different.

Love the colour of that frame, looks great. I'm wishing I had painted mine something other than black now - gives it some more life.

Video didn't load so maybe this direct link will work

Got my wiring all figured out and tucked away looks good got my rear blinkers working as well,

Looks like a rats best there buy much better now.

And my working blinkers from the back and tail light

Like where you can't tell the blinkers are there till they are lite up

Good to hear you got it back together. Yeah glad mine is finally back up on two wheels again. I have to go through wiring harness again and tweak it for digital guage. And check valve clearence hope to fire it up soon and do a functions check of all systems.

I got that bracket welded on and finally got all mine back together. Not quite the job your doing, but it was nice to drive to the gas station. That bike is looking awesome.

Going back together

Started putting it back together after painting the frame .

I was looking to do an E front end on my L, sschering has already done some measurements on it. I hope this helps.

Very nice! that's gonna be a bad ass ride. Yeah, nothing like stopping when your not expecting it.

I never rode it with the E triple on it but I didn't notice a difference with E forks and L triple in riding. BUT I didn't ride it for very long or very hard the front brakes were locking up and I didn't trust it .

Painted some on tank incase I want to put a couple stripes off set from center.

My wife says she's a fan of the orange. Did you ride it with that smaller triple tree? did it ride any different as compared with the E forks in the L triple. I pushed my forks up through the triple just under an inch and it seems to enjoy cornering faster now. I have the L forks and L triple, curious how different it rides considering the slight rake in the frame.

That is why I had to get another tank..... Yeah I cut it out of an old aluminum sign I found buried under some leaves and pine needles. That is an 82 gs1100 gl that he is doing along side mine

is that another GS your buddy is building? Man, if that would have happened to me with the paint I probably would have had to get another frame after having taken a large hammer to the other one. is that seat pan made from the sign, cool idea.

It did all come out straight even though the frame looks crooked I had to bend that one side to miss the sending unit and petcock, but the measurements all came out right from the ones I had before I cut it. The shop doesn't belong to me it is my step dads he lets me use it.
