    1979 GS 750L - Tin Shack Special

    Thought I would post up just a couple of photos here. Many thanks to the admins on this forum and various members for providing much information when I decided to do this bike..........you've been an indispensable resource.

          Cool looking bike. Would love to see some more pics. Is that a Benelli tank, or a Bengi, possibly..?

            Looks great. Did you shorten the fork tubes? +1 on more pics

              Thanks for all the positive comments. NVR, good eye, that is a Benelli 360 tank. Chum, the tubes were not shortened, just slid up through the trees a bit to get the bike a little more "hunkered" down. The bike did have a nice feature on the pipeburn.com (I think it's now on the 3rd or 4th page of the site now) if you would like to check it out, lots of other very cool builds there also.
