So I got a really good deal on a 82 gs450 and I've always wanted to build a motorcycle so I figured now would be the time. 
Here is the bike the day I bought it.
It runs well but the battery was starting to go so I started to switch some things out. First to go were all of the bulky metal items and I switched to set of clubman bars (I may be switching to clips later if I decide to lower the tree down the forks).
I purchased an anti-gravity 8-cell and fabricated a rear loop and a place to mount the battery.
I have a good friend helping me with the fabrication but he is an auto interior guy so he's been working hard on the new seat.
Next up I'll be looking to do a complete custom sparck moto harness, a set of hagon's in the rear, and a bunch of cleaning, scrubbing, and polishing on the parts I will be keeping. I also plan on running velocity stacks and a custom header so if anyone has experience on a 450 that would be awesome help.
I found a killer deal on a late model gsxr 1000 front end and was wondering if any of you had done a swap similar?
Any extra information and advise on anything you guys have tackled would be greatly appreciated.
