          It looks better than it did when you started.

            How the GS looked last summer. Since then I changed the wheels and the rear suspension!

              It's never an easy thing to take a design, break it down, and rebuild it into a tidy package, especially when trying to retain functionality. I think you've done a good job at it.

                Very nice build! What's the finish on the side covers?

                  Nice work on the bracket and the finished bike looks good.
                  I know you have crazy strict noise laws in Quebec. Did you leave the baffles intact?
                  I also like the look of the DCC seat.

                    On the engine, it's black matte powder coating.

                      Thanks!

                      Yes the exhaust system is still stock.
                      I'm trying to find a cheap way to make it sound a little bit more aggressive.
                      Because yes we have pretty strict laws about noise, especially this year.

                        Bought new tire!

                        Those are Shinko 712.
                        I put a 110/90-18 in the rear on a 1.950'' wide rim I think
                        and 100/90-18 in the front on a thinner rim.(about 1.600'')
                        (not recommended to rim bare hand it's a pain in the...)

                        Love the look of the tire and the PRICE! Total cost of 157.42$ CAN delivered at my house.

                            Time to restore those spoke wheels!


                            -First, take them apart and remove the chrome on the rim.
                            -Powdercoat the hubs and the rims
                            -Clean EVERY spokes and nipples.. (should buy new ones but im a poor student)
                            -Reassemble everything together and true the wheels.
                            oh and new bearings!
