    Not sure I understand. You selling? Parts, the whole bike ('project')? Or just keeping us informed about your build?

    Either way, pics help.

    Welcome to the site.

      Welcome to the site.
      Sorry for the confusion I've been trying to add pics but it just kept giving me a site error. I'll try again today. But yes the thread is about my current project. Just putting it there I have no use for most of what I'm taking off

        Anyone have any help with uploading images? I wanted to start a build thread but without pictures it's kind of pointless. I just keep getting "upload failed"

            Man I downloaded the app and logged in on the website. It's just a social Medio app. I can't even figure out how to host images. It just tries to make me create a post

                    Look up Pete's in Australia thread. He did a pretty comprehensive one about building his 450 Scrambler....

                    By the way... you can run a CBR rotor & EX650 Caliper on that fork if my memory serves me correctly. There is a link in my sig below. The 450 uses the same size rotor as the bigger bikes 274mm so works with the standard kit.

                      Are you doing a restoration project of some kind on a GS? Let everyone see what you are doing by posting the details here.

                        This is kind of the idea I have in mind. It was built by brick house builds here in missouri

                          So now that I have the photos all sorted out. I have stripped out down to the frame and painted everything. I ordered an 18"front wheel. So I'll be running 18 front 17 rear. I have shinko 700 tires. Pro taper high bars. Planning on running a 2:1 exhaust. Keeping all original gauges. I do leather work professionally, so I'll do a custom leather seat.

                            So I had to order an 18" wheel from Germany (couldn't find one in the US) still waiting for it to come. So I put the tires on place to get an idea of what it will look like.

                              I got the rear tire on and wheel assembled. Polished the brake plate up a little.
