This is the the result of my winters work. 83 GS450TX with ATV bars and a cafe seat.

Nice Don, I really like that!

Did it have spoke wheels when you got it?

75% done , have rearsets that need installed. Make a seat, some other things..

Thanks for the compliments, and yes the spokes and drum brakes front and rear are factory. Besides the bars, slip-on's, and the cafe seat, It's just a stock 450tx under there.

My new old GS400T

Mate she's in good shape! That'll polish up real well

here's my gsx400TX and the beaterbike GSX400EX.
Thanks everyone for posting your pix in here. I really enjoy seeing what you've done with these bikes

the interesting oddity on my parts/beater bike 'EX is this funny little rack.I do believe it's stock but I've only seen it once before.Unfortunately, the chrome is thrashed so I'll be painting it...

 

[Guest]

Very nice... and yes, you have the optional sports rack made of unobtanium!

That's why I made my own to replicate it... they're impossible to find and when you see a bike with one on it, the owner doesn't want to part with it...

I believe it's high time I posted some pic's of my 450 in here given I haven't done so yet... and especially now that she's "finished" and I got some half decent pic's today...

where can i get a exhaust like this for my 250? $

this is my 80 gs250 project Lil Overkill!

 

[Gorminrider]

ah,Pete! Great! I was looking for your bike here .
..when I see your bike I sure miss my long-gone '72 CL350 Scrambler. It was a soggy thing compared to your bike but the insurance rate-class here meant it had a good $/fun ratio...IT needed a back-rack...

I like it. Build is similar to mine.

Where in GA are you? What did you do with the old wheels?

North GA near Blue Ridge Mountains, I got a local guy that really wants them for his Build but have not talk to him yet would you like to make a offer. I have an ad in the parts section if you want photos.

Nice I used to live in GA and rode around there 129/60/180 etc.. Its an great spot.


I already have a set that I bought for 50$ but they are pitted and yours lookes cleaner in the pics.

To fit a fat wheel in the back youre gonna nee a wide swingarm. Here is what I did on mine. My wheel is gonna get thrown on soon Ill update the pics. You are also going to need an offset front sprocket and youll need to beat the frame rail in some to the get the chain to clear. I used a 4.5in wheel but a 5inch could be done but wont be easy.

I had that custom made by a local exhaust shop here... just under $AU800 but you guys in the US usually get this stuff way cheaper than us

Haha yeah I had to stick some in here... and I've now seen pic's of three 450's with the genuine optional racks, and not one owner has wanted to part with it... so yeah I had an old carry rack sitting around that I cut and shaped to attach to the grab rail. Then John82q welded it up for me as he'd seen my previous welding efforts

Cool nice to meet you jfman. I am narrowing a gs1100 alum swing arm the rims is a 5.50 I was just stated to go back and start looking at offset sprockets and gearing. when i get the swing in there i will see where i am at. where are you getting yours from? offset sprocket

I had these parts for a 78 kz1000 but I am new to all this and got this lil gs250 and thought what the hell since i am going with later model stuff on my KZ. I Just dig this lil thing fell in love with GS's
