Post a picture of your custom GS

[Dogma]

Not yet started properly but I have pretty much done the design work now and made a start today.

This will be my no 1 bike (when it is finished) one of my GS1150 EF's ...

That is going to look sweet. Will the pinstripes be retro-reflective?

looks cool

Thanks guys. Not sure what you mean by 'retro-reflective' (reflect a retro look or a sparkly pin stripe) I was thinking of a shiny gold flake in the pin stripe for a bit of sparkle and maybe a Matt Black one one side of the pin stripes and full gloss black on the other.

Where are you? Post up a thread about your bike! I love all the arguments I have with people about whether or not there was ever a four-cylinder "GS" 500.

How do you post a photo so that it appears in large format? I seem only to be able to post thumbnails.

You'll need to use Photobucket or something like that.

I created an album in my profile, and I am able to link the large photos from it.

My first bike at age 28:

1978 GS750E

Sorted out the electrical issues, and now need to tackle the crummy gas mileage; then again, that is what 7000' elevation does!

Love the motorcycle, love the site! So many friendly and knowledgeable folks!!

Very nice, Russ! What's the story on the custom exhaust can (on the red Yosh 1000)...that looks pretty sharp!

 

[midnightcafe]

Russ, how do you adjust the rear wheel distance? Is it similar to a Benelli setup, rotate the offset axle?

The custom can from both the '78 and the Cooley were made by a local Houston company called Jemco Exhausts. They have been making exhausts for around 30 years. Very big in the 2-stroke crowd. They literally ship all over the world. The can on the cooley was made to look like a Harris can. Both have 2 inch baffles. On the '78 we had to cut off the rear peg bracket and made the mount where the top was cut to accomodate the upsweep design. Originally it was a period Yosh exactly like Salty Monk's '78.

That is correct.
