Here's how she stands now. Still a work in progress.

Nice work, Jonny.
I bet it is fun to ride.

Thanks!

I wish, ha. The seat is really uncomfortable, but I plan on replacing it next year and I know how to do it better this time. Turn radius had to be limited due to the oversized tank off of an 850, so it makes for some awkward parking lot experiences. I don't want to ride at night because the aftermarket V Rod headlight is really dim.

But really, it is fun to ride...for short distances...during the day

First rebuild. Learned a lot, both positive and negative, but its a fun little 1980 450E to ride around on

Was inspired to do the pinstriping this week thanks to some posts on here. My 78 GS750 as it sits today:

Looks good!

Bike looks great, what rotors are you using up front?

 

[Guest]

Thanks guys! Using Honda GL 1500 Valkyrie rotors (1997-2003) up front. They work great, just had to drill out the holes to 8mm, hole pattern and spacing is correct.

Nice work CC.

It would be nice to see some closer photos of front wheel and paint. Looks really sharp!

Thanks for the interest. The paint is all rattle cans; Duplicolor Dark Blue Metallic with SprayMax 2K clear over it.

I like the brake job, is that the salty_monk conversion?

I see you have swapped to spokes....much better, imho.
The tank badges are cool.
Welcome to the site.

Yeah, it took me a while to track down some laced wheels... More than anything, I just didn't know that all (or most) GS spokes had mounts for dual disc setups (hidden under a cap)... Once I figured that out, it got much easier... Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking for a while, just never had anything to post...

Here's one pic of my '81 GS850G. She's in the shop getting some work done. About to start putting on new stuff (new fairing/windscreen, renthal kevlar grips, might buy a new gas tank)
Will post more when I get my bike back and start doing more customizations
