One aggressive looking bike. I've never seen a headlight like that before, unique for sure. have you done any engine work?

That looks fantastic.
What front end are you using?
How is the ground clearance under the 4-1?

I like it. I'm boring and practical.

Cool. It would look naked without the shark fin tips.

Thanks! It's just bolt-ons right now. Its got DynoJet stage 3 kit with K&N pods, Delkevic full exhaust with a custom Racefit-esque carbon end can welded on, Earl's cooler with a UK-made adapter, will have new ignition and coils. Eventually, somewhere down the line I'd like to drop a Bandit 1200 motor in there. But given how this build is currently going, it'll be a long while.

Thank you! It's a 2006 GSXR-750 complete front with CognitoMoto upper triple clamp. The ground clearance is good since the rear end is raised slightly (0.5-0.75 inch) due to the slightly longer shocks. In hindsight, I would've gone with Cognito's riser clamp set ($$$) or get a Honda 954 triple set ($).


FYI, the rear is a Bandit 1200 complete rear end, using Katman's conversion kit, with Chinese shocks at 13.5" eye to eye. Eventually, I'd like a set of FOX RC1 duals on there...but that's also ($$$).

BasketCase I like your project!

I have a couple threads about upgrading the suspension and adding the front fairing to My 82 1100G.
I'll just post some pics here.

BasketCase I like your project!

Thank you sir! Love the color scheme on your G, classic with a bit of flash added in.

You have any details on your process? It looks great

1983 gs850gl. Still in progress.

 

[Jedz123]

Uhhhh....

LOL

She's coming. The 550 bottom end is waiting for me to have a few days off to put the 673 top end on!

Not sure if this comment is towards me or another member, but I'm documenting my build over on the projects subforum. Look for Basket Case project. Thanks.

Wow, that is the biggest trunk and backrest I have ever seen.

Appears to be straight off a GL1500 Goldwing. :encouragement:

When included with the rest of the luggage, it's not so overwhelming. Click on the link in my sig to see my Wing.
