I do like the looks of the shortened/forward seat and tail of yours.....I've got a V-rod seat and some tarozzi rear set pieces on a shelf if I ever try that route {and acquire another cycle for two upping on}.

Nice metal forming...like the black mesh insert too...nice contrast. How'd you anchor the bottom of each cover though? {rare earth magnets...clip...?}

Holyshoot...that's the first GS I've seen with Shoei saddles! That's the style I'd do for added storage...and I know where a set is like that for $100 {with a key}...how'd you run the mounts? I don't think I'd copy you on the partial barkalounger[lol], but, the side saddles I might. {whats alittle more weight on my 850G?...}

I want to redo it on another frame. Insteadof chopping off the rear i want to just section out maybe like 5 inches. Itd be a little longer than what i have now and keep all the original bracketry and maybe even the rear inner fender. A true "if zuk had made the single seat gs"

Hate when that happens.
...how bout just add the wanted 5" back to it rather than farming out for another frame? {just a thought}

Well since i have the peice i cut off ill be chopping that up so that i can have all the brackets off of it, instead of trashing another bike

Hi, The trunk is removable. It is my daily driver so the extra carry space comes in very handy. I can post a picture of the mounts if you want
Truly a unique bike. I love the look.

You know...the more "I" look at this pic, the more I have to say- why change it? It has the rear wheel sticking out in cafe style...the tank looks elongated even though it isn't and you'd still have enough room to move around on with a single seat platform {we never readjust while riding - do we...I do}.
She's your canvas, but I'd leave her as is...but add homemade rear sets and put the battery in the tail so it's open. My two cents for what lil it's worth...
