Even though you had a darn good base for your project, that is an amazing transfer in a month! Very close to my "L" plans, but I got 8 months in mine and counting...
Nice job!!!

Well here's mine. GS1100GK with plenty of custom bits.

Can I ask what you had done exactly? i have the same bike and am researching ideas....since i have not 1 creative bone in my body! I'd really be interested in the Motor, carb, etc.

79 GS1000S New bore and 1085 pistons/rings, welded crank, ported head, Andrews S2 degreed cams, undercut tranny gears, Vance & Hines billet racing clutch, Mikuni VM33 racing carbs, oil cooler, and a Dyna 2000 ignition. The frame, swingarm, etc. was powdercoated, and the body parts were painted by our friend Larry at www.meticulouspaint.com All the pinstripes are painted, not decals. NINE coats of clear. GS1100E front fender. Tinted Zero Gravity windscreen. The motor was painted by me. The swingarm is an upgraded aluminum one from a GS1100. Straight rate springs in the forks and Works Performance shocks in the rear. Upgraded calipers and rotors, black braided SS brake lines. She is shown with a NOS Alphabet exhaust, but I also have two old school Yoshimura exhausts for her. She will also be getting some GS1150/GS1100 wheels and wider tires once I get to it.


Started with this:

Now she looks like this:

Just picked this one up this morning=)

Here's my '79 GS750L. YES, it is an L model, say what you want about it but I think I did a good job de-L'ing it for a substantial riding improvement-superbike bars, one off seat and rearset fabrication, rejetted to 125 main's, APE filters, MAC 4-1 exhaust. Still under 9k miles

^That's me after a 180 mile ride from school in Schenectady, NY back home at Medfield, MA. The new 530 sprockets are geared more for acceleration and resulted in much more vibration at highway speeds. Not to mention the MDI shocks are like struts and the seat I fabricated I haven't finished... it only has neoprene foam which is okay for riding around town but feels like concrete after an hour on the road. I couldn't feel my A$$ for days!
Edit: some before pictures for comparison...

how did you do the seat/fender set up? that looks nice!

A few details to finish but this is basically it:

I must say that you, sir, have one of my favorite bikes on here. To be honest seeing this bike got me thinking about my own. I'm considering taking some queues from your bike and applying them to my own.

Props!

i have the same type of set up on my 850.....pics in my profile

 

[7981GS]

My '82 GS1200G with 34CV carbs and pods (that don't work on them. )

And with factory Air box and different mirrors...

No hacksaws were used in this build. Does it still qualify as "Custom"?

This is my offering, mildly custom 79 1000 L, 1100 E headlight, mini blinkers, mini tail light, Alligator skin vinyl seat cover. Cut my levers down a bit shorter, Daytona Handle bars, painted my fork leg lowers - dark gray metaflake - Duplicolor Rim paint, also did the top of my tank with that same paint. Everything else is stock, engine,carbs, electrics.

My thoughts the same on the seat tail section. Looks very good.
