A really fine job son. Let's get the carbs sorted on both of our bikes and we'll be riding instead of wrenching. The guys on the GSR will be very impressed when they see the finished product. I know I was!
Didn't make the dead line for the Mid-Ohio show so I went and the bike didn't. It was together but not running well enough. I think I've gotten the majority of it figured out. So here's what the finished (for now) product.
She looks great. I still have things I want to do soon like mounting an oil cooler, Dyna S ignition system, get the wheels sent off and replaced with stainless spokes, fork brace, V&H exhaust and a different seat. So keep an eye out for future progress.

I do.
Are they a good length for a 650G?
How are they sprung?
How is the ride?
1 year update. It's been nearly a year since I got the GS on the road again so I thought I would post and let you know what's been going on with her. She's gotten some more modifications; Dyna S ignition, different mirrors, some Sport Demon tires, Electrosport stator and R1 Mosfet R/R and now thanks to Chuck a V&H exhaust to replace the rusty, beat up Kerker. The carbs were also rebuilt and finally jetted correctly by yours truly.
Some pics!
Here she is in touring mode for the wife and I's trip to Mississippi.
Rolled over 30K miles on the way home from MS.
As she sits now with the new exhaust.
There are still plans in the works so stay tuned for more updates.

Looking great

How about the addition of a flyscreen like I sent Colin for his bike? Alternatively, a larger screen put on for touring duties can be a big help on a trip but a bit too fugly for me to keep on the bike all the time.

That's at the AMA Vintage Days, right? Looks like the parking area.

Update: She's gotten another paint job, this time with some pearls in the paint. The copper in the black really pops in the right light. The engine has been punched out to an 1100 and fitted with a Deraile cooler. The carbs were gone through again and then K&N pods were added. An underseat electronics panel was made up and the R1 MOSFET R/R, Eastern Beaver fuse block and relays found their way there.
