thats a VH...

The whole swedish tank thing is a crack on how those volvos are built...i swear i could hit a Peterbuilt with thing and win its soo heavy. all its missing is a turret.

And NO i wouldnt part that other out..thats Steve's (off here) GS850L and yes it is gorgeous.. we just took a pic one day when he was over..total contrast in styles...lol

actually my bike has a bit of a different line to it now...those shorty shocks are gone and it has a much meaner sportier stance now.. i need to find that damn USB cable or hopefully my new phone gets here soon. and in the second pic where those eight balls are is where that gauge set you're trading me is going so all that crap has to go..lol so'k cos i didnt like it anyways.
 
Guess I'll authentize this thread also.

Tank in progress shot

Fender in primer. Scuffed the sh*t out of it and made sure that the paint wouldn't come off with all the flexing. Its staying on there pretty good
MoreBikePics006-1.jpg



Lovely angle. Its lookin tough now

Hiding. She's naked
MoreBikePics007-1.jpg


MoreBikePics005-1.jpg


Painted this whole assembly meticulously
MoreBikePics004-1.jpg
 
And what she used to look like. Keep in mind nothing was actually mounted. We kinda just layed it wherever it had to go

She was ugly but I had a vision

Nekkid, without a lil makeup

Thanks. I can't get over how good the frame looks also. Its not a 100% detailed job and some of it was halfassed but being flat it just looks really good. plus the imperfections don't come up at all, unless you're like 6 inches away.

The tank however. That's gonna need some more time. Right there it has a clear coat on it. The first one actually and I hadn't gotten to wet sanding it at that point. Right now its on its second coat.

Dude steve has a really nice GS lol I had to throw that in.

Dude I can't remember his name right now. Beer-something..... I think. But either way he pounded in his own knee inserts. looks pretty good but I think bondo was his friend

BeerGood Yeah him and byrdman and one of the guys off the DoTheTon site pretty much talked me thru it...sounds simple enough and in any of those jobs bondo is required...how much is all about how careful you are with the deadfall hammer...lol I got one tank coming in exchange for those gauges i had off a GS1100 (the huge jetfighter ones) and i really want one more got a couple of leads..havent heard back from them yet.
 
Actually thats his WIFES GS...he rides a Goldwing...and his son has a GS650

I would suck at it then. I have hammer skills like a carpenter/mechanic. I'd probably just mangle it
 
naw they say it pretty much goes the way you want it...with light taps...i too have construction hammer hands...lmao the key is getting the leading edges right..its cake from there
 
DUDE I FORGOT TO ASK. HEADLIGHT EARS I NEED HEADLIGHT EARS. Please tell me you have some
 
I do...I have two sets...but i think they're set up for the square light...might not make a difference cos the square light sat in a housing. Since i have two ill toss em in with the other stuff... and since you're my bro...they're all yours. Let me know if they work!
 
thought id throw up a couple of the lil KZ pics...just for ****s and gigles...still cleaning it up and i have an electrical issue to track down and then a repaint (brit racing green, camel seat cover and camel trim lines) and then she's up for sale... hopefully the GS guys dont shoot me...lol

Brit racing green is a good color. Nice bike though, why paint it. I think I apreciate these old jap machines more and more each day. Cuz man I got a hankering for a chopped XS650
 
If we're doing pics for sh*ts and giggles I wanna throw in this one. Completely custon turbo diesel bike. Just about everything is hand fabricated. I want one lol
