Hey UT how much work did you have to put into that Veypor (I think that is what the gauge is) housing. I'd love to do something like that to my "F" would give it a more modern look IMO.

Average thanks so much for clearing that up! I was like dude she is more of a Tom Boy than me the way you talk LOL! It was all the medication I was on HONEST! Maybe I should share. Nah, ITS ALL MINE! okay another medicated rave! Shut up Mary I can't stop talking uhm typing AAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Nice bikes everyone!

I have had a request to post my bike as it sits today: 


Actually, that pic was taken about 6 weeks ago.  The only difference is the rearsets have been lowered and moved forward due to a knee injury i had.  It hurt if I rode for more than 5 minutes.  I love the adjustability!  The knee is getting better, so I'll move them up and back within a week probably.

I kinda like the front fender on this one:


Too bad I never got around to painting it.

And this is how she  currently sits.

Say, do you have a template for moving the rearsets? I have a knee injury, too. As I am 6'1" and will raise the bike a touch with a nice shock, I will probably keep it that way.


Thanks!

Here's mine a few weeks ago after a crash. I'm in the process of completely repainting it, so hopefully in another week or two when I get around to finishing it I'll post another pic.

Man, I love that tank bra! Where did you get it and how much? I think it would be a nice addition to my bike's primered look  O0

HAD a Radian.  Sold it to a co-worker.  He's in need of a carb (PO broke one of the float pin goal-posts, then JB-welded it.  When I took the carbs apart to clean them, I broke the JB-weld---figured since it held until I tried to remove the pin, it oughtta hold again!)  You want his info?  He might be willing to part with it if he's tired of futzing around.

I didn't make the rearsets, dgyver did.  These are 1/4" thick, and I think he also did a set with thicker material.  PM him to see if he has a template.  If not, give me a yell within the next couple of days and I'll sketch them when I get ready to move them back up.  They are adjustable to something like 10 positions, so they are not going to stay on the bike!

I got it from http://www.topsellerie.com/
Actually, my girlfriend gave it to me for my birthday but she had me order it because it is a bit confusing. Depending on the current exchange rate, its about $130 shipped to your door. Or you can buy it on ebay for like $200 shipped if you are rich and don't want to deal with the crazy french website. I got it in about a week, which is pretty remarkable considering they are made to order and coming from France. Its something I would have never bought myself but it is fantastic! Top sellerie and bagster both make tank bags that clip onto the bra (more of a sweater really). Regular magnetic tankbags don't work very well anymore. Covers up all my scratches and dents!

Yeah too bad they probalby don't fit on the 89-2000 gs.  I want one really bad to cover up some tank blemishes, but they don't make them for my year... Unless anyone else has tried one on theirs -let me know!
