[scotty110788]

Well got bike few weeks back, gs500e 1992. Gonna turn it into a single seater chop, twin headlights, powder coat, custom tank job from my tattooist and much more, gonna take a while because of work/ money commitments so be patient ; p when i first go it as you can see in pictures, the paint job is terrible, hammerite is covering everything! More pics to follow the night as welder packed in but will be getting fixed today : (

more rust prevention after sanding frame down bit by bit, this isn't goin to be final product, just temp till I have done body work and moved onto engine, then I will properly do full frame once everything is off

I see good progress over here 

Question: what did you do with the chainguard and right engine cover?
Are these all loose stickers an did you do the sticker bomb yourself?
Looking at the photo's it looks like one solid piece hence my question.

Keep up the good work

[scotty110788]

Previous owner did it, that was pick from when I got it, here it is now, subframe is a bodge job so it's coming off and getting redone : ) just organising everything atm and sorting out what needs done and cleaned etc..

OK that looks rather uncomfortable ... Y'know for anyone with a ... ahem ... package.
Sorry, Ms Tigerclaw here says "sweet" to everything.

Cool.

[ShowBizWolf]

Haha Buddha now now I meant sweeeet to the tank paint!

And to be fair, I did inquire about the seat comfort/squeezing the beans in this thread right here...

...but I got ignored by the person who posted the thread   

[The Buddha]

No we dont like to consider threads from people without beans about squeezing the beans. It seems like they're squeezing us for ... well ... information.
But however yes on all counts.
Cool.
