Not a chance in hell.  I love the windscreen, and its probably my favorite part on the bike short of the X1 tail!

thats too bad 

Louie:

hahah I hear it all the time.  The GS is supposed to be a naked bike, but I love a small fairing so I'm torn!

Sledge:

I really appreciate the feedback, sometimes its easier for others to see problems in ones work.  Can you be a little more specific about where you are talking?  I'm not following where you feel that the frame and the tail dont meet?  But seriously, thanks for the feedback!

Nick

meh, it probably keeps the upper body a little less fatigued i'm sure.  When I look at my bike I like the nakedness... sometimes when I ride I wish there was a little something between me the rocks kicked up from cager tires.   

Awesome!  Love that seat cover.  Great work.

Thank you!

So I got some work completed, and am slowly crossing things off the list.  Took her out of the garage for some updated pics of how she sits right now.

Finished the solo seat, and added a leather strap and some cool death spikes!





Got the dash painted and Vaypor mounted, just needs to be wired in:

As always, input is appreciated!

Thanks,

I recommend carburetors...

Lol yeah those are coming at a later time. They need cleaned or inspected and I just can't get around to doing it.

Oh man, this thing is a beast! Amazing job on the solo tail, I like the detail work. That bike looks like it eats barbed wire and other GS500's for breakfast.
It could use some cool bar-ends.

Thanks!  I am really happy with the way its slowly turning out, now just to get it running!

well i must say for learning over the internet i think the solo tail turned out great.  cant wait to see yours next to mine 

It is in no way perfect, but I'm extremely happy with it!  Besides I had some great internet teachers lol

  just buy me a beer when you see me

Sounds like a deal to me!

I love what you've done with the bike!

I especially drool over, the side view foto.

What about a side plastic where the tail meets the frame?
Mmmm... I can't decide if I am for or against... 

I personally love that mesh.  Adds kind of a mad max effect. 

She looks pretty mean. Very cool! It does look like the paint on the tank looks a little inconsistent tho. Are you going to paint it?

I really like the mesh too, not sure why buy I really like how that came out.

The tank is weird, certain angles it looks spotty and others not. Its spray paint so I'm ok with it, I'm not 100% sure its staying that color.

Nick

I love the mesh too.

I meant the lower point where the tail bolts to the frame.
Here are the photos, side by side, to see what I mean.

With plastic cover

That part doesn't really bother me, when I originally altered the frame to mount the tail I had plans to smooth it out a bit but after getting it mounted I wasn't that concerned with it! lol
