another GS1100 scoot

Hey all, i'm Adam from KC. This is the progress on my first bike...a $950 1982 GS1100...I haven't quite figured out the forum controls, so pictures will be out of order. lol BTW, this is my first experiance welding too, so be nice plz!

here are a few more pics...out of order of course.

...aaaand more...

a few more...including the "before" picture

I am really trying to be nice, I too used to make side panels, around the time when i first started welding also, today, I refuse to make a side panel, I will only use a stock side panel, and not even modify that, at all!! you soon shall see grasshopper!!!

what kind of issues did you have?

here's a current picture (I'll take more later) Btw, I officially hate the tread-plate side/top covers. the search is on to find OEM covers and re-build the seat mount.

nice. i fuckin love the gs1100s. you makin your seat outta diamond plate?

thanks man, it's been fun! The seat is an old (1970's) springer (minus springs) from a bike my dad had way back when. the diamond plate i made into side covers and a seat tray.
