Great looking bikes everyone, I love to see pics of other ideas....and steal them!!! Just kidding I'll ask permission before I steal anyones ideas and give them full credit when I do.
What seat is that man, different looking indeed. I'm looking at red tail leather for my next seat on the XS project I'll be working on.

I'll play.
The "Lil Red" Bike is an 81 GS450L and the 4 cylinder is a 79 GS750. The 450 is pretty much just a hard tail section I made and welded on (no drop cause Nebraska roads are rough) 4.5" stretch, moved the foot pegs forward a few inches, Z bars, stainless steel straight pipes, no added rake, a single shock "pogo" seat, blah blah blah. I know it's a bit small for a bigger guy like myself; but it fuckin pretty quick and I freakin love it!
The 750, I built the frame using the stock neck and the engine mounts, cut out everything else (they have those triple back bones, just plain ugly), an old coffin tank my OL bought me a few years ago, an old Harley king & queen seat, a skinnied up trailer fender, 40 Chevy pick up marker light for a tail light, springer headlight, nothin to fancy cause it was built for traveling. It's a really comfortable riding position, plenty of power and best of all, it's paid for and built by me!
My 2 younger sons on the scoots.
And a few more of the Ol Lady with my scoots.
I know I'm long winded; but I like to talk bikes!

With the z bar. Thinking of installing it again and setting up a remote front master cylinder.

Here's my piece of crap...
The whole bike is on a remote control (remote ignition, remote lights and remote starter).

My little rat chopper.
Seeing all the clean bikes in here make me want to start over! Maybe I am due for a new project.

Mine on the lift and ready to come apart. Threw a rod late in the summer and destroyed the motor so I'm looking at an 849 or 915 cycle x to swap into it for spring. For now the frame and fender will be getting red mega flake powder coat and a mega flake gold tank after a few mods to make more room for fuel. I get 100k max at the moment. Bars, sissy and other bits and pieces going to chrome and ditching the front brake and signals, I'll happily trade em for tickets.
