gs1000 + sv650 = gsv1000pos pics fixed!! 雄牛

Re: 1980 gs1k + 2k sv650 = gsv1000rr?

thanks for all the kind words..just packed it in for the night, looks like im gonna have to get a stator for it. I tried to see if i could get the one from the sv to interchange, but no dice...they're completely different.
 
Re: 1980 gs1k + 2k sv650 = gsv1000pos

lol, well with as much stuff as you have managed to swap over from one bike with very little modification something was bound not to work. If it had been a 4 instead of a v-twin then you prob would have had more luck with that stator.

We have a rear set! These are the sv ones, and were bent to shit! I was able to get em in a vice and bend em back.

nope still the same pos wheel.. its gonna be the last thing I buy, unless I can straighten it.
 
Re: 1980 gs1k + 2k sv650 = gsv1000pos

yeah it is. i love the overall stance, height of the tail and length of the swingarm. looking aggressive, fast and streetbike-ish.
 
Re: 1980 gs1k + 2k sv650 = gsv1000pos

Another poser shot so you can see the front more.

Open for ideas on a paint scheme. I'm anti anything shiny, and hate chrome.
 
Re: 1980 gs1k + 2k sv650 = gsv1000pos

Ive been going over paint schemes lately with a friend of mine for his bike. some decent ideas we've come up with have been blue and gold, with shades of color kind of like an old subaru wrx sti. or blue and copper. if we do the blue and gold, we're going to brass electroplate a bunch of the little bits to give them a very durable gold-ish finish. if we go blue and copper we're just going to paint them with copper color bar-b-q paint because we dont want it to turn green if we use real copper and electroplate it.


of course ive always been a fan of low-gloss black.

pbr and 101 wild turkey?! we need to hang out.


Im looking forward to seeing this tank when its finished. having a hard time really picturing how its going to look as a completed project.
 
Re: 1980 gs1k + 2k sv650 = gsv1000pos

Ah...love it man! But why is the Wild Turkey unopened?

You should take inspiration for paint from your booze. I know that goes without saying, ;D , but what I mean is... cream/red/brown would look sick.


Oh, and Julian is a bad ass. Love that show!
 
Re: 1980 gs1k + 2k sv650 = gsv1000pos

yeah...about that no....fuck hangovers...maybe tomorrow. I do like the idea of the wild turkey paint scheme....looks like that'll do er
