So I'm new to whole cafe racer/custom bike build scene. But I figured I would just jump into it since I lover turning wrenches. I have a 1980 GS1000G that my dad gave under the pretense of just get riding again. That was in 2009. Since then I have put all of 500 miles on the bike. Family, military and normal life just got in the way. A buddy bought a new ninja 600 last week and so decided to put the pressure on for me to ride with him. Here is the bike before tear down.
