GS450 Bobber

[Gsbobber]

i recently started bobbing out my 450 and have mostly done what ive wanted to it for now but its an on going project i will upload a bunch of pics to catch you up

this is where my bike started...1982 Suzuki GS450 stock with 11,000 mile
bought of off craigslist for 800$

then i made the decision to make "MY" bike, mine!

i took the engine and carbs off to rebuild them

i only did a top end build of the motor and the camera quit working halfway through but i did get another so im missing some in between photos

before carb rebuild...

after rebuild

rattle can job with matte black

tag and light

homeade seat

drag bars

and since then i have mini apes on, moved the brake light and welded some straight pipes with turn outs on her...pics will come soon! i eventually would like to hardtail the bike. if you have any suggestions, positive OR negative, please feel free!!!

What are you doing with all the pegs? I know the rear bracket holds up the exhaust - but have you thought about forward controls?

Nice work man! I too am interested in hearing how that exhaust sounds. I am at that point in my build where I am not sure what to do with the exhaust and like the look. Stock sucks.
