    GS450 - scrambler build

    so i found a rear 17" from a GS550 with disc brake. hopeful that is not too hard to convert... but the front is a problem, i have found 18 and 19. i do not really want 3-spoke wheels. anyone know of a bike with the star type wheels, with a 17/18 front?

    GS450 - scrambler build

    I just got a 1981 GS450L that has ben "cafe-ed" and want to "scramble" it. my question is can i change the stock 16/19 wheels for 17/17 with better brakes on the cheap? barring that 17/18 maybe? i would not be opposed to keeping the rear drum brake, but would like to fit a larger front rotor if...

    yeah that sounds like no fun at all. hope you are alright from the deer accident. I almost bought an 84 standard harness, to swap in, and I kind of wish that I had at this point. I think it would be easier to wire an 86 civic...

    well, if I can get the wiring done, it will get started and revved at least. there is a lot of wiring to a lot of accessories that are no longer there, lol. and I am to the point of trying to wire up the new gauges, and get the wiring right for the CBR switchgear I have installed. problem is...

    pretty cool collection and impressive amount of older bikes you have worked with, especially for a younger person. I like the 80's stuff, can't really get into the 70's ones myself, but 80's-90's bikes seem to be the sweet spot for me. newest bike i have owned was a 2001, lol. I really like...

    Hi, my name is Andrew, and I have been riding for around 10 years. Never got into dirtbikes as a kid, but I rode some quads and 3-wheelers around a bunch (didn't own one, but had family that did). I started on an 80's Yamaha Virago that i borrowed from a cousin for about a month or so, and then...
