Message: <blockquote data-quote="jmlcolorado" data-source="post: 369568" data-attributes="member: 6855">I figured I'd start a build thread here, cause this is my favorite forum [clI'm helping out an friend chop up his 1981 GS1000. He's been sporting it for a while till he decided what he wanted to do to it. He decided to tear it down this winter and I duping urged he better haul it to my garage so I can knock out the fab work before I get more busy. So here goes nothing:<img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-33.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-34.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-35.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Here's how I got it. He did the PITA work of removing all the parts and pieces. Kinda nice to start this way, gotta say! <img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-36.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-37.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And now for me to do my thing. <img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-38.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />We decided to do a 3" stretch on the swingarm. It will be hard tailed, and the neck raked. It IS a chopper after all  So off comes the swingarm and a million measurements taken so assure it's all square once I weld it back together. <img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-40.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-41.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I like how the factory installed the adapter pate for the....uh.....thingy a ma bobber. Not sure what it's called. Final drive? So I cut the factory weld to reuse it. <img src="http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/jmlcolorado/Mobile%20Uploads/photo-42.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
