I figured I'd start a build thread here, cause this is my favorite forum [cl

I'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:

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!

And now for me to do my thing.

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.

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.
