end of wiring.

last bits of wiring, to fucking busy, doing work, living life. no time for building.

finally did some last wiring, everything under the seat is ready, whats left is the headlight. only abouth 1 hour for finishing it. I wish i had more time.

even found my shovel with a flat tire. damned .

wiring.

Some nice pushbuttons in the triple trees.
1 for starter and 1 for the horn.

Yesterday i started wiring, its something i hate but when i am doing it i'm starting to love it. I found a simple diagram on the net (thanks to wally) and i startet puzling. I'm using all the old wiring but what i don't need has to leave.

No gear indicator for this bike, who needs them anyway.

just full throttle.

I made a stainless steel plate under the seat, where i put my battery en all th components, and then i started wiring.

cool choppers.

Why o why, why a caferacer? Damn,

surging for parts for my gs i found some beautiful pics of gs choppers.
3 times hardtail, 2 times gs 850, never knew you could build a perfect chop of a gs. Always thougt you need a cb 750 or a xs 650.

But one thing i know for sure , the next one will be a chopper.

Maybe i change my mind after riding my caferacer. Will see.

the building

rebuilding, i made some new light-brackets, and started with the front.
normally its less is better, but on a caferacer you need 2 meters.
that's my opinion.
lightbrackets are aluminium, made at work on our cnc punch machine.

i think the rims look great , just like the brakedisc's.

paint.

New paint.

yes i know, the frame looks black.

Actualy it's a kind of grey, black metallic. It sparkels in the sun. Even the rims sparkle, The idee was to let them be the original colour, black. but wen i started polishing them, i figured it was a better idee to remove all the paint, and spray them grey.

Everything is done by ratlecan.

nothing beats a ratlecan paintjob.

speedholes

i thougt the disk were to heavy, so i drilled a lot off hole's in it.

first i made a model on our cnc machine at work. and then i started drilling. 150 hole's.I also painted them grey. i hate black. 2 disc's done, 1 to go.

nice detail, 1 left, 1 right.

new seat.

yesterday i bought a new seat, or ass as we say here.

it doesn't fit corectly, but with a little work it will look great.

gs550 project BARHANGER.

A few weeks ago i found a old gs 550 on the net,

i tought it was a great idee to build a caferacer of it.

So i offert him some money and i picked it up.

lets see what we can do with it.
