Cafe project (kinda)

[Mljbone]

‘81 GS650, header wrap and shorty   Mufflers arrive Monday 

[Fazz711]

OMG its even got a brown seat 

[jensvonbustenskjold]

Wow that's neat! I that it's not totally stripped. Almost crouiser like 

[K.H.I]

It's not a old stripped down Brit twin, it's a bike with a brown seat. 

It's not a cafe racer. 

If it is some kind of mobile cafe you will have trouble making fry ups.

[vizman]

Aircooled 

but I do get my panties in a bunch when words are misused, they used to describe the subject matter e.g. bobber, chopper, custom, rat, etc...

...now it just appears you can use them willy nilly...from now on I’m gunna try the same with the numerical system, all my tenners are now twenties, I’m quids in alreadyoff to the for sale section to see what I can now afford, that’s if the pictures match the description or vickyvercky 

[vizman]

I still can’t afford nowt....even if I call my fivers fifties 

[E T]

Why wrap a perfectly good exhaust that will be rotten in about six months once wrapped, hippsters  use it to cover up the shit welding 

[Mljbone]

This is the same bike, I don’t want to completely strip down so I can put it back to “stock” when I want. Hence kinda!

[370steve]

Its your bike, do with it what you must  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But dont wrap the fuckin exhaust FFS 

[Captain Chaos]

what was wrong with the original sidepanels?

Cable-ties don't add hipster points, you know

[vizman]

Exhaust wrap is ok if you soak it in engine oil for a week.....

.....and like crying at traffic lights

If you're feeling skint, I will send you a m6 stainless bolt foc 

[bluedog59]

Everybody hold their horses, it's his bike and he likes it. I can understand why it's been done so it can go back to stock ( there's plenty of people who've dived in with the angle grinder and wished they hadn't ) and it's up and running.  Good on you mate for keeping another OSS bike on the road.

 

 

 

 

And don't,for f*ck's sake, wrap the fuggin' exhaust.

[Blubber]

Amen 

 

Don't scare this Newby to much ... In general the newby skin is still to soft for pure OSS sarcasm or our opinions. 

Diilute and gently rub it in...before you torch him and his project. 

 

 

Ahhh fuck this polite eco friendly PC hippy talk....  The nicest thing I can say about an "L" version is that it's functional at best

You had me worried there for a min, I thought you where going soft on us 

@Mljbonedon't tap the zorst, I did it once and 6 months later there was no zorst left. It's shit 

Not a lover of cafe racers but each to there own, over here cafe racer been done to death like the old standard race rep bike with no fairing and twin lights and they called them a streetfighters  more like the rider can not ride and dropped it in the car park so called it a streetfighter to give himself so street cred 

[Mljbone]

Sorry, totally forgot about the  Uppity eurotrash that saturated these forums between occupations.
