gsx450 project

[Miss Montana]

This is my first bike/build, so we'll see what happens!
my beautiful, perfect man Jon(yoda) picked up this little thing from Brisbane to have a play with. Cheers to Jimmy for getting it here!

Here it is when we got it out of the van.. dunno what the go is with the stickers!

And removing some of the aforementioned gay stickers.

So, the plan is strip it, paint stuff, polish stuff, throw a fair bit of stuff in the bin, just the usual! I'm doing as much of the work as Jon can teach me, should be fun!

should be a good toy, i also got a spare bike which may end up as a race bike for giggles..

If anyone has any cafe parts lying about give me a yell, prob want a exhaust at the least.

Sweet, good work so far. Now the fun can begin.

Go Hanna! Told you you'd enjoy getting your hands dirty. It's so satisfying to see your vision coming together, and your 450 is going to be gorgeous when you've finished it.

Can hardly wait to get your cafe racer set up next to Mike somewhere (I think you said yours is an 81 as well?) & see non-Forum peoples faces when they hear that they're the same model bike since they will look so different :D

Yay for the little bikes!

Sharky, pm sent mate. That would be sweet!
