This is the 1982-3ish slab sided tank from the GS450 twin.
most of them from memory where silver blue.
Thanks.

Forget it folks Mt Eden came to the rescue yet again.
By the way this is the basic plan.

Nice. Some Dresda-style swept-back headers would just finish it...:niceone:

You wanna go to a drum brake!:eek:

Lets swap front ends! actualy my twin leader will lock up the front wheel and is quite powerfull - but not for long! forks are crap though.

I've seen a Yamy 250 Vtwin parked around Grey Lynn that looks like that,neat little bike.

Just the basic plan Motu,
Got me a set of doubles lined up from a XS1100.
I have a Tarozzi fork brace coming from Oz soon,will be interesting to see how it effects my flexi front.
Iv,e done the mod, to the oil ways in the forks,they are now much more steady than they were,but still flop about a bit.
It,s all coming togeather. :2thumbsup

I just purchased that exact gas tank from a guy on E-Bay auctions. I was given a 73 TX650 which I am turning into a cafe bike. If you're looking to do the same...check out the 650 Society on the web. Lots of good stuff from other 650 owners and rebuilders. Yo,Eh (thats Gaday Mate from a yank in Michigan USA)
