For Sale: 1981 GS550 Chopper Project This project was started about 12-14 years ago. I hate to see it go but I just don't have the time or see myself fully finishing this in the future. Custom rigid frame, Mustang tank flipped upside down, split and narrowed with Triumph oil tank caps. The coils are actually hidden between the two tanks. Stainless horseshoe battery box, stainless sissybar and seat pan made to fit but needs to be covered. Custom hand made forward controls with spoon pegs you'll never find for a GS550. These forward controls have the ability to be foot shift/hand clutch or foot clutch/hand shift. Pictured is the hand shift setup using the original shifter flipped up, and a second brake pedal modified to act as a foot clutch. Frame is smoothed and welded, stamped seams are gone. The wheels are RARE GR650 Tempter aluminum 16 Rear/19 Front with brand new tires. Rear fender was radiused to match the wheel and trimmed and blended for chain clearance. Top triple tree is smoothed, filled and polished for a slick look. Bottom tree is ready for a Bates bottom mount light. This bike comes with a TON of extra collected parts like clutch/basket, carbs, extra forks, nice shorty mufflers, etc. It pains me to see my early college project I cut my teeth on at Pratt in Brooklyn, but I'm hoping it can go to a good home that'll finish it. My dad's estate has more sentimental projects I want to hang onto, so I'm selling this bike. Hell, I think this is the second stainless sissybar my dad and I ever made. Cat eye taillight for the sissy bar is included. It did run, and ran well, it's just been sitting. Needs wiring and bungs welded in the tank for petcocks. Can provide more pictures upon request. Clean NJ title in my name. Asking $800. #chopperswapper

@fuelcleveland was a blast! It felt really good being back since 2018! It was a bit of a white knuckle drive towing a heavy trailer from NJ to Ohio for the first time. I definitely pushed the limits of my '93 F150 climbing the long hills of PA. @nick_fortuna and @corinnenj were great travel companions watching my back the whole way out! Thankfully we made it in one piece and the truck didn't blow up so that was nice. Hale Farm and Village is a fantastic spot to host a motorcycle show. So much history combined into a few acres. I didn't take nearly enough pictures but did score some parts for maybe the clone Sportster version 2.0. Saturday had some rain in the morning but that didnt stop the show! Sunday the weather was perfect and Kate and I even snuck in a last minute interview for @thecrazygentleman podcast! Thanks for the opportunity Rob! Big special thanks to @mikeyrevolt and @starlasaz and the whole @lowbrowcustoms team for putting on another unforgettable and incredible event. Here's a few snaps of some of my favorite machines from Fuel.
