awesome video man, im thinking of getting the same system myself secondhand for around $1400 but i cant get myself to pull the trigger because of the price. i have a 2024 xsr

How has it held up 2 years on?

wow!

where did you get all your parts? one big kit? all O rings and gaskets?

That came out excellent. What's that black plastic material you are bending with the heat gun ~12:50 ?

This is a really good video on how to prepare for your own custom seat pan on any bike. I found your video as I'm looking to do something similar on a 78 BMW r100 I just picked up actually the last 3 days I've watched tons of videos for doing several different customized parts and I have to say your video is very informative and concise and has good advice on the products you'll need. It was short and to the point. Thank you I really appreciate your effort in posting this.

Nice job. Quite creative also.I love that cutout you made in the seat. Its going to have a really cool look once the upholstery goes on. Thx for the ideas.

Cool

This is awesome

I was thinking of doing this as well, how is it holding up after 2 years? Thanks!

Good video new subscribe

Loving this build! It's been a year. Can't wait to see the finished result. When you get it done, you should do a POV ride along

Thanks bro, love from Indonesia 😊

Those screws that look like Phillips are actually japanesse industrial standard (jis) I recommend getting a set they work alongside better than Phillips

Love your work bro, You are doing great :)

Bro this is like a van Gogh or the Mona Lisa of seat pans! Truly not just saying that. You've inspired me to stray from welding one!

How do you know how much bigger you need to go on the jets? I have a 79 gs 850 and I put a K&N airfilter on it and ill be removing one of the baffles in the exhaust

One of the best no nonsense videos I've come across.(I'm fussy, x mechanic).Well done.

Nice work! I just picked up an 82 GS550 that was sitting in the back of the sellers garage since 1992. Got it running this week (carbs cleaned and rebuilt) so now it’s time to tear it down and make it my own (cafe, scrambler, etc). Your videos are a great inspiration.

Just found this channel. Looking forward to the next video 👊

Hi Mike! I’m rebuilding a 77 gs550 of my own, and I am currently stuck on trying to decide what kind of sealant to use for closing up the crank case, the clymer manual recommends a “non-hardening, non-silicone sealant” but I can’t seem to find anything like this still being made. I’ve looked into some yamabond 4 and 5 however, 4 is silicone based and 5 seems to be hardening, I don’t want to cement the thing shut, but I don’t want it to fail either, I’m thinking of going with yamabond 4 regardless of the silicone base. Any advice or recommendations of what you used for this? Thanks!

Awesome job!

Nice, this just jumped into my feed...... Subscribed!!! only 478 Subscribers!? think that will change :)

hi mike, i have a suzuki gs500, and i am chercing to do the phase, but on the flywheel there are many marks, which ones should i follow? (i have on mine the letter T the letter F and the number 4)

Awesome Cafe racer build

Yeah it’s hard with that stupid metal arm. A fuckiing pain in the ass is an understatement. I’m going to wrap mine with masking tape on the bottom and hope it helps

I really enjoyed your videos. Keep up the good work!

Your project is looking great, proper cafe racer lines and proportions, very difficult to find this days that everybody is “building” cafe racers that looks like anything but cafe racers. Good job, keep it up!!

Nice! You make it look easy👌

This is a dope build. Have you seen The Illistrator's channel? I've got an 80 Garelli SSXL I want to convert to a motorcycle, 50cc just not gonna cut it. I want to find a Yamaha Blaster or Banshee 2T to stuff in it.

I like your style, check out my Diecycle if you get a chance.

Nice job Mike, keep them coming buddy. From UK.

Wow. I like the video showing the process. Really nice.

Looking forward to see more of your talents, how has the exhaust wrap held up on the GS550? Thank You for continuing to post video.

I need to come to the garage and photograph you on your main bikes.

Nice to see you again.

Nice, my 78's needs rebuilt as well. You take on projects?

Did you disable the AIS?

Why did not you download/install the PC map for the Akra Full system ?

For anyone wanting to take out the valve shims on these, it can be easier to lever the tappet downward with a large, flat blade screwdriver, then insert the tool to hold it down while you change the shim (it's quite easy to make your own holding down tool from a piece of 1/4" gauge flat bar if you don't have the special tool)

Can I see a picture of it after you run it for a few weeks to see if there are any defects?

Very informative. I have a 1982 Suzuki GS650G that's burning oil and your vid inspires me to take it apart and replace rings, guides, etc.

So how is this holding up? Any melting issues? Cheers

Hoping you continue to share your talent with us here on TH-cam, I enjoyed the build and your reporting style during your interview. Wishing You and Your Loved Ones a Very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a Blessed 2022 for you.

Great work. Love the content

Great vid, thanks! I’m going to send my ECU in for flashing, so it’s really helpful to see someone remove one💯👍🏽🦾🏍

Can you put the link of the carbon fiber? I would like to buy some! Thanks.

I just bought a 1980 GS550E and like the other guy I was wondering where you got the parts but I was also wondering where you got the book that you are referring to.

thanks for the info bro i'm about to do this same mod to my xsr as well
