I thought LED brake lights were illegal here in Australia. Great bike. This is the closest I'll ever get to a bike again since the divorce. So thanks heaps for sharing the video. Cheers mate.
Nice job, really like the gs550. I'm an Aussie living here in the UK now, and am looking to start building some bikes here this year. Gonna need some of that merch.
Thats good to hear Martin. You can get merch in our online store direct, or from our TH-cam channel. Make sure you check out our parts for builders aswell.
Just seen this, that is one fantastic bike well done. I was thinking of copper accents on my black gsx4f but wasn't sure about taking the plunge. I like it.
Thanks man, the 650 has a slightly different frame to this one so don’t take my word it will work. This is a Ducati 749 swing arm. I have a heap of detail on the blog linked in the video notes
Perfect build,just picked up a 85 model and got it running and wanna remove air box and run pod style filters on the two carbs but they are oval? Can you shed any light on subject on od carb size or where I can find filters?
Good question Mitch, this particular GS is the 4 carb katana model. The twin carb models are a little more difficult. I would suggest two options. 1. Replace the carbs with an upgraded Mikuni or Keihin set. 2. Use the existing air box boot to modify/fabricate a carb boot that was suitable for a round pod filter. You can check out our website for DNA pod filter sizes
Hey Jimmy, The bearings needed to be replaced but that was it. If you read the blog on my site I go into a bit more detail. I was able to keep the triple clamps as is and maintain good rake/trail because I also heavily modified the rear suspension.
Oooooh! a bearded guy and a coffee razor! Very original ! It looks so rough and unique ! And it also has a brown seat !!! And riding in a t-shirt and no gloves is the only way, I must admit. But why wear a helmet ???
You're going to love the rest of our stuff, I get a few more tattoo's and piercings in later episodes. Thanks for watching Champ, make sure you like and subscribe.
@@PurposeBuiltMoto come on guys look at all the custom bike videos he has posted up he clearly knows what he is on about and how to build one off custom bikes... Maybe we could all get matching butthole tattoos, hold hands and dance in a circle and praise our lord and savour Edouard the Great!
Very cool looking bike😎 All the copper work looks great 👍
Thanks Mike, This bikes still me most ridden!
Nice bike Tom, Love the simple no fuss style you seem to have.
Jim Allen thanks Jim, that’s a great compliment. All killer no filler

I had a gs550 L back in the day and loved it. Overbuilt motor if ever these was one 👍
breathestrongcycling so, so true and I love it 🤘🏽
Great looking bike. I’m about to buy my own gs550, but I couldn’t find a build using a mono shock. Thank you again!
Richmighty 1 it’s a pretty heavy mod for most people, but definitely possible man
Purpose Built Moto ; thanks for the encouragement!
Just seen this, that is one fantastic bike well done.

It’s hard to keep clean, but worth it!
You make some beautiful bikes mane
We do our best, thanks a lot mate
beautiful bike mate, well done and thanks for the commentary on the build.
Elim Cheng thanks mate
Converting to monoshock on a first build is hardcore bro. But it seriously looks great.
Its a simple job, you just need to take time your first to make sure its done right.
sick bike brother. keep em coming!
ellmatic_oner thank you mate! We’ve always got something in the works!
Man! I've been following you on IG for a while! How am I just now finding you TH-cam channel! Great videos man! Cheers!
Mate! Thanks for the feedback that’s epic 🤘🏽🏍

What model Ducati is that single sided swing arm from? I may be getting a GS650 soon and absolutely love the job you have done with this build!!!
Thanks man, the 650 has a slightly different frame to this one so don’t take my word it will work.
This is a Ducati 749 swing arm. I have a heap of detail on the blog linked in the video notes
I love the build, coolest build i have seen!, how does you put the swingarm in the frame, and line the chain up?🏍

Awesome bike 🏍
Thankyou man !
sorry what main jet size are you running thanks
I am currently building a 77' gs550. Where did you get the triple clamp from? I cant find one that fits, it looks awesome!!!
We’ve done a complete front end conversion on this bike
If you check out the build blog on our website it has a bit more info for you
The music is louder than your voice.
Hi there, did the gsx r750 triple clamps fit without modifications? Thanks Jimmy
Hey Jimmy,

@PurposeBuiltMoto Hey man what type of forks are those on the bike?
Anthony Golabek black One’s Mate ....
Haha check out the blog on my website for all those details.
It’s linked in the video notes
@@PurposeBuiltMoto Ok thanks :) One more question because I don't see it on your blog... What source did you get all the engine parts from?
Anthony Golabek hey mate,
Being an older bike it’s very difficult. Searching online stores and eBay is the best option
Gsxr 750 modern...2005 or around these year...listeni nghe mention it
