Saw this on Instagram earlier, someones daily ride was getting a bit tired. its been modified by Capelos Garage in Porto (portugal) I like it.

Like that and doesn't look over done. Doesn't look too difficult to do either.

Here is the original design.

Oh....haha I'm fairly new to the gs world... built a custom harley though... I thought it was customised from an original gs by the shop...can you buy them factory like that then?!

No, thats the concept rendering by the custom bike shop. The final outcome looks pretty much spot on.

Ah cool...impressive stuff.

Shed of the week?
It's absolutely gopping.
I'd rather walk than ride around on that.

Since when has the GS needed customising, you buy a GS because of its looks and what it is caple of !!!!

if you have nothing good to say, say nothing

I like the tank paint, but that's about it.

That looks like a blind man has been let loose with a pipe bender and a welder.

Is therefore disliking not an option, this web site reminds me more and more of a certain social media network when you can only like .....

At first glance it looks okay.

I do not understand the fascination with token mudguards. They should be there to stop shite going over you, your bike and spraying up into following vehicles. Why then, make them as small as possible, or placed where they're going to me no use at all?

Discuss.

What a mess

I reckon Garagemonkey, or whatever his name was, did a better job on his rat 1100

 

[DutchBryn]

What is the idea behind the over-sized cheeze graters on the petrol tank? Another thumbs down.

 

[Manifold_Burrito]

I agree with the comments, I wouldn't buy one or pay to change my gs, however I do admire the changes in the lines. But hey... what do I know, I own a hardtail harley which is as uncomfortable as hell, but it does look the nuts though, definitely style over substance which is a guilty pleasure. Wouldn't go touring on it though.

I have no mudguard on my custom, slightest bit of water on the road I get covered. Royal pain in the ass...But it looks so much better without one.....guess that makes me an eegit..I laugh in the face of practicality.
All down to the job it's designed to do.
