This GS1100 was parked by my Katana. It is really sweet looking. The crappy cellphone pics don't do it justice.

Close it all in with whatever welding ability you have or prefer. I only had my MIG with flux core available this weekend due to a faulty regulator. So it was spot welds. Ugly, but effective.

Careful measuring and lots of eyeballing to get the other side the same dimensions. However, there is a fuel cock on this side!!

I added an extra half inch tube to the top of the cage to fill in the gap a little more. It snugs the frame up to the tank for a better looking fit. This pic also give a good idea of the fuel cock recess and access.

With the tank on for the final fit. I cut the rear as well and ran all tubes so they flow the same lines forming a double V or chevrons, if you will, for the lower portion of the frame.

I will cut and shape the lower tail frame so it smooths out better, then sheet metal it in and begin paint prep. Almost done.

The tail fits the seat very well. After a little filler to smooth out the sharp edges, it will flow nicely.
