GPz1100 B1 "butchers block" was created by kzstreetfighter71
I bought this frame about a year ago maybe less, it was small money and came with a title both rare things round here. P.O kinda butchered it up to build a mono shock but thank the Gods he didnt cut off the shock mounts but shaved everything off that mattered. There is some rust wear on the rear mounts but they were cut up bad too so they will have to go too. I'm looking to try and bring it back to a shade of original or as close as i can with what i can fabricate. Where it goes from there... who knows but the title says the bike is green...so that might mean only one thing.

Few well spent hrs and the frame is clean of all rotten and non wanted additions. I kept most of the weld on the upper frame rail, i just blended it in, it will help keep strength there cause who knows how much meat was ground away by P.O. Ill jump on C.A.D and design new mounts when i get a chance.

What i love right now is if anyone has a B1 or B2 frame that they have access too that could help me with a few brackets, as in the rough sizes in "mm" and locations on the frame and clear photos would be a real help too . Like the battery box bracket and the seat clips, ill have to either fabricate from scratch or laser cut but im kinda working blind on them for the most part. Pics below are the ones ill be reinstalling.
