        This bike is going to be revamped....

        Need an 82-83 frame, and crankcases.

        1170 2.0!!

          Somehow I still own this bike( the 1170)

          Was very close to selling it last year but couldn't strike the right deal.

          Glad I didn't. Since moving to MN a lot has happened, new house/shop, and we just had our first baby last month!

          This bike feels like a big part of my past and I still have the urge to bring it back!

          A friend of mine welded up the crankcases for me.

          Still trying to get a frame for the right price.

          I ended up with some gsxr suspension that I can use also. One of these days I'll start into it....

          Looking back at at this thread I sure appreciate all the help from you all

            Also when I had it running last in a 78 1000 frame, I finally fixed the idle issue that plagued it since I had it. Coil relay mod! Made all the difference.

              Congrats on the baby. I understand about a bike being a big part of ones life. Mine has been with me from being single to, 18 years later, a husband and father of 2, well on my way to boring old guy-dom.....

              Best wishes to the baby.

                Thanks Glen.

                  Have to thank Posplayr for hooking me up with a frame. His bike made the ultimate sacrifice!



                  Hopefully get the frame and wheels stripped and powder coated soon.

                    So here is what I'm thinking. Nothing special really just the parts I have been collecting.

                    1170 engine w/RS38 rack
                    83 frame
                    Raask rearsets that I couldn't use before since they are for an 83
                    Works rear shocks
                    91? GSXR 1100 Forks and wheels
                    Still have my custom cockpit seat from the original bike
                    Bodywork-yet to decide on color but frame and wheels will be black. Black engine & pipe.


                    Need to figure out what makes a these look 'right' with usd forks. I see way to many that just look goofy. Unbalanced.

                    I think Isleoman's bike looks great. Very well setup and that usd front seems to blend well.
