Post a picture of your custom GS

[OldVet66]

Looking at your avatar I just thought you know God must ride a GS. Thanks for the comments. The Delkevic has made it a sweet ride and the complement Larry McBride made about it gave me a swelled head but all I did was bolt the header in place and tweak the carbs a little.

That is cool. Nothing like a compliment from one in the know.

It was nice. Larry is one heck of a nice guy. The GS1000E was his bike back in the day so when he told me I had it running as well as it could with factory carburetors I figured I had done a good job of assimilating information from GSR over the years. THANKS ALL! His shop is only several miles up the road from me, and each time I pass I think of the other two GS1000 motors motors sitting in the garage. I hope I can afford a big bore motor from him some day with flat slides. He won't cut any corners, insists on a clean build through and through so it would probably cost more than My Daughter's new Honda on the low side, but one can always dream.

Best Motorcycle at show.

First place! day 1 at the BAFM car show in Barrie, Ontario.
Amazing how these old bikes are so popular and so many people I have talked too at one time or another has owned 1 or knows someone who does. Truly a great era for bikes. Think I'll start looking for a bigger bike from the 80's as well.

Congratulations!

I haven't posted in a while but I'm getting close to finishing my 82 1100E. Too bad the riding season is almost over. Still a bunch of small things to finish so I'm hoping I can get a few riding days in.

Wow! Don't be such a tease.
We need some more pics/info on that brute.

[RedLiner1100]

The bike is a 82 that I fit an 81 tank and bodywork on.

Here is where she sat before I had decided on the final layout for the exhaust and missing a few other odds and ends. Front forks are 2012 Hayabusa with 2010 GSXR 1000 lower clamp, Cognito Moto upper, 2007 GSXR 750 wheel and axle and 2006 Yamaha R1 calipers with custom spacers. Master is a Accossato PRS with Core lines on Driven carbon fiber bars and LSL risers. Headlight brackets are Spiegler 50/55mm. Mirrors are CRG Arrows.

The swingarm, shock, linkage and 5.5" wheel is off a 2007 GSXR 750 with a 48 tooth 530 Supersprox sprocket. Tires are Bridgestone Battle axe BT-016 front and rear. Rearsets are Woodcraft for a 2009 GSXR 1000.

The engine is pretty much stock for now other than the 2.25" stainless mid pipes to Yoshimura slipons, RS36 carbs, Uni filters and a Dyna 2000 ignition with 2.2 coils. The cams will most likely get replaced this winter with Web .348's and port work on the heads.

The electronics are mostly Motogadget with a Motoscope Pro dash, M-unit, M-button, M-switches, M-lock, M-pin signals, Antigravity 16 cell battery and a Shindengen R/R.

I'm still working on the battery box and the layout of the wiring, seat pan and a few other small things. The paint on the tank is nice other than a few small dents I'm going to see if I can get removed. I'm thinking of painting the tail and side covers black and leaving off the strips. That will probably wait until this winter.

Redliner, I love it. The dual Yoshi cans look great. I remember when you joined, gave some basics about your planned build, then fell off of the radar. Definitely keep us in the loop!

[RedLiner1100]

I had hoped to finish a lot sooner but with a busy summer and buying more parts for the bike than I planned and ot at work to pay for them I am running behind. I probably still have probably a month of work left in it to get it ride-able. That is if I don't have any too many issues getting the tuning sorted out. The good news is I have pretty much everything I need to finish it other than the upholstering the seat. I'm still waiting on two M-switches but they should be in in a week or two.

[nvr2old]

Great looking resto-mod. Well done. Can't wait to see the finished bike.

[edgeofvamp]

Redline1100, that is an amazing looking bike.
Are you leaving the engine polished to make it a focal point or is there paint in the works for the future?
Where did you get the headers/midpipes or did you get them made?
