    Battleship, She looks just as good now as she did when you finished her, in other words, friggin awsome!
    1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head
    1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017

    I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

              That is a great looking bike! What is the fairing from and how did you mount it?

                1983 GS1100E base bike. 1993 GSXR front suspension with a modified '88-90 GSXR 750 cowl. The clocks are '93 GSXR so the speedometer would match the gearing on the front wheel. GSXR rims (year unknown). 1200 Bandit (year unknown) swing arm. Exhaust was MotogpWerks header and since I crashed the bike once, I replaced his exhaust can with SuperTrapp slip on. I tried to get a new can from them but they never answered my emails or call so I cut their damage can off and added the Supertrapp. The rear shocks are made by Works Performance and I have Supersprox sprockets and chain along with Metzeler Sportec M7 RR tires.

                    Both the handles and clip on were from these guys.

                              Thanks.
                              Working on my bike now, will get about everything his did, except for paint.
                              Brand-new pistons going into freshly-surfaced cylinders.


                              The freshly-surfaced cylinders and head. Machined more for trueness, rather than performance increase.
                              Cylinders only needed 0.002" removed, the head required 0.009".


                              Appointments will be taken after getting home from our "little ride". Allow me some time to finish the construction project in the house, we will have guest accomodations, too.
