Project 700ES

What bike did you select to order that sprocket? I checked out their site, and obviously they list newer bikes.

It uses the same bolt pattern as the 98 Bandit

Sprocket

Got the Vortex Sprocket today and polished up the hub, went with the stock 530 43 tooth stock set up.

do VandH still do those at all ....are they still available anywhere in the states

Not sure, you may have to call V & H, this was listed on Ebay as a new leftover

Should have the carbs back next week, went with a stage three jet kit (thanks Chef!!) and K&N pods. Picked up this Vance & Hines 4/1 exhaust a few months back on Ebay (new in its original box..Thanks Ed!!) Can't wait to hear it!!

i can see reflection of the rest of the stuff in the garage, that turned out really good

Keep the pics coming..can't wait to see it when its finished.

one more

Wheel mocked up , no rotor or sprocket yet.

Close up

Here are some close-ups, the cloudiness to the right is a reflection

Can you post a closeup of the PC job on the swingarm? Curious to see what kind of finish you're getting from a pro.

thx,

Awesome project, jwhelan. Nice to have a well-documented (and pictured) project to watch, especially when I'm going to be doing the same on (essentially) the same bike.

What kind of deal did you work out with Reproduction Decals on getting the vinyl done? They don't have anything for the 83 GS750ES either, I've been throwing around the idea of trying to find a willing owner of a nice one to send their stuff to Reproduction Decals to get something made for that bike.

Again nice work so far, can't wait to see it done.

Decals are completed

wheel

Got the swingarm and brake stay back from the powder coater, had the rear tire mounted, waiting on the rear sprocket..

not much to look at

Tore off the carbs and the airbox, just an FYI ..I had to cut the box up to remove it ( you were correct Mr Rapid Ray ). Removed all the engine covers for polishing

Awesome. Cant wait to see the results.
