Very nice bike Joe and great job rebuilding it.

Here is an 85 700 parts bike for sale near you.

Thanks , if I didn't already have a parts bike I would be all over it.

That bike is so trick, Joe. It looks like it's going 100mph just sitting there. Your attention to detail, as always, superb. Seriously, so much work and yet so very subtle. That's what I'm always impressed with.

Inspired by your 1000S

So anything to gain by swapping up to BS 34's versus the stock 32's ?

Engine is only 700cc right Joe? You hammering the bike to the extent where you need to squeeze every last bit out of it?

You might want to look up Billy Ricks and talk to him. Think he has aftermarket carbs on his 700 doesn't he? The right kind of carbs may improve throttle response, which would be a bigger improvement than just going larger.

Good point yes 700cc, this thing runs better than any bike I have owned, probably the reason its still in my garage. However the suspension upgrades make it feel like it could handle much more but will probably leave it as is just ride it. Curious more than anything..

Hi Joe,
I was referred to your thread (the bike is beautiful, BTW) in response to a question I posted about using the 1150 wheels on my '85 750 EF.

I noted that you also switched the triples (for extra width). Was this necessary to use the wheels, or just to get a different feel at the bars?
Thanks for your help!
