Oi.. Mr Hamster - stop picking on my windshield! You should have seen it before Chef cut it down to fit his bike!

C'mon Dan. I already made the "yank the crank" pun in another thread.

[Dave8338]

did that go over your noggin?

Must have, but I caught it and thought I'de toss it back to him...

Hope that helps, Bill.

Just Yanking your chain.

Jerk'n your Gerkin.

Pound'n ya.

Man, you need a bigger windshield, you could probably have trucks on the freeway draft off that thing!

Good work with the swap. People do stupid things, but... 3 steels instead of a fiber? Wow.

I've been watching the classifieds around here for a steal on another GS1100... not like I need another bike right now, but hey... it's an addiction, right?

Long way to go to "yank the crank"....

Sounds good Bill. How's the Banana engine doing?

Tehachapi? It's like a 30 minute drive for me.
The black motor is running fine. Actually great! Fixed the last oil leak. The starter o-ring. Damn thing was p!ssing on my shoe.

The 1230 kit is becoming reality. Taking the bottom end of the blown motor to Kris V's house on Monday or Tuesday to yank the crank and a stock 1150 crank is waiting on a new home. I already have an 1150 cylinder, a MTC 1230 piston set and Kris has an 1150 clutch hub.
I'll get the cylinder cut and the head looked at and I hope to be running around spring.
Yeah Baby!!!!

Not sure how much time you were sepnding north of the border and started calling GS's GSX's

Anyway, the only concern was if the GSX had an alternator like a GSXR. The GS's have a DC magnet generator and are hyper sensitive to the regulator connections.

Jim, after reading the info, I'm sure that my issue is not related but thats a very good article and something we all need again and again. The GSX is a Katana and does have the same alternator and engine as the GSXR.

Thanks again for the info.
