    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!!!!

        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.

            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?

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

                    Split the cases to trade cranks for the 1150.
                    Enjoy the pics

                                There appears to be way too much room in that shop!
                                Who's the "helper" and how do you pay him? In Suzuki parts?
