Hey everyone just joined the forum - I just placed a deposit on a 1982 GS1100E - I'm freakin' stoked about it. I've been admiring many of the amazing projects on the forums.
I will pick up the bike next week it has some engines mods and I would like to know what there is that I should check to ensure everything was done right.
The bike has a 1260 kit in it I'm told, with Andrews Cams, APE manual cam chaim tensioner, 4 into 1 exhaust, supertrapp, and upgraded ignition. It has a lockhart philips oil cooler installed. It is of course jetted (looks to be stock 34mm Mikunis) - has a K&N filter mounted on the secondary part of the stock airbox. Has a later engine serial number so the crank would have the factory welds. That's about all I can see from visuals and seller info - he was not the one who had the work done - he only discovered it when he went to replace the leaking base gasket.
What should I look for in the head, clutch, or tranny to make sure that everything can handle the fairly high output?
Sorry for the lengthy post - thanks for all the great information you guys put out on these fantastic machines!
