Got a little more done today. Installed a new drive sprocket and o-ring chain, chain guard, rear fender, rear master cylinder, center stand, battery box, wiring harness and the electrical plate.
Of course, the stainless brake lines arrived a day early, without the rear line! Oh well, I've got plenty to keep me busy! Hope to get the rear section assembled this week.

When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!

Made a little more progress today. Trying to do something every day so I don't start getting lazy(ier) about it! Got the coils and horns mounted. Waiting on the Deoxit to arrive to start cleaning connections.

Rear stainless brake line finally made it here! Got it installed and the rear brakes bled.

Thanks! I'm hopeful that it will turn out as well as my 1978 GS1000. If it does, I'll be one happy camper!Originally posted by rphillips View Post

That's turning out to be a beautiful job. We may have to discuss a trade down the road. I think you would look good on a 19 year newer bike made by some of the best engineers in Germany.

Got some more painting done and cleaned up most of the electrical connections this afternoon. Waiting on bearings, and then I can start putting the front end on it!
Geez, sometimes it seems like this is taking forever!

Hey, just wondering your thoughts on those anti-dive units? Many have thought they were useless and think the bikes will be just as good, or better off, with them removed or blocked off. No doubt for being completely original they got to be there.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment
