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

Looking great... thanks for saving another one. Some of my best moto memories were on my 83 1100e. I hope to own another one at some point.sigpic

Nice work, Ron.
Personal taste but a bit of patina on the engine covers matches the patina of the rest of the bike.2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

Found a used proper sized rim on E-Bay off of an old Kawasaki Dirt bike. Now that the adventure bike people have figured out how to run spoked wheels with out a tube, I'll be changing them over to tubeless. Tubes are a couple of lbs. of unsprung weight, that if it matters to anyone is hard to do. When or if I ever get off my lazy arse and restart my rebuilds, I'll weigh them before I install them.Originally posted by Suzukian View PostYou can't find 18" wheels that aren't spoke? Spoke wheels really are not worth it if you can buy an 18" aluminum rim. IMHOCurrent Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple

It's good to know something out of that box was useful.Originally posted by 1978GS750E View Post
That's impressive work here, man. 90 days? It takes me that long to find a tool sometimes, haha.

You've saved a beautiful bike. Many happy miles!! I can't believe you could do that much work in 90 days, you've got your act together!

Finally found a rear rack for this one! Had to strip and paint it before I would install it. What a PITA it was to install. You need 4 hands to get everything lined up on these!

I'd love to find a rack like that for my GS750ES. I have a similar, that I had to fabricate tubes to get it to fit, even made a very small back rest (I was riding with y 8 year old son). Extremely useful. I have a couple of Tank Bags, and they can be mounted to these.
