1230

[Guest]

Wouldn't be a west coast rally if Bill didn't put his bike together the week before...

I do believe you're thinking of Jim.

Here she is!
Needs cleaned and painted but it's a finely tuned machine!

[Guest]

This is what I did
Soldered in the Honda R/R
Soldered in the Dyna 2000 with Dyna green coils
Soldered in the coil mod relay
chain and sprockets (I have a decent 530 chain and rear 42 tooth sprocket)
New rubber
Progressive fork springs and rear shocks
Pingle petcock (thanks for the adapter plate Josh!)
Travelcade seat
Of course put in a fresh 1230 motor
Putting new cables all around on tomorrow
Installing a cruise control
AND a K&N vent filter

Paid off the chassis yet? It is looking good. Handling better than the L? Ray.

[Guest]

Still playing the jetting game.
Needle fourth up from the bottom.
Main jets Mikuni 150 for cylinders 2&3-147.5 for cylinders 1&4

Installed an exhaust overhead oiler since I ate up my .340 exhaust cam and some rockers. (Thanks Allen!)
The bike actually runs cooler with a leaner setup and the oiler.
Runs awesome!!!

Hope that oiler serves you well! I really didn't see any point on having that oiler on my stock 1100E . By the way, that oiler is an old school Ward Performance as I've been told.

I would love to make a trip down to California whenever I get my GS road ready. Next year for the Reno Rally???

Looks very good! We need more pictures....

Took her out yesterday and whipped it a bit.
Pulling the front off the ground easily. Front tire dancing around in first, second and third.
This is fast enough for me and is the engine I was looking for.
Now to sync the carbs and clean it up.

Hey Bill,

You running .340 cams on both sides? What kind of oil are you using?

Soon since I fried the .340 exhaust cam so I'm running stock (exhast only) at the moment. I run Castrol 20/50. I also just installed a topside oiler. My bike actually runs around 30 degrees cooler. Not tested in the dessert yet though!

Here is a slide show splitting the cases for the 1150 crank to install a Wiseco 1229 kit.
I'll post more pics once I get the cylinders and piston kit from the machine shop. At the same time I'll pic up the new head.

Looking good there Chef.
