1978 GS1000 Skunk Rebuild and Mods

[Rijko]

i believe that's an Eikoh Zero seat.
But i have not even been able to confirm the brand yet :-/

I actually have your bike on here twice, pre-mod and modded
Love your bike, i will be building something similar.
Anyone got more info on this seat, please let me know.
Especially if you have one for sale

I thought that was the 3 spoke that was temporarily fitted....... thank you steve.

Earlier in the thread he mentions that the rear wheel is from a CBR600F3.

So what rear wheel is that in the 1100 swinger? Im having a hard time finding the right wheel to replace the stock mag in mine. Its pig heavy (as everyone here knows...) and need something to match my 2011 gsxr750 front end.

Big T.....keep an eye out for it and post a pic if you see it out. The new owners name is Big Steve.

Okay

The FFMC spring opener is in 5 weeks and I'll expect to see it there

I'd lose the fairing. Looks ungainly. I like the GS living large in what looks like CO. Nice bike. Looks good lowered.

This is a great bike. Saw you had it on Craigslist. Still have it? Or did someone local to Ohio buy it?

Nice work onr the 1000 and the cb.
I have myself a cb350 racer, I hope to find some spare time to finish it and to do a few VRRA rounds.

Thanks.....you should post a few pics of the cb350 race bike.

I've been following your buld. Have it bookmarked for reference when I start the restomodification of my skunk. My tank has pin hole leaks and I'm convinced to try the caswell kit. I was going to try brazing it.
The bike looks great. Motivating me to get cracking on mine.

Caswell tank kit is an amazing product. I was skepitcal about it......having never used a tank liner kit and didnt want to create a bigger problem. Its been over a year and a half with fuel in it and not one issue. I'm all for welding or brazing a tank first and foremost.....but sometimes.....the Caswell kit is a better solution. It was in my case.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the bike....appreciated!
