    Never mind.

    That was the steering lock tab. But you might need to check the stops too.

            You made it over the pass before the snow I take it?
            Panamint Springs is Death Valley. I guess that you aren't too close to snow right now. LOL!

                Went the back way through Hawthorne and RT 6 to Bishop. It was cold and dreary but mostly dry.

                Did you get the 1100 G back together?

                        Yeah, it'll be a really nice ride home.

                        So does it run better now?

                                    I have a set of brackets to fit Hyabusa 6pots to that fork...

                                    You could have used the GK forks, probably the same technology. The GSXr ones are just damper rod forks too...

                                            The 1176cc (76mm bored/sleeved '78 1000 cylinder) engine parts went into this 1100 bottom end yielding 1198cc's:



                                            That went into this project. My '82 GS1200G :

                                                    And about 6-8 spare engines.
                                                    I haven't checked my inventory lately.
