Why yes they are looking up!
I've also got a line on a good looking set of cylinders to go along with freshly repainted cases. First I need to make a few wooden panels I can bolt on to protect the cases innards and passages from the blasting media.
Have you seen Flyboys newest acquisition? http://www.ebay.com/itm/suzuki-gs-11...sories&vxp=mtr
Very similar to shipping your windjammer. Only one slight exception, there's a bike still attached to it!

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

I haven't yet found the spec's for the cam chain. But I guarantee it's still in good shape by the way the tensioner responded.
The crank after I washed it up and wiped it down with oil.

I've committed to buying both of these item off of Ebay. Just waiting for a grand total.
I figured for the money, it would be easier to clean the new one and sell the old set to recoup some of the costs.Comment

Nothing wrong with the old ones at all, at least nothing a little white sugar sand can't take care of.
Just wanted the new ones because they were nice, clean and dirt cheep. If He would have had the head for sale and in similar condition, more than likely I would have bought it as well.
Me like Fuel resistant pieces...
***edit***
Plus, a new wrist pin with shipping would have been almost as much as those four pistons cost.Last edited by rustybronco; 05-10-2012, 10:17 AM.Comment

Get 2 bottle of MR Clean and a tub big enough to submerge the head and jugs ( seperately of course ). Put the 2 bottles of MR Clean in and add the part. Fill with water till covered and let them sit a day or two. The gunk will almost melt off and just some little scrubbing here and there with a tooth brush will get the knooks and crannies. Rinse with the hose ( or power washer / car wash even better ) and blow dry with the air hose. Ready for the hone and some bead blasting at that point. Suzuki also makes an engine degreaser that kicks Gunk engine cleaner square in the groin!!!Last edited by chuck hahn; 05-10-2012, 10:21 AM.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

That Crank looks sexy...Comment

Yeah it do look perty!
And the camshafts that 'just' arrived in the mail, I suspect will look as good as the crank.
