Guest repliedTeardown photos
Both this pictures were taken last year but I wanted to give everyone the benefit of seeing how the teardown had progressed.
Enjoy.Leave a comment:

Guest repliedI should point out that living so far in the Northeast, unlike a compass, my bikes are always pointing south. Therefore, that makes the Atlantic side on my left, thus the left coast, and the warm Pacific my right coast. Also, I was raised in Kansas so being from the middle of nowhere, I don't know difference between going left or right most of the time.Leave a comment:

Guest repliedAbout $400 each way. I got a quote from a freight handling company online and then all I had to do is crate it up and drive it to a nearby Yellow Freight terminal. I found a couple of shops on the left coast but Rapid Ray said if I sent it to the right coast that after he gone through it that it would do warp speed in first and past third gear it would do ludacris speed.

Guest repliedIt looks like you started with a nice looking bike.
Many improvements. It should move on out...
How much does it cost to send a GS engine coast to coast?
How did you ship it?Leave a comment:

GS12OOSS Clone
Hey all. Along with my tomato colored ’82 Katana rebuild, I like to introduce my ’83 GS1100E. This is a full resto-mod but I don’t think I will take it all the way to concours d'elegance condition. I want this to be purpose built for early Sunday morning twisty driving in and around the Connecticut River valley and my daily driver with a wee bit of attitude. I like the look of the GS1200SS, the bike that never made it to US, so this is my attempt to create one, sort of, from a GS11OOE using part and pieces I can scrounge up on eBay, craigslist, and various depositories of vintage Suzuki parts.
This was a high mileage bike and the guy I bought it from seemed to enjoy wringing it out. Not that I am against that but now that it’s my bike, well I feel like I have in some way been violated.
The plan is restore and modify using mostly if not all Suzuki parts. The parts I have collected for this build includes a swingarm from a Bandit 1200, the front forks is from a ’93 GSXR 1100, GSXR three spoke rims, and a front cowl from a ’90 GSXR. I hope the cowl looks good but I leave that to the court of GS public opinion and ridicule. I am keeping the original train-size light just in case the GSXR cowl mod looks too JC Whitneyish.
As for the engine; in an effort to help revive the economy with my money, I am going to have a lot work done on it. The engine was yanked out in my garage with my bare hands and was crated and sent to Rapid Ray who either replaced, reconditioned, reworked, or waved his magic wand over for the following:
Case studs
Cylinder studs
High volume oil pump gears
Cams
Slotted cam sprockets
Engine gaskets
Engine seals
Cam chain
Cam chain tensioner
Piston kit, Wiseco, 1166
Cylinder boring
Performance valve job
Porting
Valve springs
Used clutch hub in good shape
Clutch hub nut
Heavy duty clutch hub build
Hot tank cleaning engine parts
Surface cylinder head
Face & back cut 16 valves for increased airflow
Dynojet jet kit
4 carb rebuild kits with all O-rings
Ultrasonic clean, rebuild & jet carbs
Top end oiler
I got the engine back and the bike is slowly getting sorted back together. Here are some pictures of the teardown and I will post some pictures as it is turned into a roller.
Here is what I started with.
