[retro]

Hey guys since i have now sourced all the parts i need for my motor i thought i would start a build thread.

Here is how she sits atm

Hi retro!
Always like a build thread.
Always learning something new from them.
Looking forward.

Looking forward to to see how it goes.

[Good Times]

Looking forward to watching the build. What's the plan for the bike? Restore, customize, etc?

Great bike. Looks like an '82. Lots of potential there.

Tuning in Wassa... when you're done you'll have to come riding with us!

[retro]

won't be a fast build guys have a KZ440 twin on the bench ATM that i have to finish to sell but that will help finance this one as well

as for style won't be stock but no major frame mods either just start at the front and work back from their and see how she styles up from their.

If Tim (landshark) is still around he's got a GS1000 and is down your way somewhere... only managed to catch up with him the once so far though and he was in the 4WD...

[retro]

cool will try and sort something out

just sold my gt550 to help pay for mods on gs so shes out the door on sat

(evil grin) unless i buy a old police bike ive just been offered XJ900 mmmm

oh if you didn't know my part time work is buying and selling old pre 90s bikes

i love my second job

[Guest]

Aaaah your second job sounds quite awesome! When I have funds I'll be in the market for a Kat... that'll be a while away yet...

[retro]

get a few of them but mostly the 650 750 ones mate
but yes let me know i get atleast 5 to 10 calls a week on bikes but can't buy em all

got a xs650 two weeks ago and sold it within 4 days lol love those old bikes but just to dam small

[Guest]

Nice! And yeah the 650's and 750's always seem to be around... but I'm leaning towards an 83 or later 1100 at the moment but that all depends on what happens. As I said I'm a while away from that

LOL get this was told the parts missing where as previous threads just took starter motor cover of mm what's inside and starter motor and guess what else it works ggggrrr have one in the mail on the way up. Some times POs are a pain in the A s lol

well we have compression
Comp test done as is with old oil 145 - 145 - 150 - 135 psi from left to right

waiting on carbies and clutch basket to arrive to be installed so i can see if she wants to run.

then its time to strip her down and start cleaning and modifying

Hahah bloody typical!

Those figures look pretty good for an engine that's been sitting... should be good once you get some life in there!
