Introducing: Pandora

[x01660]

Hello to all!!!

So after crashing my first bike (1980 GS1000 G, "The Black Bandit") a couple of months ago, Bill (chef1366) is helping me build (or rather, I'm helping HIM build) my new bike! So without further ado, I introduce Pandora:




















It has a long way to go, but it'll be awesome once it's done... I'm also planning on eventually upgrading the suspension to a 90's GSXR suspension (and brakes), so this thread will be here for a while. But in any case, there you have it! More pics to come...

83 GS1100 ED engine in an 84 GS1150E
Changed clutch basket (thanks blowerbike), clutch gasket, pan gasket, stator cover gasket, installed rebuilt starter with new o-ring, installed 83 cams, good rockers, timed, installed 83 ignition (will wire into 1150) and cam cover gasket. It was engine day. Tomorrow button up frame and install front calipers, brake lines, front master cylinder, headlight ears, headlight bucket and gel grips.
Yesterday I put the center stand on it and rebuilt the rear master cylinder.

That yellow wheel looks familiar. Did you purchase that roller from El Giablo?

Cool, always happy to see another 1150 back on the street. Good luck with the build.

Almost ready to fire up.
Had to change the shift shaft and sprocket cover to go in the 1150 frame. (Thanks Terry!)
Sorted out the electrical and the only thing left is to solder in the stator wires to the R/R.
Installed engine but still have to do the carbs (jet kit and o-rings) and install a nice stock 1150 pipe. (Thanks Kris V)
New tires, oil, filter and K&N pods (Thanks Gordon)
oh and bleed brakes and snug everything up.
eBay is your friend when building these old bikes!
