Resurrecting a fallen Suzuki...

[Guest]

for a more permanent fix later, a black swingarm mounted fender doesnt look that bad.

[GSX1000E]

What size is the tire/rim on the front of the GSX1100E? 130/70-18?

What was all the crap from the pump screen?
Gaskets and sealant?

That's what it looked like to me. Freaky to see your oil inlet half restricted by crud!

Cooo-oool! I think Rob (azr) posted that earlier this year, and I liked it then. What a wonder some paint and detail work can do. Nice job.
Did i spy a fork seal leaking ever so slightly?

Good eye. They were both weeping slightly, the left more than the right, but seem to have stopped since my longish ride. Maybe they're like Ohlins, they start to cry if sat stationary too long.

Nice looking bike, you have done a great job well done

Snuck out my Project GS for a quick ride today...





... the muffler must have thought that the ride wasn't quick enough since it departed ship along the way!





Luckily, it didn't sustain much damage on its solo trip down the street... just a few scrapes and some minor road-rash on the ends. It's back on the bike now (for how long?!?) but I have to admit, it sounded REALLY GOOD running just the straight pipe on it. Maybe the fiberglass packing needs to mysteriously disappear at some point.

Years ago i was riding my 1100e when things got suddenly loud.....the baffle fell out of the el cheapo Mac exhaust it came with.

Great pictures Dave, that thing looks awesome!

Thanks Rob, I really dig it too! I'm hoping to have it legally on the road soon... er, the above photos were of a professional rider on a closed course, by the way. Yeah, that's the ticket!

The Fourteen is leaving on Thursday so the GS should be ready for a real ride on Friday. Not sure about the muffler however...

I would LOVE to have that as my Hooligan back up...

Great Job, looks awesome!

[Hayabuser]

Thanks!

I had been second-guessing my choice of tank decal recently... I liked it a lot at first but a little less every day thereafter, so was forced to do this today:








Better? Worse? Meh?

Ok, that last pic was seriously blurry... Trevor, teach me the ways of taking good iPhone pictures!!!

Plan to have it out tomorrow to see the new look in natural light.... and to make sure the muffler is secure now!
