78 GS1000 left for dead

I was just sayin. But based on the pics you posted there is ample room to route them that way and not have them crossing over the cam end covers. Not that it matters because its your bike of course. Just a cleaner look was my point.

Wires get routed between then two tunnels for the cams on the cover. Holders go on the inside cover bolt. Then you just double back then wires onto themselves to plug them onto a plug.

Yes....on a stock bike with factory wires and coils, they do go over the cams and lay on them.
I also need a better headlight ring, as the one on bike is kinda rough

The End for now......





My time here is basically done till spring, then I'll report what has fallen off and why....or ask you guys why things are not working or falling off.
Meanwhile I'll be rebuilding my RGV250/? VJ23.....on www.rgv250.co.uk or Trying to decide how I want to put my GT750 together on www.suzuki2strokes.com

I sat and looked at these for a solid 20 minutes and this is my favourite gs by far

Thank you.....I have a street fighter style CBX, and a AMA style GS already. So it had to be a cool sport tour bike with old school wire wheels.....this is what I came up with.

Plug wires

Busa, please submit that beauty to the Bike of the Month thread.
Did you get a chance to properly ride it before hibernation?
Did you end up dealing with the shop in Canada about your shocks?
Can't believe i am going to nit-pick but what is up with the plug wire routing?

Plug wires.....
Seemed natural....Coils angle back, wires hook to the back side.....just seemed to work/look better



I did submit a couple days ago...but I submitted my Kat and my other GS too with no luck....
Proper ride...no, not yet anyway....about 8miles on it.......I hate cold....
Shocks.....still need shaft rechromed and new seals....haven't contacted anyone, I'll wait till holidays are over now.

Bike won't be getting used much for a while.

The DETAILS......

I think I'm done....... Have several more projects literally on the table waiting, but this on has burned me out a bit

I cant do any painting till spring. But the pic may be fooling these old eyes...LOL Im sure youll get a good one sooner or later. I would like a card from that one though. I have heard the old cars used a color called Midnight Blue that was close but I cant confirm that as I havent shot it myself.

Fender is a bit blue still....too much pearl in clear. seat base is a bit green...no pearl in clear
My sprayout is the closest, I just need to get the right amount of purple pearl in clear.
I can send you a sprayout card of my closest match if that would help you any.

is that front fender painted with your mixed paint? If so it sure looks darn close enough to me.

GS1000 reincarnated

Just bought myself a new computer online today, so I should have better pics to view soon.
My phone just doesn't work that great as a all around computer.

Also bought a large amount of NOS parts from a Japanese site for my next project (RGV250-VJ23)
They had a Black Friday special....15 percent off on EVERYTHING ... Presents for me this year

I'll make up a few spray cards and send them to you, and let you decide if they are what you want.
Ive painted out about 8 versions so far. I had one extremely close, but I put just a bit too much pearl in the clear, and it ended up too blue.
Going to do the seat base before next Tuesday, (when my seat will be done) and redo my fender again...
If it is close enough, you guys will be the first to see.
