An 1150E is reborn

[GS1150Pilot]

Still have some tidying up to do, but for the most part, it is done.

Things that have changed since it last showed up here:

Thanks to posplayr's part out of his 1100:

Early GSXR-1100 forks (resprung, with gold valves, rebuilt two weeks ago), GSXR rotors, cheap Chinese master cylinder (soon to be replaced)
Steering damper
GSXR wheels (recoated in white newly shod with new Metzler Roadtec Z6s)
RS36 flatsides (rebuilt last month) with K&N pods
Accel coils and wires

Koso guage (still working on getting the tach to be semi-accurate)
Euro bend superbike bars
New chain and sprockets (including the offset c/s)

Locally rebuilt seat, done in vintage diamond pattern (not everyone's cuppa, but I like it a lot)
New headlight (probably eventually to be replaced with a train light, but for now, good enough) with upgraded bulb
Wrapped in 3M "Liquid Copper" vinyl

Also did a valve adjustment, oil change, full brake flush and had a friend rewire a lot of the loom for a much cleaner look.

It's no show winner (imperfections here and there), but it is pretty, runs like a top, and is paid for. Perfect for bike nights and all manner of fun.

Looks good with the fresh paint. Resto mod right from 1995.

Very nice bike. Well done.

[GS1150Pilot]

LOL, that's the truth, Jim.

[GS1150Pilot]

Very nice bike. Well done.

Thank you, sir!

[dorkburger]

A class act. I love it!

[GS1150Pilot]

Thanks, Glen! It has been fun to turn it into an E.

So it's wrapped, not painted, correct? Can't tell the difference. Just curious, and if you don't mind stating, but what does a wrap cost on a bike?

[GS1150Pilot]

Yes, wrapped. It is pretty impossible to tell from paint unless you look underneath a panel and can see where the wrap ends. This was a favor owed by a friend who does this work as a profession. He mostly wraps high end cars such as Ferraris, Lambos, etc., but he said that to do this small job, he would still charge about $500 at a minimum.

Looks great! The bars threw me for a loop till i saw exactly what you did there. Definitely a good looking set up

[bonanzadave]

Woah! That is stunning. Looks brand new. That seat is awesome.

[GS1150Pilot]

Man, I am glad some of you guys like the seat. It really works on the bike.

Yeah, Brandon, the triples posplayr set up have been modified to accept regular bars, and getting rid of the tumor of a stock gauge cluster really cleans it up.
