The guy who ended up with my old kpm small tire gs sent me a message today and finally made some passes. He's 175 and ran a 1.27 short with a 9.17 shifting it at 8500. Real nice guy and extremely happy with the bike. Bike looks great in red too.

9.1?
So if that were corrected (altitude, etc.) it might be in the eights. Not too shabby.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -
What was his trap speed? 145ish?(MPH)Comment

only 138. Bike always ran 140 plus but he was shifting at 85 so that may have made the diff.Originally posted by GSX1000E View PostComment

Yup...I sure miss making passes on that bike...
I know it needed a repaint, but I do miss the old KPM paint job....Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

It's a mild low compression 1260 with a slider and a good head. Works great with old 33 smooth bores and spoke wheels. Tranny is 123 auto and as stayed was built by KPM. Great bikeOriginally posted by stetracer View PostComment
