    Keep the tab washers and hex set screws. Used properly they guarantee your rear brake integrity, your safety, your life.

    Torque setting can be found in the factory manual. BassCliff has these available on his site.

      The Earth won't fall off of its axis and you won't die. I do it all the time.
      The bikes are dirty as I actually ride them a lot more than most here ride their computer keyboards.

      E model...


      G model...


      Send me a PM and I will be happy to share with you how they are retained. (Better than the stock arrangement BTW.)

            Oh I'd be interested in seeing pictures of Utah so I'd surely look at his rides.

              I guess that you never check out the "Anyone go for a ride" thread eh?
              "Riding Game" thread? (Which you NEVER participate in BTW.)
              How about a running sound bite of your second rebuild in a year of the SAME bike? Any videos of you riding? Any pictures of you falling down?
              If you REALLY were paying attention, you would also notice that I built a custom GS1105 G and am currently building a '78 750 and a '80 1100E at the same time since this February.
              Two of them currently run too. The 750 has a good excuse, it is missing its head!
              Go back to doing what you do best...

                  So Eric, errr GSX1000, I've read through the Ride thread and what I have seen of your stuff looks more like Reno then Utah but of course you haven't once made a positive comment on any of my posts in that same thread. The riding game? Yea, more like a competition of why doesn't someone get the picture in 30 minutes after someone else - I quit that thread a couple of years ago. As far as my rebuild - it's been done for awhile now but I found a problem with the tank and just finished fixing that. The rebuild I'm working on now is my daughter's jeep.

                        And there you have it! Eric is BACK. These "GSX110E" posts were civil for a while, but now they are getting more and more abusive. Eric apparently just can't keep that ugly side suppressed. Too bad.
