    83 GS1100E Front Master Cylinder Options

    That was on one of my prior builds. Just picked up a new to me 78 GS1000. It has a current Salty monk brake upgrade. It has the orignal master cylinder. It works, firm and feels good. No power though. Before I change the master cylinder, I will see what previous owner used for brake pads. I only...

    83 GS1100E Front Master Cylinder Options

    I used a Triumph Speed triple Master. Love Triumph brakes. When i was member on the ZRX forum, many were using EX500 masters. They never had any issues with them on ZRX's. Not sure if the Anti-dive makes them feel spongey. Most brakes use a 9/16" bore size. The EX's use a 1/2".

    Handlebars / rearsets (looking for inspiration)

    Renthal makes lots of bars. https://www.renthal.com/road/handlebars As mentioned Superbike bars work well and back in the day they had bars that were called BMW bend or bars which were a copy of BMW R90/100S bends. Superbike bars tend be a little wider, which gives you a little more leverage...

    Frame up builders

    I am not opposed to NOT bracing it also. The goal is a well balanced street bike that looks similar to a 84? GS700 Yosh/Schwantz race bike but handles, brakes and drives like a modern Sport-Touring, which to me means comfortable all day riding 250 mile days on sheety Mn. roads. I have 3...

    Frame up builders

    The above article on bracing is very informative as far as bracing goes and what I was looking for. It's not going racing and for a street bike, it will not need the full gusseting. I have found that Framecrafters in Illinois can straighten and do frame work, but I need to find out about their...

    Frame up builders

    I need help finding a good link to the Yoshi frame mods. links were all expired. Some one had a great picture posted, but I'm coming up empty. Who's got a name of a good frame builder. It's a hodgepodge of parts that will work, I want it to handle modern, and it will with proper supervision.

    Any suggestions for freeing stuck pistons in cylinder

    Yes. The time period mentioned is an attempt to give the penetrants time to work. With a seizure of this magnitude, what happens to the piston and bore are secondary to a point. Saving the pistons is out of the question and cylinders can be replaced, bored or re-sleeved depending on the owners...
