    Sonic Springs Model 05-S100 dimensions for my '79 GS1000

    I installed Sonic Springs model 05-S100 in my '79 GS1000 and the front end now seems very tall and very sprung. the front end is also now very harsh (highway bumps launch me) and sweeping highway turns with dips puts the bike into a snake weave. I think I did preload correctly and I'm...

    EBC CK3345 clutch friction plate thickness

    my clutch was dragging on my '79 GS1000E, so I bought the EBC CK3345 friction plate set off ebay. I'm pretty sure I swapped in a clutch cable last year and also tried moving the clutch pull arm on the splined shaft (last year that got me a little more pull for release but I could not do it...

    Post a picture of your custom GS

    Wow, gorgeous. I've had emo bubble fairings on an 83 xj550 and my '78 cb750ss and now I put a ninja250 fairing (trimmed) on my '79 gs1000e but I never made time to shoot anything over the primer.

    Removing original engine cover emblems from my '77 gs750

    Yep! After the stripper and wash, heat gave steam which lifted it to pry. Thanks! Gonna sand some of the scratches and powdercoat them. I'll never pay my labor in selling this bike but if I wasn't working on it I might be spending money.

    Removing original engine cover emblems from my '77 gs750

    having trouble removing the original scratched case emblems. A razor didn't want to get beneath the points cover emblem and I tied heat which made the adhesive sizzle but I still couldn't get the razor under it. I'm stripping the clear coat now but pretty secure they will still be stick on...

    CV carbs vs mechanically activated slides

    good points Big T.. I didn't know how the BST33's or BST34's faired against the VM26's or if the BST 36's would add any performance or streetability. Right now unless I get my Kat1100 BST34's working right, the BST36's might go on the Kat 11. Again,the point of my post was those TK26 CV carbs...

    CV carbs vs mechanically activated slides

    Thanks Steve. I wasn't thinking of trying the TK 26's on my GS1000 but rather will I find KZ550 owners that want them over round slides/. And as for the BST33's, 34's or 36's on my GS1000 do any make sense over the VM26's and if so, do you know which adapters bolt on?
