    rotor/flywheel puller for a GS1000..?

    Wow. Really. I didn't think there would be an oil journal big enough for that 1" washer to get into the sump.

    rotor/flywheel puller for a GS1000..?

    I 'm replacing the stator on my 79 GS1000S. I bought one along with a new R/R from Steve's Motorsports. Very nice people. Answered some very noobie questions I had. Basically walked me through the whole process. (Damn it, Jim. I'm a painter not a mechanic) As I was putting the stator cover...

    From 78c to 79s clone

    Painting an S is really more difficult then most people might think it is. Getting it all symmetrical and correct, especially the tank stripes, tests the patience and skill of even the best painter. Your's looks real nice, Chuck. You should be proud. Can't wait to see it all assembled.

    1980 gs1000g rebuild

    I like the color, too. Flashy, for sure. Are all those scratches on the Durango hood from putting metal gas tanks on it...? :rolleyes:

    From 78c to 79s clone

    Looks real nice, Chuck. What was the color sequence you used..?

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Wow.. a CX650 Turbo! Haven't seen one of those except the one the belongs to my best friend in..forEVER!

    Is this Vance and Hines full exhaust gs750 repairable, or trash?

    You might sandblast it, fix the hole by welding it and grinding it smooth, or if it isn't too bad fix it with JB Weld then spray it all black.

    Another one… ‘83 GS1100E Restomod

    I actually like the all black wheels. You could put a blue pinstripe around the rim edge to add a splash of color and to separate them a bit.

    1978 GS550 Project

    Always a good feeling when a project all comes together especially as nice as it came out. Must've taken awhile to set up all the parts on the sidewalk..lol

    1978 GS550 Project

    Nicely done. The parts look awesome.

    Paint colour

    www.diablocycle.com can set you up with a stripe kit. Very good quality product. As far as the teal color goes, you might go to an auto paint store where they can let you thumb through their 1,000's of paint chips until you find one that's as close as possible. That's a pretty color that was...

    42 year old motorcycle

    Maybe using a hair dryer set on high would get it warm enough to allow it to be bent back without the melting heat you get from a heat gun.

    Cold start

    I'm certainly not an authority, but that petcock looks like it needs to be thrown away. New ones are available, a bit pricey, but a new one would eliminate the possibility of that being your problem, or at least takes away the need to use a screwdriver to turn it. I can only imagine what a pain...

    Skunk tank salvage underway

    There was a time that you would just throw a tank like that in the garbage but they're so rare now as you know. You got your hands full, Chuck. After you get it all welded up, maybe take it to a radiator shop and get it boiled out, tested and sealed. I've had great success with that. How's...

    Winter Rebuild Almost Done - 1982 GS650G - Seat questions?

    I've had all my seats reupholstered professionally, and the price isn't too high. $200 is the most I've ever spent and they look brand new.

    Cold start

    It may be a stupid question, but do you turn your petcock to the "Prime" position when you try to start it up? After I got my S, I went through the same problem before someone told me about the petcock position. It, too, would be very hard to start, and when it did, it was only 2 cylinders until...

    2K paint job, and a $12 spray booth

    Very clever set up. $67 for paint is nothing..lol. I've spent 5-$600 for paint. Reds are especially pricey. The 2K clear will do a good job of protecting it. Nicely done.

    1982 gs1100e

    That's coming out so nice. Your painter did an excellent job on the body parts. I, too, used the VHT flat black header paint for my exhaust. I noticed, accidentally, that if you let them dry for a few days, then rub them down with a blue paper shop rag, they get a real nice shine to them almost...

    best paint options for everything except the tank

    I used VHT (brand) paint on the Yosh header on my bike. I didn't bake it or cycle through a couple of heat cycles, maybe should have, but it still looks great after more then 10 years. It's a very good product. I used Duplicolor engine enamel on my engine, fork legs, wheels, and brackets, and...
