    1983 GS1100ES Engine Rebuild.

    I had another crank I used. I'll probably be sending 2 others to pearsons in the next couple months.

    engine stand

    No reason not to. I used the rod so I could tighten everything up without the need for spacers.

    1983 GS1100ES Engine Rebuild.

    I replaced the cases, and developed the whining post rebuild. Came to find out after the second tear down, that i had a bad main bearing on the crank, which was the cause of the whining. Nic

    Metal by the foot is where I got mine. Store close to work. They can cut it down to size as well.

    engine stand

    I had to cut down the two top angle brackets by 1/4". They hit the rear of the engine cases if not. I'll probably add some spacers in between the cases and angle brackets to get dome more clearance to the rear of the cases before paint. Recommend the b7 rod. The standard isn't as strong and...

    engine stand

    Using currently to work on a 1150 motor. Works well. Had to install the bracket vertically to make it work with the spacing. The clamp is to hold it vertically since the pin would set it at an angle. Four steel angle brackets (super struts I found on ebay), 1/2 inch bolts and B7 threaded...

    My first complete disassembly

    Take your time and label/package everything as you go. It always helps to thoroughly clean the exterior of the engine before you tear it down. Follow the service manual for specs on wear and tolerances. Would be a perfect time to install new rings, hone the cylinders and change the valve stem...

    1150 ES Blue and White Resto Mod

    Plan is to soda blast rest of the engine. I'll install some spare covers and close everything up for that. Then reinstall all the painted covers with SS allen bolt hardware.

    1150 ES Blue and White Resto Mod

    Dove into some engine work yesterday. Main goal is to inspect everything and clean up the side covers. I picked up a nice engine stand off craigslist for $20 and went about setting it up to work with the GS engine. Works well. Had to install the bracket vertically to make it work with...

    1150 Drop??

    Fox shocks (twin clickers) are usually adjustable for ride height. You might look into that first. Ducati 900 shocks are a favorable options when replacing the stock shock. There are quite a few threads on it. Nic
