    1977 GS750B - my long awaited first bike!

I found some VTR-1000 (02 superhawk) forks and calipers I can get pretty cheap, no discs though..im thinking about picking them up now after reading your enthusiasm for them instead of using the GK 41s...

    gs1100gk 41mm straight leg forks as performance mod for gs750/850/1000?

    I've sent the standard top triple off to have a new one machined up after spending a fair bit of time at the local wreckers trying to find something that works. I was able to get the standard GK axle, caliper mounts and spacers when i got the forks, so everything just bolted up nicely with a...

    gs1100gk 41mm straight leg forks as performance mod for gs750/850/1000?

    Hey Chuck, i have a set of these on my 80 1100E project that Ozman gave me a tip on from a wreckers a while back. Came across your posts on the 41's whilst searching for options on replacing the standard top and bottom triples. Have you actually tried newer GSX triples?

    Starting to mock things up, think i may have the rear sets a little to aggressive, may need to be dropped a little. Seat mounts done. next up is under seat/ducktail electrics and battery tray. Trying to work out if i need a return spring on this 98 gsxr rear master cylinder....

    Ebay Master Cylinder

    I've used this exact unit Shark, on two bikes, both twin disk, works really well, good firm feel, minimal lever action required.

    From memory compliance was stamped 80. painted V&H headers i think, def not MAC though. Not a huge fan of the colour myself, trying to track down the different factory paint codes and pictures.

    Getting ready to repaint the motor. Have searched and read many a thread on this topic, alot of different methods around. Picked up a cheap 20kg bag of coarse soda media awhile back in anticipation of having to do this job, although i was dubious as to how it would go in my sand blaster...

    Cheers arron, feel pretty stupid, wasted alot of time messing about with the 33s before it was worked out what was missing. You think that pipe set up looks a bit average huh? I didnt like it much either once i welded it up, i like those cone mufflers though. I'm not sure what i'll do, i'll...

    Bike never made it on to the dyno, had alot of trouble getting the 33's running right, really didnt want to idle at all. So to get the bike home to start the strip down, and just to have a little ride and see how it travels i put a spare set of CV's of one of my 1000's on it. It was a good...

    Motor Swap: 1150 into an 1100EZ

    Great job, looks very neat. i haven't used rubber mounts, just the standard 1100 ones, didn't notice the vibration to be too bad in my limited riding time so far. Might have to look into it if you guys find it makes a big difference.
