    false start on the starter, gears were binding so its not going to work. Hopefully have an 1150 starter on the way soon. In the mean time, motor fits without much drama, couple of washers on the rear upper mount to get the spacers right and all the other mounts match up exactly. new tank and...

    So i was going to buy a new starter due to the 9 tooth 10 tooth pinion gear difference, but looks like i can use the 1100 unit, swapped out the idle gear of the 1150 for the 1100 one and it all seems to spin ok, no binding. Ive decided to soda blast the engine and im going to use the 1100...

    so, my solution to my destroyed head is.... remove 1100 Its a shame PO didnt rebuild this motor correctly...Pistons look new and can still see the hone marks.... i think the chain guides weren't replaced even though they appear to have put a new chain in. Have found an 1150 thats going to...

    pulled the head to see if the timing chain being off had done any damage, all seems well with the pistons. Has had rings and a hone at some point but it looks as though the guides may not have been replaced, or perhaps not installed correctly. Exhaust side guide is looking trashed, and the...

    24l off a 750 right? The 19l is proving difficult to find. Thinking of fabricating one out of the 450 tank. Or maybe adapting another make altogether.

    Hey Pete, just checked out your build thread, amazing job mate. Hope i can do half as good a job. Yeh, my initial feel for the tank was i liked it, unsure if i'll use it just yet tho, i might look at some other options like the larger tank ozman suggested. Decision decisions

    Ok, thanks for the thoughts, i actually kinda liked the high back and slightly smaller tank, the lager 1100 tank does look good though, might go see if the local wrecker will give me one of those for 50$ too :)

    Thanks ozman, hopefully it fits, the gsx stuff is in excellent nick, picked up a nice looking tank from a smaller gsx 80s era tank last week for 50bucks, sandblasted it this afternoon and I thunk it will work ok with a change of mounts and some minor panel work to clear the frame. Maybe the...

    Hey guys, i've been browsing the forum and using BikeCliffs site for a while now so i though i should get a build thread going and introduce myself. Ive recently bought a couple of projects that i hope will keep me busy for a while, a GS1000E and a GSX1100, both 1980 models. My last road...
