    GS chain into a GS shaft?

    I already have a 1981 GS1000ET (in candy red) that is a replacement. Its always the way when you find your old bikes. They are never quiet what you think they once where. Thanks for the reply though.

    GS chain into a GS shaft?

    From memory the frames are different. Its 40 odd years and the mind is ageing and I know a lot of guys now alter bikes into whatever they want from others that 'we' would never have thought possible.

    GS chain into a GS shaft?

    I'm not altering it. The guy who called me said it had been altered and was now a shaft than a chain bike. He spoke about swapping the swinging arm and just altering a gear in the engine and it would work fine but I know that is a load of 'bull.' I'm guessing he was trying to make a sale of...

    GS chain into a GS shaft?

    Its a very old film photo of my 'old' GS1000E with its black stove enameled mudguard. That and the original number plate are all I have of the old bike. Its the one bike I would want to get back if I can.

    GS chain into a GS shaft?

    HI All. Long time since I was last here, I know. Life sometimes gets in the way of bikes and doing things. Such as sorting out GS1000's. Way back in the day (1982) I owned a black GS1000ET with slotted disc's, square brake master cylinder, stepped seat and CV carbs. I rode that bike...

    Got a call from the local Suzuki main dealer about a 'cap' for the rear mudguard. Nice bit..... Popped in to see a London Boards who did my GS1000 carbs and showed me how to do them. Came away with a set of rear indicators and a period Motad Neta from a GS1100G in Gold for the pricely sum of...

    GS(X)1100ESD Long term project.....

    Another week and another week of very limited progress. Been checking out parts, what I have in my own store and buts that I will have to order in. Still thinking about what way to go. I managed to source 2 of the bolts and washers to remove the aftermarket oil cooler but its still down to...

    GS(X)1100ESD Long term project.....

    Well not a lot happening on the project at the moment. Had a small off of one of my other bikes so I am recovering at the moment. That said, its giving me time to sort out parts that I will need and what I will need to get and what direction to go down. Should have taken her to the local...

    GS(X)1100ESD Long term project.....

    Saturday came and I popped to the welder fabricator. The answer was 'yes' they can fix the swinging arm bracket, weld the chain guard up and put a brace plate in to strengthen it so that's good. They can even sort the snapped header bolt. The guy is into Kawasaki triples...... The reason I have...

    Been busy sorting out rear brakes. The rear calliper had one moving piston and one seized piston. The moving one came out nicely, light rust on the lip where the boot seal goes but nothing on the sliding part that warrants replacement, yet. The boot seal was fine but the inner seal were...

    Had some time with the bike today. New Yuasa battery arrived and was fitted. Solved the lighting issue. It was suggested that I try the park light system as it doesn't go through the switch and I found O had nothing. A quick check of the ignition switch showed that it has lost its rear cover...

    Had a small delivery of a headlight bulb, tail light bulb and a relay. Now the indicators work, the headlight works but sadly the tail light doesn't. The unit on the bike has 5 wires going into a 3 pin socket, 2 browns, 2 black and white and 1 white. All that will work is the brake light when...
