    I saw your post about Zuki stickers in oldGSfans thread about crooked paint... I was wondering if you have any saved/stock Suzuki stickers available. Don't have a pressing need, but I'm in the habit of buying things I don't need because they're cool and I do have several paint projects planned...

    contact info for Big Jay at APE

    Bummer. Those running things now don't seem to be nearly as well informed, or maybe they just don't care. :( Thanks for letting me know! Cheers

    contact info for Big Jay at APE

    Does anyone have contact info for Big Jay at APE. He is supposed to be a forum mentor. I tried PM through the board with no luck and the APE site doesn't have a complete contact page. I'm hoping someone has his direct contact info, or at least his last name.

    Slipper clutch conversion project

    Man this thread is worse that going to a strip club when you haven't gotten any in a while, like you've been married for 20 years... Three people that say they're working on a slipper clutch including the OP, yet no completed projects, or formal quits or anything... so I'm guessing no one...

    Howdy, I was reading the slipper clutch mod thread on the GS 1000, saw your post that you were about to attempt it and wondered what happened? I want to do it myself and wondered if you had success. If you care to update I would be interested to hear! Thanks, Oliver

    Normal (ish) operating temps

    I am using an IR gun for the external temps. I don't understand why they wouldn't be reasonably usable for external temps as some idea what the temps are. I also have the oil temp gauge in the oil fill plug... I don't have a lot of confidence in that, plus it's in Celcius, so I have to do the...

    Normal (ish) operating temps

    If you're in the city that must be a lot of stop and going? How is that measured? Internal factory gauge? I'm a little iffy on the oil temp gauge sticking out of the oil fill hole... Yesterday on a brief ride it got up to 75 ish C, which seems reasonable. I hope to get out today for a more...

    Normal (ish) operating temps

    So I just put in an 1100 motor into the 1000 (1073) and it seems to run hotter than the stock engine. I'm wondering what temps anyone else is getting with a 1073 or 1085 overbored engine. I just added an oil cooler and still testing but I'm running consistent temps across the board as: - mid...

    Pic of my 79 GS 1000 resto-mization

    I would like to use new Suzuki colors so I'll look in to those years. I've been looking for a blue. I've got an idea for a blue and white and yellow, which was an mid 2000 theme. I also want to paint onr red, white and blue.

    Pic of my 79 GS 1000 resto-mization

    I'm a real man so not opposed to the pink in principle, but I do like the copper better ! lol I want a 2 stage with a silver metalic under the top color. It's the stripes scheme I'm struggling with. I want something that hints of an original idea, but is more modern at the same time. Although...

    1979 GS750L Fuel Tank Replacement

    I agree, complete de-rusting and the stage prior to etching the tank. Personally I only use POR as a tank in very good condition anyway. I use something more stout like Caswell's for a typical OG tank that needs signigicant rust removal and prep.

    Pic of my 79 GS 1000 resto-mization

    Thanks guys, it's still a work in progress. I've got a 1100 tank on it now, but I'm going back to the E tank. It's a Honda CBR front end and wheels. Saved 50 poinds between the wheels and tires over stock. I'm still struggling with the paint scheme. A lot of people have done the white on red, I...

    Pic of my 79 GS 1000 resto-mization

    Pic from a bought in boxes build. It's runnning well, so now I can focus on the bling and the fine tuning as soon as I can decide on a paint scheme. For now red will always work!

    BTW if the weather allows (looks like winter may be here) I could ride the ZR11 out for a sandwich so you can see it first hand. Although at this point I'd rather ride the GS 1000! So many bikes, so little time.

    Hey! Sorry for the long delay in responding, been busy building and riding! I've been tweaking a GS1000 resto-mod... went for another carb tune run today! YES I still have a Zephyr, in fact I've got 2, plus some spares. I love them... I think it's the best bike, perfect blend of muscle and...

    Seat pan edge guard source?

    I wrapped some 1/4 foam around the edge. Worked great, but I don't know how it will hold up long term, but I'm optimistic.

    Interesting intermittent carb over flow issue ...

    They leaked from the overflow. I replaced the overflow lines with new longer ones to make sure they missed the exhaust and labeled them so I could tell quickly which ones were overflowing. I went for a ride yesterday morning and there was no overflowing, but it was cool and I just cruised...

    Interesting intermittent carb over flow issue ...

    So I've been riding the 79 850G with new top end and rebuilt carbs Mikuni VM26SS and it runs great. I'd like some informed ideas about one issue, especially is they're different from mine! So carbs 3 and 4 overflow occasionally and intermittently, and rarely. Everything inside is either new...
