    1982 GS1100E head going back together

    Finally on my project GS1100E that I bought back in 2019. When covid hit I ended up working almost 340 days in 2020, leaving no time to play.
    I bought the bike from a kid who said the motor locked up after he put on new coils and reset the valves. The motor would rotate in reverse but lock when you would roll it forward. Gave him $100 and took it home.
    Took the motor out and the valve cover off, looked inside and seen he’d dropped one of the aluminum standoffs for the coils down inside the engine, it was jamming the cam chain.
    Im in the process of resealing the motor and completely rewiring the bike. Going to turn it into a cafe style.
    (trying to upload photos...)

          Something I totally overlooked when I got the bike... The head, it's a 750. Went out to the garage and measured the bore, it's at 74mm. Double bonus. Somebody at sometime had some work done to it.

            Here's kinda the direction. Frame is at powder coat now, doing orange. Got the block honed, cleaned and painted. Doing the lower case this weekend and have to order some rings. Hopefully within a month it will be done.
