    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

This is what I did
Soldered in the Honda R/R
Soldered in the Dyna 2000 with Dyna green coils
Soldered in the coil mod relay
chain and sprockets (I have a decent 530 chain and rear 42 tooth sprocket)
New rubber
Progressive fork springs and rear shocks
Pingle petcock (thanks for the adapter plate Josh!)
Travelcade seat
Of course put in a fresh 1230 motor
Putting new cables all around on tomorrow
Installing a cruise control
AND a K&N vent filter
 
Congrats Bill :)

Those rear shocks look good.. must have got them somewhere special :lol: :D
 
Still playing the jetting game.
Needle fourth up from the bottom.
Main jets Mikuni 150 for cylinders 2&3-147.5 for cylinders 1&4

Installed an exhaust overhead oiler since I ate up my .340 exhaust cam and some rockers. (Thanks Allen!)
The bike actually runs cooler with a leaner setup and the oiler.
Runs awesome!!!

Hope that oiler serves you well! I really didn't see any point on having that oiler on my stock 1100E :rolleyes:. By the way, that oiler is an old school Ward Performance as I've been told.

I would love to make a trip down to California whenever I get my GS road ready. Next year for the Reno Rally??? :D

Looks very good! We need more pictures....

Took her out yesterday and whipped it a bit.
Pulling the front off the ground easily. Front tire dancing around in first, second and third.
This is fast enough for me and is the engine I was looking for.
Now to sync the carbs and clean it up.
 
Hey Bill,

You running .340 cams on both sides? What kind of oil are you using?

Soon since I fried the .340 exhaust cam so I'm running stock (exhast only) at the moment. I run Castrol 20/50. I also just installed a topside oiler. My bike actually runs around 30 degrees cooler. Not tested in the dessert yet though!
 
Here is a slide show splitting the cases for the 1150 crank to install a Wiseco 1229 kit.
I'll post more pics once I get the cylinders and piston kit from the machine shop. At the same time I'll pic up the new head.
Looking good there Chef.
