Sorry for the long delay but I am in the middle of a plant rebuild and haven't been online much. Here are some pictures of the finished bike. Just dialing in the valve clearance and timing.

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.

Thanks so much to Salty_Monk for bailing me out with some great rotors for the twin pot conversion. Painted the spider black and everything bolted together as it should. Amazing what happens when you get the right parts

One last view from the back.
Well done, Ron.
What is the small red gizmo near the shock. Rear master cylinder/reservoir?

I dig that "saddlebag" in the side cover hole.
What is the engine finished in? It looks cool.

looks like a gun metal grey, meteor gray, silica grey color. Was it powder coated?
Great job and very nice design/workmanship, hopefully it's fun to ride.
BTW how close were you on the original budget number, or did you stop counting half way through like most of us.

Kept counting just didn't report to my wife
Around $11k invested. Spent more on custom paint then original plan and as you can see kind of went overboard on most components.

My left caliper is 1/4" farther from axle than right side. Pad is too high. What am I missing?

Found out that a previous owner stuck a lower leg from a single disc bike and I guess lived with it that way. I am in the market for a GS1000E lower left leg if anyone has one.
