    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.

Here we go. I was on The XL forum and got involved with a thread on a guy spending $5000 on a motor for the street. No not race.
So, if you had $5000 to spend on a GS1100 to get maxium power what would you do and how much power would you have. It could be for the street or the strip. You already own the bike and its not worn out so deduct that cost. If youre planning on doing most of the labor deduct that cost too.

So, lets have some fun.
 
Mr.Turbo turbo charger...$3995. 200+hp and the rest of the $$$$ for fuel.

Buying used parts and already having the bike, including new tires, brakes and suspension,
I will have about $3,000 into the Cooley and it should have close to 165 HP at the rear wheels.
That should be enough for me. ;)

I'd probably do what one of the guys on OldSkool is doing and slide 1127 GSXR liners in a GS1150 block, bore to suit, put some 2008- Hayabusa 18mm wristpin pistons in it, mill the block 2mm and slap a GSXR 1100 rocker arm head on it and call it good. Cheapish 1360cc. Heard 180hp from a 1327, but that might not be the norm.

Something sexy about a blower though...
 
I'd leave the bike as is and put the money in the bank.
Some people just have more money than sense.
 
Full motor swap, maybe a gsxr 1k motor, suspensuon, and wheels.

That or sell the bike as is for 500 and pay half off on a zx14. :)
 
Sell the GS and buy a Hayabusa for $6000 and have money left over
 
Come on, thet"s the easy way out. I'm talkin about building your GS1100.
 
Paint it red - it'll go twice as fast....

Ohlins, new Pirellis, Dymags, Harris billet calipers up front and possibly a Metmachex swinger. Probably leave the engine alone.
