Not yet chuck! Trust me I am just as eager to see it as you. Just getting into exam season right now and the weather in my area hasn't been good enough to warrant the change over. I don't want to get the new paint full of grime right off the bat.

Thanks Pete! Yeah the pipe really is something, certainly can't imagine there are many of these still around. Sounds like the devil, its phenomenal.

There's plenty of absolutely awesome looking pipes on the Webike web site but way out of my price range, you did well to score that set for sure.

Looking very nice! You still have snow up there?! Wow. It got cold here for a week again but it's back to 70? now in Ohio, I rode a bunch today, Friday, and about a week or a week and a half ago!
Here I added your photos for you using some very simple UBB code:

And yeah, weather was absolutely terrible up until Friday. Gorgeous this weekend though!

Thanks Ed, still would like to source a larger set of carbs and eventually get it dyno tuned at my local shop.
Very nice looking! I envy that Yoshimura exhaust so badly!
Did you notice on the exhaust hanger if it has GS 750 stamped into it? Or GS 100? It hangs a little low below the oil pan, and I was wondering if it was a GS1000 exhaust like the one that I have. Yours is upswept substantially more though, mine exits slightly higher than stock and more straight back. I opted to save it for a GS1000 engine in the Rickman CR race chassis build that I have stored away for the future after several other projects get done.
Was that cylinder head ported? Have you measured the intake ports with the carburetor boots off of the head? If you put bigger carbs on it, it's not going to do a whole lot more unless the head was opened up to the size of the carbs. Smoothbore carbs would be an upgrade regardless, however, but going up in size wouldn't do a whole lot. I can't remember what the stock opening size is on the small port heads, I will have to measure one in the basement later out of curiosity.
How's the weather up there? Good riding season yet? 75 degrees Fahrenheit today! Some friends were camping at the dirt bike trails south of here all weekend, and said it rained all day yesterday, and trails were a muddy mess, so no dirt biking today, taking the GS out for an all-day ride! First one of that kind this season!

I cannot see any stamping on the exhaust unfortunately.

Yes the cylinder head was ported and exhaust ports were polished.
I actually recently acquired a set of smoothbores that absolutely transformed how this bike runs. Terrifyingly quick now and does this yoshi 844c engine justice.
