    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.

While my head is being tested I have gotten to thinking that another engine would be the easiest way to get back on the road..

Today I am off to look at a Bandit motor, but it comes without carbs or any ancilliarys, and it could be a 600cc...

I know of a guy who has a couple of GS750 and 850's more or less complete. How much power am I going to loose swapping out one of those????

Cary,
Get on Orient Express web site and order the "works"
get the pistons, go about 20 over and the stainless steel valves.

I did my 1000S a few years ago this way.
Was it worth the $$$, hell yea!!

Or look in the for sale section, nice 1100 for sale, with a spare motor
 
Its all about the $$$$.... If I had any at all then a full rebuild would be on the cards, rods pistons and all..

Today I am in the shop carefully cutting new valve guides and regrinding the valves... to save some $$$...

The head has been skimmed and a I need to manufacture a couple of valves, but otherwise the head should be redone by the weekend..

I just hope the bottom end is fine, but I will find out soon enough. The bandit engine was a washout, though 1200 it had some accident damage (crankcases destroyed...)
