fing a hole stiffed me on buying my truck so will have to wait on paint. err that $1k would have finished my bike.well maby
 
i've been re-reading this thread and saw that those pistons are 11.5:1 compression. just wanted to ask if that's correct and if ok/safe for street use?
 
i don't know what compression ill get. I asked for around 10.5. I will have to use high test but some of the new bikes use 11+ compression. the Hayabusa has 12.5:1 and runs on pump gas. with the Dyna 2000 ignition i can adjust the timing just by turning a knob so i probably could run it on anything.

I'm having Paul Gast build my motor. Hes giving me a deal on it and said he will do it personally. I'm thinking it would be a good idea for him to do it. that way I know its done right. and i have way way to much into this to have the motor go boom because iv never built a GS1100 motor befor. Iv built car motors and a KZ550 motor befor but not a GS. I'm hoping ill have this all done by summer.
