I've been building a GS for a couple of years. Don't ask, you won't like my answer... )-:
I believe the engine is a late 78 early 79 model. I purchased the engine off of a garage floor. Stuffed it in a frame, added a good set of carbs and it runs well. I didn't note any transmission/clutch basket noise or rattle at all and I've ridden it around. Bike is completely pulled apart to finish frame mods and then once those are done and my health holds out, I'm going to get it ready for next years race season. Bracket racing and maybe some speed runs.
However, I've come across a situation that I've searched until my eyes crossed and I wet my pants. But for the life of me, any type of performance clutch basket cannot be found.
The rivet/spring kit is still available but no basket. I've even searched here and other sites, the www and Google'd until it was time to punch out and go home.
Did I miss something somewhere or am I $hit out of luck?
I've seen some scarce info about fitting an 1150et basket to the 1000 hub with machine work but nothing concrete.
I'm not made of money but willing to build a solid clutch for what I want to do. And for the bike I'm building, I'm going to need a stout unit.
FTW: I've reached out to APE and they have nothing for the GS1000 and know of nothing.
Please advise,
Thank You
