    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.

Gs1000g, take two.

It can only be done with xtra crispy.:-) It is coming along nice, Brandon. All I got done was the fork seals gsx1100g. No more puddles on the garage floor.
 
i gotta get seals for these too, and im gonna steal a stud from another set of forks i have since i broke the one. next on the list is the head gasket :nevreness:
im gonna order a set of 750 cams for it and deck the head while its apart to kinda hop it up a bit. then i want to track down a set of the seat trims

I'm not familiar with putting 750 cams in a 1000.
 
They're a little hotter. I think +4 duration on intake and +8 dur on the exhaust. Same lift. Degree it a little more aggressive than stock, should get a few extra hp. How much is debatable, but there are people who have done it and said they would do it again. Im thinking i want to do a 3 Angle valve job as well to aid in increasing air flow.

Well, I have heard of "removing" rust with aluminum foil, so maybe it was the beer can (aluminum) and some lube (chicken grease)? :-k

Brandon, keep that up, it will end up looking as shiny as my wife's bike. :encouragement:

Im actually going to paint my engine just like that when i get it back together!
 
I have always liked the black and chrome look on the engine, so I painted hers. After doing that, I learned that Suzuki did it on the '83 (and newer) bikes, so I didn't feel too bad about doing it. I have since done my '80 850 and will soon be doing my son's '80 1000G.

Top Gun? That's a Kawasaki GPz900R from 1984. Mine's an '82 Honda 900 Supersport.

I'm toying with a DR650 purchase, and down the road, something much odder (for me).
 
It's an addiction for sure. Just last week I ran out of things to polish on the bike, so I started in on the the house hardware...door knobs, coat hooks, toilet paper holder. My wife finally stopped me when I was halfway through putting a mirror finish on our stainless steel dishwasher. I'll finish it up and then hit the fridge while she's at the gym tomorrow.
 
clip ons by Brandon Hobock, on Flickr

ordered these clip ons after i told my self "self, just get normal bars..." i just couldnt listen.. sorry self..

so theyll actually sit a little higher (like 3/4 of an inch) than the clip ons that were on my last one. that bike was super comfortable, for me at least. these are about 3 inches higher than the sh!tman bars i have now. but still rather aggressive. will be here sat but wont install probably till tuesday or later
