Cheers arron, feel pretty stupid, wasted alot of time messing about with the 33s before it was worked out what was missing.
You think that pipe set up looks a bit average huh? I didnt like it much either once i welded it up, i like those cone mufflers though.
I'm not sure what i'll do, i'll prob try to make something, not keen on buying a pre-made kit. Either way it will have to wait a while as ive started pulling everything apart now its registered.

Getting ready to repaint the motor. Have searched and read many a thread on this topic, alot of different methods around.
Picked up a cheap 20kg bag of coarse soda media awhile back in anticipation of having to do this job, although i was dubious as to how it would go in my sand blaster.
Ended up going not too badly, used roughly 5kg of the soda in about an hour or so using the smallest ceramic nozzle i had. Sand blaster took some refining with the pressure settings to get it going well, but overall i was happy with the finish.
Ran out of light this afternoon but got about half the paint off..hopefully finish off tomorrow.
Messy job, but pretty rewarding
half done

My mate just picked this sweet GSX1100E up.... Its in great condition. Had a very recent topend refresh with on overbore. Its going back to a factory color, unsure which one just yet and ive got all the factory badges ready to go on it. Otherwise it doesnt really need to be touched....

From memory compliance was stamped 80. painted V&H headers i think, def not MAC though. Not a huge fan of the colour myself, trying to track down the different factory paint codes and pictures.

Oh man, that looks like it's going to be an awesome build when done. Interested to see final product.

Starting to mock things up, think i may have the rear sets a little to aggressive, may need to be dropped a little. Seat mounts done. next up is under seat/ducktail electrics and battery tray.
Trying to work out if i need a return spring on this 98 gsxr rear master cylinder....

Thought i'd throw some more pics up for anyone that cared.
Things have been moving slowly as i moved into a new place (much bigger garage) and summer has hit which means ive been out on the red GSX1000 and my dirt bike alot on the weekends.
New work space
Motogadget M-unit, Dyna and SH775
Decided to hide my wiring in copper piping, polished up some bits as well
Also have alot of sanblasting to do, so building my own (largish) cabinet to do it all in.
Major distraction...........

I pat myself on the back for shrink-wrapping my wiring alterations, that copper looks very trick.

Mick is the foreman, he came signed for me by Mr Doohan from a charity auction a few years back...wherever you move in that shed his eyes will follow you haha
Double heat shrink on all joins/connectors is standard on this bike, electrical problems are the worst!
Hey Steve, still got that S sitting here waiting for you, you still want it? Give me a call when you're free sometime.

Progress (not much) photos. Spring is here so putting in a bit more effort to finish before Christmas this year.
Tank base white painted, checking tank and seat lines:
Finished the sandblaster cabinet:
Tank was too white, added some features:
Checking riding position/resets:
Got myself some 41mm VTR1000 forks. Using the GK triples i already had. GS discs won't be used, just placed on here to get an idea on the spacers i will need:
Looks like i will need some quite large spacers even with 23mm offset discs. Hopefully spoke wheels when laced will clear the calipers otherwise i might be back to the GK forks:
Hope everyone's builds are going well!

Nice work on the blast cabinet.
Looks big enough to get a frame in there.
