3btc,
Nice bike, you found one sweet deal for a $1000.:clap: I always like the square headlight 1100.

3btc...the bike looks great! Just wondering, what was your final jetting?
From your pic, the header looks like it's been getting too hot. Still lean at the jet needle and/or main?
Now if you rub out the bluing with some Blue-away or other product and the bluing returns that much, you're most likely still lean.

Wow, i didn't know marshall went that far back. That's a great looking pipe for the years under it's belt, a lot of marshalls fall apart in only a few years (granted it's mainly from neglect errrrr, i mean....... metal fatigue.......)

Nice bike

this is my daily rider i found her in a basement after sitting from 1985 with 3400 miles all wrapped up in blankets from and old friend that i had not seen in years . we made a deal and i paid 1000. bucks for it. iput the oil cooler and a few other things . the carb rebuild and rejetting was the hardest but it runs great now

Wind screen is a bit different; but the rest of the mods (especially the suspension) are fantastic. Well done!

not sure if you were speakin to me but in case you were the details are

81 gs750 L model
roccitycafe seat (not installed perminently yet)
superbike bars and grips from z1 enterprises
push button starter near battery and left inner knee
smaller directionals
side mount lisense plate and brake light
had to rebuild front m/c
and tons of extra removal. (indicators inbetween gauges, rear fender, etc)

future plans include :

-wire and electronics tuck (definate)
-pod filters (in the mail as we speak)
-exhaust header wrap (definate)
-wire wheels (depends how my current wheels look once painted)
-clubman bars (maybe, i really like the seating position as it is now)
-different speedo/tacho setup (one of the last finishing touches
-new rear spring and shock combo (one of the last finishing touches)
-rebuild front forks with stiffer lower springs (kinda chopper-ish right now and need a rebuild anyway)
-repaint frame (definate)
-head gasket (leaking )


more pics next sunny day

MASSSCENE, one of the many great things about this website is the lack of flaming in regards to members bikes.
Nice start to yours.
Put a "definite" beside the shorter, stiffer fork springs. I think "stance" is very important for bikes like yours.

I rode 800 miles last weekend. Haven't felt my ass in days

When riding this machine, where does one put it (your ass)? I can't seem to locate a seat.

he's right about that, I was told to leave the cb1100f.net forum because my bike, like many others there, wasn't not the F sport model but the C cruiser model looking for repair tips.
