    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

great work, man!
love all the pics :)
that's a kick-ass black finish you've got going!
 
Bruce, you are an inspiration. You have inspired me to truck my GS to your house for resotration, that is!! :D Fabulous work, sir!
 
What about the frame bracing??? That's what I'm waiting for. Wanna see what goes down so I can get some ideas for my 1000. Not looking to go too crazy, just add a little more meat in the places that need it. Any info on this? I have a bunch of steel plate left over from my trailer build. Was thinking of using that too.
 
More delays. The cam chain guide I bought is wrong. Tried to save a few bucks, but to no avail. :mad: The one I bought is on the bottom, top one is stock...

If I EVER get this motor back together, I'll then be starting on the frame. I'll post up what I do with the frame. I will probably go with this bracing:

Bruce you may want to check the knarf project and craig smiths project over at oldskool, the brace shown here might be over kill. I know they modeled the Knarf project bike off of old Yosh bracing.

Thanks! I'll take a look. I have that old Yosh article on the GS1000 build. I did notice that they didn't brace as much as my photo.

Bolt kit

Bolt kit

Where are you getting your chrome bolt kit for the engine? I have seen them on ebay. Not sure of the quality..

To follow up, I didn't use a "kit". I figured out what I needed and ordered it. I used the mushroom head bolts for the cam cover and for the cam chain tensioner, oil cooler adapter and tach gear, and I'm using chrome hex head bolts for the side covers.

Here's a link to some pics of the project so far. They are mixed up a bit... I need to re-arrange the photos to show the progression.
