Well that makes total sense. I'll have to try and meet him some day. Bruce how are you treating your nuts and bolts that aren't S/S?

the engine has all new chrome bolts. Any other bolts on the frame, etc. that I am re-using are being polished.

Thats all i could turn up for info as well. He should be a member here after all we are his biggest fans

You might try Twins Falls, Idaho???

Black with polished tops and bowls, chrome hardware, aluminum choke spools.

Sounds familiar.. This is looking fantastic!

Bruce you have to do a custom can on that Yosh. If someone up there can't do it send it to me and we'll have Jemco do it and use my S for mock up. You know you want a more up-swept look. Here are before and afters of same pipe you have.

See posts #16, 21. Also see #24 for not quite as aggressive look

I'm thinkin two budwieser alluminum non-retunables end for end would make a nice can..

Incredible work Bruce. Your bikes are works of art.

Looks like Mr Cooley is in Bend, OR

Yeah, I'll do something when I can afford to. It looks pretty low in that pic of yours. Did you have clearance issues?

 

[salty_monk]

My standard Yosh pipe has more clearance as stock than a Vance & Hines... Never had a problem with it. Can't fit centrestand though & it needs to be removed to do any work on the bike.....

I use a swingarm stand at the back for changing wheel etc.

Plus one on those rear shocks. Being upside down gives an impression of light / fragile etc and it works very well in my book.

Brake calipers are now rebuilt and painted with caliper paint. I'm using calipers from an '83 GS1100E

 

[Guest]

The body parts are finished. Thanks, Larry!!

I went with a GS1100E fender:

Yeah I never had any clearance issues; just never really liked the aesthetics of it.

And I was trying to figure out why that didn't look like an S mudguard....Sorry, I only woke up 12 hours ago.

Larry appears to have painted trees all over your bodywork..........nice job.

 

[Suzuki mad]

Thats an awsome paint job. Wish he could go my GS1000SN but shipping all the parts from the Uk to do just isn't an option.
