    Valve spring removal tool, 1982 GS1100E?

    I did exactly like this, with a Harbor Freight big C-Clamp and PVC pipe. All my engines. My 24-Valve CBX head, my two 16-valve CB-F, 8-valve GS1000, my step-kids Nissan 240-SX and numerous other motorcycle heads..

    '79 GS1000E project start

    Suggestions, I see that the head is removed. Should replace your valve stem seals. Purchase the VITON type seals. Check your valve stem to valve guide wear. Light valve lapping to, then re-install valves and do a fluid holding check.

    Mac 4-1 Opinions

    I like the MAC 4 into 1 Header system. I bought MAC for both my Honda?s and the GS1000. I like the megaphone muffler shape on my CB-F street bike. The canister muffler version on my CB-F Track Bike, I cut off three inches to make it shorter. The GS1000 megaphone I bought looks a bit like a...

    Hey there, since I had the head decked, .006? , this lowered the head down enough that it throws the cam timing off, several degrees. And, with the existing cam chain with several thousand mile, it will have a slight stretch to it. All added together, the intake and exhaust valves are not...

    Right? These MAC baffles are JUNK! Though, I do like the header design. I have these MAC system, on my two, CB-F Bikes, with my modified baffles, of course.

    Where to get oversize pistons for GS1000??

    My vote is for you to go the Ebay, Cruzinimage 1.00mm overbore set. Going 1mm over will get rid of any rust damage to the liners. I have these Cruzinimage, pistons in my CB-1100F motor. I also purchased Cruzinimage pistons in the 73.50mm overbore size, for my GS1000G project that I'm building...

    Progress report for this weekend.. Had a "Markland" brand fork brace, made for a GL1100 fork. Had to fabricate the center brace because the GL1100 triple clamps space the forks wider apart. I'm using the CB900F triple tree, because it's aluminum top & bottom. Installed CB-F front fender, with...

    Ignition trigger system, which is ?better??

    Thank you Nessism. Are the ignitor box with the "Built In" advance curve, reliable? Meaning a 38 year old electronic box wont go stupid on me, and not advance timing when the revs go up?

    Ignition trigger system, which is ?better??

    Question to the Experts. Which do you prefer, for performance? The GS1000 two wire electronic pick up, with mechanical advice trigger rotor, with the GS1000 igniter box, or, The Newer GS850 four wire electronic pick up, with the single trigger rotor, with the newer GS850 igniter box? Engine...
