    In the beginning of this Thread, you?ll see what I did with the 1000G motor.... The seat I removed and placed in my truck during transport. It?s in great shape.. Lights are gone, but I plan on a fairing with rectangle headlight. I mainly bought this Non-Titled bike for the missing parts of my...

    Wow, almost a year goes by and I didn't do a dam thing with my GS1000G project.. Well, today I brought home a HUGE piece of MOTIVATION, for me.. I purchased a 1982 GS850G, $400.00. Non-Titled.. No biggie, because my 1000G is titled.. I needed the parts... My original plans were to modify Honda...

    GS 1100 G (2 valve per cylinder engine)

    Here is an old post from 2004.. It states that the GS1000 and the GS1100, both 2-vavle motors, have the same piston pin size and they both share the same compression height. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?77046-83-2V-GS1100-pistons-in-a-GS1000 So knowing that, I'm thinking...

    these pistons look stock to you?

    It looks like piston number three does have three rings?? My guess is, that you have Wiseco pistons. I'm thinking it's 73mm or maybe 73.5mm wide...

    Yeah, won't go without a baffle.. WAY too loud, but a performance wise baffle is good for me... So I removed the stock cylinder studs, to install APE Heavy Duty. Also removed the charging rotor.. Used an axle and weight, slide hammer. It's the method I use on my DOHC Honda CB-F bikes.. A...

    1980 GS1000G Starter Clutch Interchangeable with other models?

    Have a problem with my starter clutch... The clutch spring & plunger must have pushed backwards hard enough to punch a hole in the cover plate, that holds all three spring/plungers.. Need to hear from the experienced, if I can purchase one for a GS850, or other models? None on Ebay for a...

    I was able to verify the sealing of the fresh cut seats. Filled all the ports, intake and exhaust, with rubbing alcohol.. Let them sit for 10hrs on each side. Not a single droplet leaked out.. That NEWAY seat cutter did good. Next up, the valve clearance check.. Did the intake and exhaust...

    So my good friend, Jim Sawtell, sent me his NEWAY Valve Seat cutters.. Cool tools.. I also had to purchase a pilot tool for the Neway.. Now that I had all of the proper tools, I thought I would do the seat cuts during the Superbowl.. Cut all eight, from the first kick-off and finished at the...
