1230

Once the cylinder has cleared all four set of rings it should slide easily the rest of the way down. Then the motor should turn easily/smoothly at the crank.

I think I got them in right, not too hard to turn. The cylinder I got was not chamfered at all on the bottom, I had to take a grinding wheel to it, seconed try and they went in nice.

The bike is at Kris V's house and I am parting out the L to purchase a blue 83 GS1100 E roller from Posplayr (Jim)

Sounds like a good call to me. Make sure to post!

I got the 83 GS1100E running and is waiting on the L (1230 motor)to get to Santa Barbara from Tehachapi. It will be together soon.
Hey Charlie how's it shaking?

My two bikes are being delivered to my by Kris V on Friday. I got all the electrical and Jim's engine dialed in for him. The 1230 motor is going in to the 83 GS1100E very soon.
I also have to but my Progressive springs in the front forks and do the seals. Thanks to thecafekid I have a real nice set of front forks to work with.
Put my Progressive HD springs on a nice set of shocks thanks to Saltymonk.
Change over to my good rubber.
Put my new chain on.
Do the coil relay.
Needs paint and side cover rubber but it will be a runner!
I'll keep the pics and updates coming!

The L is officially dead. Motor out and frame is chopped.
I have some pics I'll post tomorrow.

The blue ED is going to be the new terror bike.
I'm transferring from the L the Progressive fork springs, Progressive HD dual shock springs, 1229 motor, Avon tires, drive chain, coil relay, and probably alot more I'm not thinking of at the moment.

She served you well. May she rest in peace...or is it piece.
