If we can stay on task John it could be done as soon as within the next month. But I am hoping for at least late summer.

That's the part I cured but not before Joe was out of time. *sigh*
Time and money are joined at the hip but are not the same thing.
I really miss it. It's sick how I feel about that bike. :|

Thx guys, really 
I am very anxious myself but I fear I may not do any
repainting at this point any more this year. So when it
is done I will have an awesome running 1000 but it will
most likely look exactly as it did before I tore it down
except it will be cleaner from me taking it down to the
frame and painting that and cleaning all parts before
coming back up.
If I can work it out I will still get the tank done. It is really
the only part that needs it the most. The rear tail cowling
is brand new and is the right color but doesn't have the pin
striping done.
Right now it is still just a roller and looks exactly as it does
in the pictures on the web site.
We re-start work on the head and block next weekend

Hey Mark,
How did the work go on Saturday?
Make any good progress? Would be nice to see that "1000" on the road for the ride..

I pulled the entire front end off Joe's '80 GS1000L so I could go dual caliper but I think it is a wash. I am not putting L forks on my bike and I want to keep the spoked rims. I am not sure I can go dual with the spokes. If that's the case I will stay with a single disk brake up front.

That's kind of a bummer.
Did you make any progress on the engine work?
We'll have to look into how to get the dual calipers on your spokes.

Get a wheel of a GS750 if you can't find a 1000 wheel, they are the same. i have a set of spoked wheels with perforated dual discs from a '78 GS750 waiting to go under my Kat.

Ahh then it can be done. I have the rims. They are what is on my bike now. So maybe I have what I need then off this front end to do it. Other than the one fork. I will still need E or H model forks so as to get the caliper mounts on the other fork.

Still right where we left it. All the money has been put down, but there is no time. I don't think I'll be seeing my GS this year. At least not until late.

Well it isn't a lot but we got my piston kit in and the block will be sent out for boring this week. The head should also at least be started for the porting and polishing this week yet. If this goes as planned at this point I should have my bike then within the next few weeks.

Not quite. The 750 rims are steel, whereas the 1000 rims are aluminum. I've put the 1000 wheels on my 750. 8)
