1980 GS1000G Ground up

[nikosg]

If you can, please host the images using something like imageshack or photobucket... makes viewing threads much better, and frankly its easier for you too! All you have to do is paste the forum code in one post rather than uploading and making separate posts for every photo

cheers

If you do use an image hosting program, you can include up to 10 images per post.

Somewhere around here is a tutorial on how, exactly, you do it. You can also create an album in your User CP at the top left.

Have you said hello in the GS Owners forum?

Photobucket

Photobucket

On your advice, I created a photobucket of all the pics of Izukes. I got the cylinder head and barrels back from the machine shop. I have a Barnett clutch and Accel coils coming. I've had some trouble with the air mixture screws on the carbs, but otherwise they are done. New screws are coming from the Netherlands (couldn't find them in the US). I'm starting with 125 main jets (up from 115s). I used the great tutorial I found here at the resources. Guitar strings work great for cleaning tiny passages...
Hoping to get the bottom end in the frame next week and the to start final assembly on the engine.
This link has the photos...

Onward...ray: Be well, all!

Sounds very nice. The Barnett clutch may be a mistake

 

[vanzantfrynd]

Why do you say that? Always had good luck with Barnett..

I added new photos of the engine mocked up.

I think I'm having a cerebral flatulation. The clutch kit is an EBC

The motor is in!

The motor is in!

I hope y'all had a nice Thansgiving. We got the bottom end of the motor in the frame Thursday might when my son-in-law was over to help me. Then Monday night I installed the Wiseco pistons and the spent four wonderful hours getting the barrels mounted (boy was that a joyful experience!. Then I got the head screwed on.
In the meantime, after getting parts from Texas and the Netherlands, I finished assembling the carburetors. Floats all adjusted and dry synced. Next is to time up the cams...

Looks great I cant wait to get the 1000, still looking. Can I ask your front brake discs are facing the opposite way, can anyone tell me does it matter which side the front brake discs are suppose to be facing.

If you post the code here your photos will show up for all to see. Most of us (me included) don't bother going to off site locations to see someone's photos.

Thanks Nessism will do.

Good eye! I think you're right and that they need to be turned around. I just got put on hold for a bit. I discovered that my cam chain follower has to be replaced, so things will have to wait til after the holidays. Y'all have a good Christmas! God Bless! VZF

Nice build, subscribed and will be following along with interest.
I am busy with Jennifer, my 1981 GS1000G, also a "from the frame up" rebuild.
You can find my thread in my sig at the bottom of my posts.
This is like a build of twin sisters, keep the updates coming, nice work.
