    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey everyone just joined the forum - I just placed a deposit on a 1982 GS1100E - I'm freakin' stoked about it. I've been admiring many of the amazing projects on the forums.
I will pick up the bike next week it has some engines mods and I would like to know what there is that I should check to ensure everything was done right.
The bike has a 1260 kit in it I'm told, with Andrews Cams, APE manual cam chaim tensioner, 4 into 1 exhaust, supertrapp, and upgraded ignition. It has a lockhart philips oil cooler installed. It is of course jetted (looks to be stock 34mm Mikunis) - has a K&N filter mounted on the secondary part of the stock airbox. Has a later engine serial number so the crank would have the factory welds. That's about all I can see from visuals and seller info - he was not the one who had the work done - he only discovered it when he went to replace the leaking base gasket.
What should I look for in the head, clutch, or tranny to make sure that everything can handle the fairly high output?
Sorry for the lengthy post - thanks for all the great information you guys put out on these fantastic machines!
 
Hey ! No secrets Ray

Didnt see anything mentioned about the suspension. Rear shocks and front springs with fresh fork oil. If you get that beast into triple digits watch out for speed wobbles and head shake. Replace the steering head bearings with All balls.

Have fun and welcome to the EZBoyz club.
 
Watch out for spun cranks and knacker cylinder liners. 1260 is right out on the limit of the barrels and are likely to fail if thrashed well on a drag track.

If its been dragged I'd stay away from it.

Suzuki mad
 
1260 is a great performance piston kit

get bigger intake valves installed and some big web cams also have the head decked .090 or so to pop up the compression. you'll have a beast to ride then!! and it'll be a street bruiser to be dealt with!!
 
Thanks for the responses! I will try and get some pics up when I get her home. Can't wait for this Holiday Weekend to get here! At least I will have time to play.
