first question
where can i get some new pistons rods and cams and cranks for the zuki
it is a 1978 gs1000 needs complete rebuild motor comes first:D
thinking of boring it to 1085 with larger cam shafts with longer lift
and a forged crankshaft
i wanna put out about 150 hp or so



im doing a complete overhaul on my gs because i have to sell my ninja
yes i bought a kawasaki :(
my ninja is for sale if anyone wants to buy it
2006 Kawasaki ninja 650r few mods more info pm me
the sale of the ninja is gonna fix my truck
but i am saving to fix the gs
 
There are only 3 places I will send a roller bearing crank for work. Gardner Racing in Maine, Pearson Racing in Ohio, & Accurate Crankshaft in Florida. Ray.
 
Wow, Ray, kinda sucks that you don't have anybody local. :-\\\

I am fortunate enough to have Pearson almost literally in my back yard. (About 20 straight-line miles)
He did a bit of work for me, and we almost did an upgrade on Mrs. Steve's bike. :eek:
He had all the parts, but decided that the liners would be a little too thin, even for mild street use, so we stuck with "Plan A". :o

I have seen enough of his operation to feel VERY confident using his services again, and even recommending them to others.

purchase and install an 1150 engine and be done.
used parts are cheap and you have a much better platform.
 
new idea
i want to do a full rebuild on this bike not just simply swap it
is it possible to attach 1100 heads to a 1000ec
i want to give this bike the most possible power
also i found some over sized pistons for about 600 on ebay is this worth it or no?

1100 what? G? E?

G - yes
E - no

Piston - $600
Boring -$2-300
Gaskets - $150
Crank service - $300+
Clutch basket - $200+
Undercut trans -$400
Ported head - $300+
Carbs - $300-1,000
Oil cooler - $100

This was just hammered out in another thread - expect to spend $2-3K to build an 8V motor over 120 HP

150 HP can be achieved, but expect a short life

It's cheaper to swap in a newer motor, or simply buy a modern bike that already has more HP (any 600 SS)
