this is my latest purchase I bought this 1979 gs1000e for $200.00 dollars
with full intention of parting it out but once I got her home I don’t have the heart to. so when the drag bike is done this is next project I have every thing to make it original but I don’t know which direction to go only time will tell

Anthony, you might have a 78 skunk hiding under there




It does have a 78 tank, but without the airbox (black) and carbs (choke lever on the side) I can't tell. Wasn't the GS1000E side badge a 78 item?

I'm really glad to hear you're planning a restoration rather than a parts sale. These machines have a lot of life designed into them.

I do have a 78 skunk but it was in front of the 79. I have the title for the burgandy one with the black tank it says 1979. The 78 i rebuild two years ago when i was 16 it was a christmas gift from my dad it came in three baskets and two trucks

A '78 tank, a '79 title, and '80 side covers and tail.
What does the "Mfg. on" date on the steering head plate say?
A great collection you have there, Anthony.

But I will tell you this, the BLACK engine is WAY faster than the silver engine.

Seriously you take two of the exactly same bike one with the BLACK 16V and another with the silver 16V, no contest, the BLACK 16V will waste the silver engine bike.

my winter drag bike project is almost done. I am waiting for a braded stainless steel brake line and wet sand and buff two more weeks let her rip . I want to break at least 100mph in the 1/8 with the 13 front and the 42 rear gearing (530 convertion) keeping my finger crossed LOL

ant

How are you going to get a 13 tooth 530 front sprocket to keep the chain off the swingarm? I don't think it will clear. Also, everyone with experience KNOWS the black motors are faster! LOL!!! Ray.

Ray is definately right. 13 WONT clear, it will drag the swinger. 14 wont clear either. This i know from trying it.

[anthonygs1000]

It is already on the bike. It is close but not touching. The bike is strutted and it also has 8in over extensions welded and we shimmed the sprocket out 5/8 of a inch maybe that has something to do with it, also there is no play in the chain what so ever. my dads friend charley sobiech who worked for c&w in Florida did not believe it either until he saw it in person. the side of the frame had to have a little touch up with the grinder but that is it when I get a chance I will send you a pick
anthony

p.s. charley said I was going to have to shift as soon as I let the cluch out. what do you think ? he also said the proper gear for the bike should be a 3.0

[anthonygs1000]

Speaking of black motors

we have two of them one is mine the other is dads mabe he will let me ride this one next year 1400 turbo 260 at the rear wheel then the guy
at the harley shop made him shut it down.








Maybe this is the first time I ate clams, but this is not my first clam bake
