Great lookin' project, should be a blast to ride! Just wondering what handlebars you have on there?

Looks great. I like how you cut the casings around the chainwheel.

Edit: Answered my own question.

That bikes gotta be pretty smokin fast. I'm lookin at around half that power (makes me sad now).

Another update.

Hey everyone. Well I am running into some trouble, I replaced the ebc clutch plates with some stock plates and Im still having the same problem. The starter is bogging down like my crank is hard to turn or somthing. When I turn it by hand it turns fine, looked in all the spark plug holes and it looks clean and normal. pulled starter and the gear on it looks fine. I took the starter apart and it looks good. It will still start up and idle smooth and everything sounds normal. It just takes forever for the starter to turn the motor. I am trying a different starter tommarrow and will see what happens. It started fine the first time. but now it just sucks. Could a bearing get hot and seize or what? The starter Im putting in tomarrow seems to be the same condition as my old one. Does anyone have any ideas?

try a new /different starter, check the charging system

[80GS1000]

How's the battery? Is it old or new? Also is it fully charged?
