1978 GS1000 overhaul crank twist / Gaskets

[BlackStar]

I'm kinda in the same position as far as keeping the bike, my uncle who I am very close to, bought it new when I was 17. He gave it to me in May 07. I'll have it until I die.

Hey I got my 100th post!

Well ive had a bunch of different bikes..most i did cosmetic cafe stuff to and then sold them off. Never found the ONE yanno? But ive pretty much fallen in love with this old 77 GS750B...There is only one bike that i would prolly have over it, and that would be a Kaw Z1 900...but i dont have between 6 and 10 thousand bucks to spend..lol

The Z1 market has gone nuts! And the parts availability too. I hear the Zuki's handle better?

[TheCafeKid]

They are a bit more balanced seemingly...but you can look at a 73 Z1 and see with no doubt where Zook got their design ideas for the 8valve motor

Parts are all back and getting it together. Thanks to Schnitz racing in Decatur Indiana (valve job, bore) and Pearson Racing in West Alexandria, Ohio (crank index, true, weld).
