Just got a GS550E with some issues...

[Nerobro]

My bike got the engine put back in it tonight. I lost two engine mount bolts.... I'll need to buy those tomorow.

My bike is very nearly ready to ride again.

Next block that gets put in my bike will have 650 pistons and barrels. I can't wait.

As of saturday this is what the bike looks like... Pictures of it's trip out of the basement and the installed engine tomorow.

Lookin good Nero, keep at it buddy. Warm weather is coming

Are you all healed up now?

[Nerobro]

I'm in pretty good shape. Probally 95%. My ultimate goal is to be 110% ;-)

Rock on! Glad you stayed with us and rebuilt the bike. True spirit!!

Probally time to update this thread. So the GS550, is now a GS673.

• Alphabet Exhaust
• GS650 Fork
• Dynojet Stage 3
• Emgo Pods
• CX500 R/R

And in the short term, I have a set of ZRX1100 shocks on the way. A gallon of Black catalized paint. Some blue 1/2" wide pinstriping. And I just might go for a 140mph speedometer. I think I'm going to stick with a plain chain on the bike, I can handle $30 a year for chain on this thing. Especially if I keep doing crazy things to the engine.

Now that the 83 550ES is done and back on the road, it's time to make the 80 pretty versus just functional.

Awesome man..

Let me know how those forks bolt up..

[Nerobro]

The forks are over and done with. This will be the seccond year the 650 forks are on the bike. they are an exact, direct, swap.
