GS1150 Chassis mods
This is my 85 1150. I've put some GSXR parts on it from 93,94 750. This is a great web site, very helpful. I got some ideas from people here and a few of my own. The bike handles great now, stops a heck of a lot better and feels great. Engine mods will be next, not sure if I should have the engine built or go with a GSXR 1100 engine. Any advice would be great, thanks.Tags: None

Let me be the first to say "Welcome to the forum"\\/ =D>
Especially to one of the finest GS region.
New England.
We have a plethora of GS riders in the Northern New England alone.
We all would be more than happy to meet and help you out.'
Truly a great bunch of riders,both here and elsewhere.
I know advice will come. :-DDoug aka crag antler

Ogri, thanks, I put a lot of time into the bike last winter, I'd like to show you some more pictures but not really sure how. I'm still a little green with the whole computer thing, tell me how to put more on here and I'll be glad to, you don't want to know how long it took me to figure out haw to put one picture on there. The thread starter said I'd reached the maximum amount for attachments....I think, maybe I misunderstood, can you give me a hand? Thanks! I also see most of you have a picture of your bike or bikes next to your name and other bikes you own listed, not sure how to do that either, as I also have a 72 Kawasaki H2Last edited by Guest; 12-26-2006, 07:06 PM.

I would build the 1150 motor, there are tons of aftermarket parts available for it, and it would look better and probably make more power anyhow. My 1150 had a 1129 kit G-4 cams mild head porting and rs 38 flatslide carbs. It had stock chassie, The stock tiny 130 size tire and still ran a 10.34 at 136mph in the 1/4 . with nitrous it ran 9.97 at 148. It was very streetable and after I sold it the new owner took it on may trips ( as far away as NC and piled all kinds of milage on it.

I think the writting is on the wall. There is not as high a demand for the GS parts, let alone the 1150 and the companies who make the performance parts know this. Any catalog I get now does not show GS aftermarket parts, they show Busa parts.
Just a few years ago if you went to any major pro race, compaines had GS parts on hand ready to sell you. Go to a pro race now and what do you see, Busa parts.
As far as the power, I doubt that the 1150 made much over 120HP. What's a stock 600 now days put out? Plus its much lighter. Why try to make a tank into a Corvette, when you can buy a Corvette? For that matter, just buy a Chevy, it will still outrun the tank and not cost near as much as the Vette.
