Getting doing on my 82gs1100gz chopper

[82gs1100]

so far is been going slowly but the engine is waiting for me at fast by gast. my wallet isn't ready yet. I just got transfered back from work. so money got tight. and a springfield XD.40 Sub Compact. Iv got just about every NOS part i could. all badges are the gold and black ones for the 83 1100L model. Ill have to take pics and list the part numbers sense i had to research the badges so i got the right ones. i got the engine side covers and the fork cover badges Suzuki dosnt sell anymore. theres a guy on ebay that got a 10 pack in the UK. $10 each
i also got some air shocks on ebay but need the decals for them. ill see if i can get some made.
im not looking at a perfect restoration just want it to look like it is.
the engine will be flat black with polished side covers. true 1103cc web cam 110 grind and a head job 34mm Mikuni RS carbs. Dyna 2000 ignition.
i got a gk seat that needs to be recovered and the pan is solid. i also have the hard bags. im not going to put a fairing on it. iv got a plexy shield for high way driving.
i wish i could change the title of this thread. is should be getting going

i've been re-reading this thread and saw that those pistons are 11.5:1 compression. just wanted to ask if that's correct and if ok/safe for street use?
