I was a long time member before I started graduate school part time and stopped checking the forums, so here's my bike that I built with a lot of help from here.
1979 GS1000
Bright orange powder coated the frame
Stock spoke wheels
cartridge emulators and new fork seals
stainless braided coated brake lines (Goodridge)
rebuilt calipers and master cylinders with new pads
replaced most hardware with stainless socket heads
superbike bars
crg style mirrors
painted my mirrors and cam caps with blue "anodized" color paint
carbon fiber overlayed all body work (tank, tail section, side covers, front fender from a newer bike)
some nice squishy grips (dirt bike grips actually)
Dyna S ignition with Green coils and 7mm Accel wires
Custom rear set foot pegs (my design)
Kreemed tank
LED lights in control panel (red backlighting)
new swing arm brearings
All Balls taper roller stearing head bearings
stearing stabilizer
halogen headlight
Tinned copper 10ga ground cables
modified petcock to have off instead of prime and on instead of on-with-vacuum
Dupont chromaclear over carbon fiber work
Pirelli sport demon tires
Rebuilt engine as follows:
welded crank
undercut transmission
stock pistons new rings and hone
new valve guide seals and all gaskets and oil seals
K&N pod filters (including breather)
stainless socket head screws everywhere
rebuilt vm26 carbs with dynojet stage 3 kit (120 mains??)
Vance and Hines 4 into 1 exhaust
new spark plugs
new oil (silkolene)
Still needs:
oil cooler adapter (I will make one... or more if anyone is interested)
sanding and final coat of clear coat on carbon fiber
new head gasket (ughh, I should have bought the factory one the first time)
new battery (it died over the winter without a tender)
