Wow! It adds up fast, doesn't it? I stopped adding mine up. It would probably cause me heart failure. But it sure is fun!!

haha we are suckers for punishment huh.... at least we are not spending it on booze and women huh

man i can't wait for all these bikes to be put together it is going to be a killer trio!

anyone thinking of drilling their fins on the cylinder like the yosh bike and craig smith at oss?

Tar, why you running under shims? going with bigger cams then the 110?

[Tarbash 27]

Well I found a brand new set of ape shim under buckets cheap. $150. Plus I noticed my intake cam is marked 109 and exhaust 110. I just want to have this motor overbuilt. I dont want any problems at high rpms. Its probably more of a want than need thing.

Heyo,
I'm in Brooklyn and need to find a place to powdercoat my wheels and swingarm. Where did you go and have you used them before? Thanks!

I dropped my stuff off at dynocoat. There in bohemia/islip area. I never used them before but I'll soon find out how good they are.

I have been doing work on the bike, just not to much posting.
Im really excited about my seat I got in the mail today. I bought it off ebay UK and had it shipped here. $130 for the seat, $90 for shipping. But I have been looking for one of these for a while. No rips, just needs some cleaning. I scratched that other set pan idea.

Other than that, I'm prepping the frame, wheels, and small parts to get powdercoated, hopefully next week. Have to get the trans undercut next week. I have been working on an older yoshimura pipe. I made a bigger baffle and modified the can a little. Also working on some other small odds and ends. I have decided to run a shim under bucket setup also on the motor. So I am in the process of gathering these parts.

I also decided I'm riding this bike to daytona bike week, leaving feb 28th. So I have less than 3 months to finish this build. Im working in an 8x8 shed at night and its freezing out.

Here's some picures of the seat.

Is that a real Gullari seat, or an old replica? Very very cool!

[Tarbash 27]

Its real, It has the tag on the side and a stamp in the pan. Its a alot cleaner now, I used some mothers leather conditioner on it, those were pictures right after I took it out of packaging. I love it.

Search on ebay UK. there tend to be a few of these seats on there. I saw at least 3 others before I bid on this one.

[Tarbash 27]

Well I have gotton some stuff done since my last post.

I got some engine parts
ape titanium valve spring retainers(shim under)
kz keepers
k&l 20 pc 13mm shim kit. Yes I paid full price.

Also bought a degree wheel, dial indicator/stand, and piston stop so I can degree the cams. Bought a valve spring remover kit. Its makes it so easy.

I also bought a front master cylinder rebuild kit. I had no leaks but thought what the heck. Man, you wouldn't believe the crud that came out of this thing, all rust and corosion. I think I will be buying a rear master kit also.

Forks are completely built, ready to install.

So I have the head together, will just have to to a final valve adjustment when complete. I had to make cutouts on the head around each valve journal so the cams wouldnt hit. Would a pain in the A$$ that was.

I took apart my front calipers (83 GS1100E square pad) to see if they need a rebuild, there absolutely perfect. So I will be repainting those and reassembling them.

I'm still waiting on my trans from Robinson so I can put this motor together

All my stuff is back from the powdercoaters. I put the wheels back together with new tubes.
Here's some pictures. All semi flat black. I forgot pictures of the frame.

Love the wheels!!

[jwhelan65]

Finish

Man that finish is awesome, can't wait to see it come together.....Great Work!...I noticed on the wheel hub you left the sprocket area unfinished..How come?...also what preparation was necessary to powder coat the fork tubes?

The front wheel came out nice. The rear is good but they got some left over sand from sand blasting under the powdercoat. Its not really noticeable until you look for it. I dont mind it. I dont want it too pretty. The camera makes it look a little glossy. There a bit duller.

As for the sprocket, I just did not want anything on there that could cause the rear sprocket to not sit perfect. Its my first experience with powdercoated parts. The powdercoat is very durable, I put the tires on with steel tire irons without any scratches. Ill make sure I learn from my mistake's for the next project, which is a secret.

For the fork tubes, nothing really. I stripped the old paint myself and just gave them to the guy. I guess he just masked off the hole so nothing got inside.
