    How long to put a GSX1100ET together?

    Here's a brainteaser for you guys.

    I was on the verge of concluding a deal for a GSX1100ET which is in bits. However, the deal fell through when the seller asked if I was up for putting it back together for him and like an idiot I said yes. He's happy to see me alright for my time but I want to give him an idea of how long it will take (the missus has given me the ok to have a proper run at it rather than mix it with the shopping / decorating / gardening etc).

    The motor is all in one lump (and doesn't need opening apparently) but everything else is in small bits - including the carbs, calipers, forks etc. How many hours do you guys reckon to assemble? No bulls*t ' I can do it in a morning' stuff please! Assume it's all there and all freshly painted / polished (which it was 2 years ago).

    I'll pop up photos of the build as it goes.
