Got my GS 750's

[pete]

Awesome!!! Doesn't that just make you feel so good? I remember how it was for me the first time I could wheel it, and I didn't even have an engine in it!

Definitely making progress now

OMG managed to do a little more today;

Got the rear on.Nice to be able to move it on it's own wheels!Yes I pumped up the tires,0 PSI in the front

No where near finished but a big milestone non the less.

Got the instrument pod on but the pics weren't good so this is it Yes Pete I probably will.I'm not rebuilding my engine though

Hahaha mate if you don't that means you will have hit a major hurdle and I don't wanna see that happen!

So, does this mean you tore yourself away from the forums for a bit today? Did you cope ok with the withdrawal symptoms?

And here it is:

Well plugging away at things here.Got the front wheel in with the spacers the right way roundGetting the instrument pod on to,painted the hardware on that to.Went to plug in the coils.Go "where the **** are the terminals?".Had them in backwards on the wrong sideDoing some other painting,pics to come when that's done.

Test firing a little ways off,probably closer than I think though.Do have another change in the color though.My wife wanted her bike purple.I said if you can spray it you can do that.We looked though BOM and gallery pics and the color that caught her eye was the Champagne on the 1100's.The more we looked a cars in this color the more we like the Chrysler Champagne metallic.Was not really wanting to do red again so this idea has grown on me!
These are the inspiration for this choice:

She's lookin' real good. You must be getting close to the test firing.

^^^Did that yesterday.Sorted out some wiring stuff I wanted to get done:

Not the best pic.You can just make out the new ground to the Reg/Rec under the bolt.

Goes up to a battery ground.New ground to the frame while I was at it.
I was looking at the stator wires thinking of running them to the stock connectors up here:

Then I realized if I ran them straight back the reached the R/R without 3 or4 extra feet of wire and connectors between them.So I did:

Since taped them up and buried the old wires.Why Suzuki did that is beyond me .

That made a huge difference! As you say, not perfect, but it's the underside so who cares? As long as it flows lots of gas that's all that matters.

Got lazy in my last post.Here a pics of the progress of the 4>1:

This is what it originally looked like. About 1/3 flattened.

Painted it anyway.

Looked OK but it was not really a great way for it to be.
Enter this thread http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=165772 Great a way to fix it!
Got the tool from Gstexas:

And used it as soon as I got it home:


Then cleaned up some of the scars with a file.

Painted it yesterday.

Nice and round again!

Love those carbs, and I think you just helped me identify that extra rack I have kicking around. Exactly the same as yours, thanks.

Those carbs are pertty!

Got the header tool today,did the headers to.Write up in post #20 here

Haha good stuff... he thinks you're crazy? Man he ain't got no idea! He needs to be introduced to the world of the GSR...

Putting my freshly polished pieces together has been more hassle than I thought.Putting the right side together I snapped the passenger peg pin.Well I've got more so I polished up another one.

Yeah polished up a left instead of a right

All good now.Painted a few bits to.Swinger's in the frame,battery box to.
Entered the build off,sent the guy running it a link to this thread.His answer was "Wow that's crazy......good luck with the build."
