I'm not a big fan of having to keep re-polishing stuff.I lose a bit of shine but I can live with that.Now I can get going.Canceling the buffer.The grinder does a good job.

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."

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

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!

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.1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

^^^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 .
