    Thank you!!

    Is it me....or is this forum dead?? This thread has somewhere around 2200+ views, but hardly any replys or comments. Seems odd??? Maybe the forums arent as active as they used to be, now that there is more places for social media......maybe i'm getting old....LOL!

        The velocity stacks are from the stock air box. I just removed them from the air box and installed them on the bike. Learned that from doing vintage road racing. Alot of the old airboxes had rubber velocity stacks in them. The factory designed them for those carbs and they usually flow the best and they are free....no need to buy stacks.

                How many teeth in the front and rear sprockets, and how many links in the chain? ('82 1100e, I'm about to replace chain and sprockets.)

                  In all likelihood he is running 530 like most of the rest of the world.

                        I built the swingarm from a gs1100 swingarm with a brace from a CBR900RR. I welded the brace to the bottom of the gs1100.

                          I am running a 530 chain...no clue on number of links. It a 17 tooth front and a 43 tooth rear(need to run a 48 rear to keep stock gearing).

                            I've been following your buld. Have it bookmarked for reference when I start the restomodification of my skunk. My tank has pin hole leaks and I'm convinced to try the caswell kit. I was going to try brazing it.
                            The bike looks great. Motivating me to get cracking on mine.

                              Nice work onr the 1000 and the cb.
                              I have myself a cb350 racer, I hope to find some spare time to finish it and to do a few VRRA rounds.

                                Caswell tank kit is an amazing product. I was skepitcal about it......having never used a tank liner kit and didnt want to create a bigger problem. Its been over a year and a half with fuel in it and not one issue. I'm all for welding or brazing a tank first and foremost.....but sometimes.....the Caswell kit is a better solution. It was in my case.

                                Thanks for the thumbs up on the bike....appreciated!
