I 'might' have an issue with third gear so I've thrown out a call to the masses to ask for some opinions. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=192113Comment

Personally I would get another engine from Chuck. I would hate to put that much time and effort into my bike only to have that engine bite me in the end...'83 GS 1100T
The Jet
sigpic
'95 GSXR 750w
The Rocket
I'm sick of all these Irish stereotypes! When I finish my beer, I'm punching someone in the face ! ! !Comment

Yes its got some tiny knicks but really theres nothing there thats goona bite his "end" If he feels he needs another it will be in the box with the other pqrts when i send it..ive done some checking and to get the engine from Texas to Michigan is anyplace from 325 to 450 bucks. WAY cheaper and cost efficient to get the packages together with just whats really needed in my opinion.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Chuck, I don't think those gears are going to be an issue, but it's nice to know you've got my back just in case it might be.Originally posted by chuck hahn View PostComment

I'd really like to ride it while I still can
I was sure you are younger than me and I still think I am in my thirties!
I must say, with the exception of the damaged parts, the other parts look quite good.
Holding thumbs here that those are the last of the setbacks!Comment

Let me see If I can polish out the sleeve before you add it to the list.
If you have a good nut that will be great, else I will order it along with the washer.Comment

Damn Dale, you have had a time of it with that motor, considering how bullet proof these things are, the PO must have been a really special kind of stupid.
But as allways, your pateince and due diligence and attention to detail are beyond reproach, no doubt she will be purring like she just came off the assembly line when you are through with her.
Poor Penelope, reminds me of an abused child that was left abandoned at the orphanage with no love, only to be adopted by a loving, caring family.
Be gentle with her, she is fragile.Comment

Or we will have to come back again and Drag Dale with us, and come invade the Lone Star State and see what them Stetsons and ten gallon hats are all about.
Outta here, before Dale pops me on the head for hijacking his thread.
