looking good, makes me want to mono shock my gs1000

A friend came over and helped me set the engine in the chassis so now i have lots to do now. Tomorrow will be a day to make lots of progress.

I got the engine bolted up and the shift linkage sorted without having to modify anything other than taking some bent out of the rod to line it up

[akckhim]

Also got the chain length figured out have to add two links but it lines up great. Tried to get it on by only adding one link but couldn't get the wheel far enough forward without the chain being too tight. So two it is with the wheel back farther than I wanted hopefully it will stretch a little and I can take one out.

I finally got exhaust sorted. The aluminum bracket I made needs a couple of ribs welded on for support. Will post pics of that when I get it back

Pics of said bracket much better with ribs almost no flex

I made some good progress yesterday header repainted installed. Carbs on 38mm in 36mm boots always fun. Almost ready waiting on the wife to finish the seat and I'm gonna change cams the .400 intake and .380 exhaust are a bit to aggressive for street use so I'm waiting for a friend to send me some stock gsxr cams. With 1186cc oversize valves and carbs it still should have lots of power.

Nice, If you have not already be sure and use some anti-seize on those bolts.
