    I will not complain about any of the rust on my bike(s). Your bike has got to be the MOST rusted bike I've ever seen.

    Keep up the good work...there's a nice bike trying to get outta there!

      It's something that can get out of hand fast around here. I don't know what the humidity is like in DE, but in a few weeks it will be like walking into a wall when leaving the house. This bike was probably flooded in Katrina too, but I can't be sure. As long as the engine is ok, I don't care.

        I lived in Abilene, TX in the mid 90s and drove to Destin, FL in the summer one year. That was a real eye-opener with the humidity! All along the Gulf Coast it was terrible. I don't know how you survive out there--I lived in Phoenix, AZ from 1986-89 and would rather deal with a dry heat.

        Hopefully, you find only surface rust on your engine that isn't too threatening. Good luck my GS brother!

          There isn't any rust on the engine. The paint is flaking off the rear of the cases, and there is some scale on the aluminum that is exposed, but nothing has jumped out as being horrible in my eye. There is more dirt than anything on it. I need to hit it with the compressor before I really try and clean it up.

            Didn't mean to dogg your state but I couldn't help but notice every time I stepped out of the car the sweat was pouring off of me.

            Good news about the engine with no rust.

              It's ok, I hate the heat and humidity, but I love New Orleans.

                Carbs

                I got my eBay carbs yesterday. They are from an 850 so I know the jetting will be different. I know everyone says to run the stock air box set up, but since I don't have one I will probably try running pods at first. They at least function, and nothing is stuck on them. The butterflies all work, and none of the slides are stuck. I have them soaking in Pinsol right now.

                    get a baby bottle brush and give the rack a good scrub while they are soaking, it will loosen up the gunk that is on there, and the babby bottle brush will go between the carb bodies, between the springs and should get most of the crap off....

                    did you dissassemble the carbs, at least did you take out the diaphgrams before soaking in the PineSol...and use hot water as hot as you can get it.....

                      No I didn't take anything off of them yet. I thought the Pinsol was safe on all the rubber parts. I got the water as hot as I could. I still don't have my stovetop re-installed so I used hot tap water from my washroom sink which is scalding hot.

                        I put a few more eBay goodies on tonight.





                        I had originally wanted to use the rear peg mount plates off of a T, but I wasn't sure if they would work well with the '80 frame. I got theses with both sets of pegs and bolts for a good price.

                        I also picked up a working speedo puck but didn't get it fit on tonight. Cleaned it up with some simple green and it almost looks new.

                          Are you doing a restoration project of some kind on a GS? Let everyone see what you are doing by posting the details here.

                            I read your thread a little while ago. I plan on rebuilding my carbs in the same manner. I need to order the stainless bolts and everything else to rebuild them. I am also thinking about ordering a JIS screwdriver, but I have a good set on needle nose vice grips otherwise.

                              Cool, people are still reading my thread.....Thanks.....LOL

                              the SS nuts and bolts really make the bike look all that much better, and a whole lot easier to work with if you ever have to take them off again.....

                                Oh I know! I did the swap on my VStar's mikunis the first time I took them off.
