GS1100G Motor and bike Build (aussie wassa)

[pete]

Definitely! Sounds set to go for fire in the belly!

[retro]

no updates today waiting on parts
but did get hold of a left hand switch block and same side foot peg

was out all day had to go buy a xvs650 (at an awfully good price LOL )

[psyguy]

came up with 200/185/187/200 so got to be happy with that

interesting numbers... mine never got that high even with a re-bore and new o/s pistons

[retro]

well coils arived (one wire ripped out of left one )
starter (that works )
carbies started to clean and half screws missing popped the float bowls and mmm no floats or anything (did the guy get a call at 11 pm from me you bet he did )

[pete]

Geez what a knob! Has he got them and didn't bother putting them in or do you have to find some?

[retro]

have got him to send another set mate will use both to make one good one and send the others back

but in saying that going to look at a gs850 with a 1100 motor in it today for a parts bike so will be all good and may even have a spare bike mmmmmm wonder what i could do with that (evil grin)

[retro]

bought it even if i only use it for parts was worth it





oh a question for the queensland aussie lads

any one know of any mechanics and or someone who knows how to do good motor work around the coast or lower brissy who would be interested in cash work and or profit sharing with all the bikes i buy (my mechanic down here just passed away last month so at a bit of a loss)

[pete]

Nice one Wassa, extra parts are always good!

Good question on the mechanic... I only know of guys like Joe Marshall and suspect that's probably not going to help... last I heard he was booked for months!

There is a guy that runs another forum I'm on who is supposed to be good (never met nor used him) called Ozzy (http://www.ozracing.biz/) but not sure if he's south enough for you etc.

I'll inquire over on the Kat forum if I remember too... oh and there's a fella over there chasing a Kat 750 frame only as well, has all the other bits just missing the frame.

cheers mate but looking for some one who wants to get into bed with me so to speak ( business start up i'm at the stage i need someone who wants into it )

on another note got the 1100 motor firing in the 850 frame she will run no probs just have to clean the carbies out

and rang the bloke with my other carbs that where supposed to be shipped last monday - he only shipped them yesterday lol but means fingers crossed i will have two running 1100s on weekend - will run the both up to temp and see how they go no smoke all good smoke mmm rip em apart and start rebuild lol

[boingk]

Good stuff mate, let me know if you wanna get rid of one of the 1100 motors hey? I'd dearly love one to graft into my 850.

I'm just South of Sydney.

mate i will prob sell the 850 with the 1100 in it as a running bike once im finished doing mine will have every thing to have her including spares by the time im finished

[boingk]

Sounds good mate, if you do let me know

Cheers - boingk

[pete]

Got ya' Wassa... and in that case nup don't know of anybody at present...

Glad to hear you got her running! Now the real fun begins hey?

[retro]

want to put a NOS wiring harness on her but do you think i can find one

any one know where there is one available ?

Oh by the way she runs smoked up for the first firing let her run up to temp stopped her let her cool down guess what NO SMOKE so should have a good enough motor for now (evil grin)

[pete]

Mick Hone lists the '84 model harness... $273.50

No idea if it's still actually available or not but they don't have any in stock...

Nothing on eBay but you can try a wanted post on here and also Tiaro motorcycle wreckers.

Also Old Gold spares maybe?
