^ the bottle jack method is what I was advised to do

Those parts are looking good

Did the same thing and it worked out fine.

Thanks Silverbullet, the parts look good by in large to your efforts in the shipping department! Although I never wanted that much Candianen road grime so I spent some time with a bottle of purple power degreaser before the picture! lol...I will get the jack out and have at it.

Creating little clearance for the 1100 swing arm

Steering stops?

83 1100E front end obviously the steering stops are not correct for my 77's stem. The big stop on the lower triple seems close to correct but the little one stops the steering before you can even get the bars centered.

How do I handle making or modifying existing?

Left to my own devices I decided to cut the existing stop that was not correct and now have full range steering. Now I have to set up a new stop. I also drilled out the the swing arm pivot bolt bushings. I read a lot about it and decided I was willing to give a go. 10 minutes and lots of WD-40 later all went well.

GS1100 frontend installed. Just discovered I need different calipers. GS850 calipers do not fit the GS1100E tubes.



GS1100 swing arm fully installed with Marzocchi shocks. I did a lot more worrying than work here. Lots of warnings in regards to drilling the frame. Took the risk and was sucessful.



I am trying different spacing between the tank and rear section so I can start the frame modifications and decide if I need different rear sets.

Oil Leak:

1) Tach Drive Seals: Replace the O-ring & Seal
2) Leak# 2 could be caused by same slinging oil
3) Leak #3: Airbox hose likely loose and dripping oil. Look up with a flashlight and you will see

It's been a little while but I have made some progress. I have collected parts to do a twinpot Kawasaki brake upgrade on the front, but need to figure out whether I am waiting on Salty Monk to find some one to make some more brackets, spacers, and such or try to figure it out as such as Suzuki Don. I don't have Don or Dans skill so I probably need to wait for Salty to make kits available. A friend of mine came over to the house tonight to help me pull the motor so I clean and paint it. I have begun to detab but need to figure out the seat and or pan so I can remove some of the seat rails. I am waiting on a rear set and I can really get stated on this frame.

My cheap new seat set up.
