In March I bought a basket case, seized 1980 GS1000G to rebuild. Didn't really intend it that way, but buyer beware on Craigslist and I got had. So I tore "Izukes" down, wading through rust, Black Widows and mouse turds. Got the cylinders off (lots of fun) and started replacing parts.
Fast forward to now-
The frame, trees, swing arm and wheels are painted. All new bearings in wheels, swingarm and steering. Rebuilt and repainted all calipers with EBC pads. Steel braided lines, rebuilt rear master cylinder, new front master cylinder. The forks are rebuilt with new seals and have been polished. The rear differential was R&Rd and polished. I just reassembled the chassis. I went through the entire wiring harness and checked every wire and connection, fixing every problem I found.
The cylinders have been bored for a Wiseco 1085 kit, the cylinder head was R&Rd by Doug Chandler (yes, the road racer) at DC10 Performance and Midway Machine in Salinas, Ca using APE parts. I just got those parts back.
I am going to start reassembling the engine next week. Iam working on gathering small parts that the very tried carbs need. I polished the engine covers and painted the block gloss black.
Plans include Dyna Coils, new stator and clutch. I am planning on sealing the tank and installing a new petcock and painting the tank International Truck Turqois (the color of my Father's 68 International truck which was sold, providing the money to buy Izukes). I plan on having the seat cut down a bit and redone.
Here are some before pics. I will follow up with more current pics to catch up and as I go.
