Looks good . Great jobComment

I am hoping to take some more pics this week. As it has to come out of the corner again . That means the BMW gets stuck in the corner now. I am liking this bike more every day.Comment

Interested to hear some tips, as I have a couple of side covers for my 1100e that are the proper color, but lacking the "GS1100E" decals.Originally posted by Ton1959 View Post1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

I would go for the wet method next time. So you can slide the decals in the right place . I tried it without water but when it is stuck down on the panel it isn't easy to change the position. I also put some tape on the panel to have some sort of starting position for the decal.Originally posted by Rob S. View PostComment

The new Hagon's have arrived.
I have ordered them two days ago and they were waiting for me.Comment

As requested a photo of the bike as it is now. The carbs are going on tomorrow. And I have to tighten up all the bolts and nuts on the rear and front wheels and calipers and swingarm. And adjust the chain.Comment

Today I finished of fitting the carbs and it wasn't a job to look forward to. And the acceleratorcable was the worst thing to fit. But now I know how it is done. I put the rocker cover on and fitted the petroltank.
I tried with a partly charged battery and pressed the button on the starter. I had set the revs higher as normal and it fired up and was running better then ever before.
Air screws set at 2,5 turns out and it runs like a new bike. One happy man here. Now hoping that the camtensioner doesn't leak as I did see a drop of someting below it but I did spray the camcover with wd40 to clean it. It could have run down on the tensioner. I did change the O ring and the seal but not the O ring below the big nut.Comment

She's beautiful.
I know she wouldn't want you saying, but how many miles (kilometers?) on the odometer?
(Kilometers, right? I saw you wrote, "petrol." We don't call it that here.
.)

The GS has done just under 55000 km so around 34375 miles. Was it fuel for your side of the world and petrol for our side?

So getting to look quite nice I think. But still plenty to do

And one more . The Hagon's are great. They fitted the springs that I wanted and I think they are better then the Koni's that I used to have on my previous Gs550'sComment
