Just curious, how much did it cost to have the frame, swing arm and center stand powder coated? I understand if you don't want to say. Just trying to get an idea of the cost of my next project.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

Those parts look amazing. I didn't see the swing arm mod anywhere in the thread. Did you do that yourself? Beautiful parts. Can't wait to see it all come together.1979 GS1000S,

Folks,
Sorry for the lag in updates - I'm a heavy equipment mechanic, and this time of year is "go" time. Been working weekends and long hours and attending training classes during the day (I work midnights). Nonetheless, I've been trying to squeeze as much progress in to my free time as possible.
Final test-fit of trans gears and clutch basket (modified 1100 basket compliments of rapidray)

Checking piston-to-valve clearance using the professional's choice of clay..... Play-doh

After doing the clearance checks, we discovered a *very* small amount of interference between the outside edge of the intake valve and the half-moon relief that is cut into the top of the piston (these are Wiseco 1100 big bore pistons). This would make sense, as I am running APE oversize valves, +2mm on the intake and +1mm on the exhaust.
To solve this, we removed the exhaust and intake valves from #1 on the head and then reinstalled the head/cylinders with a piston (1-2-3-4, respectively) inserted into the #1 cylinder. We wrapped a feeler gauge around the piston to simulate the gap taken up by the rings. Then, with the engine at TDC, we used a transfer punch that had the same diameter as the valve stems and dimpled the top of each piston by inserting the punch down the valve guide until it contacted the piston on both exhaust and intake sides. This will give us a point from which to zero the milling machine when we enlarge the piston reliefs.
Once my buddy is done cutting the pistons, I will post more pictures of the follow-up assembly. Thanks for your indulgenceLast edited by philosopheriam; 07-30-2017, 10:30 AM.Cogito ergo sum - "I think, therefore I am"

NOTE:
For anyone interested in using an shaved 1100 basket in a GS1000, the edge of the original GS1000 plate carrier will have to be turned down on a lathe until it matches the diameter of the 1100 steel drive plate. Otherwise, the GS1000 plate carrier WILL NOT fir inside the 1100 basket - it's a smidge too big. Just an FYI.Cogito ergo sum - "I think, therefore I am"
