Recreating my ex race bike

[limeex2]

Got the bike back from Mike Osowski @ Hy-Per Sports for dyno tuning. Motor is stock with 29k on the speedo. Picked up a set of GSXR1100 36mm carbs from another member and they were a mess. Another member went through them and set them up with lots of new parts. Mike still had straighten the entire rack as it was bent and not properly set up. With the carbs set up properly and a Yoshimura exhaust we ended up with 108 HP and 70 Ft/LBS torque. Motor was left alone as I will go into the motor on my next build, spending the money there. A lot of the stuff I did on this bike was kind of a dry run for the next build. Here's a list of the items that changed front to back. The bike started off as a 82 GS1100E.
GS1000 front spoked front wheel relaced w/ 2.5"x18"rim, HD stainless steel spokes and shod w/110/80x18 Pirelli Sport Demon.
Std GS forks w/Sonic Springs,Race Tech Gold Valves,blocked anti-dive. Set up by Jamie @ Daughtry Motorsports. Terozzi fork brace.
Salty Monk brake update w/Triumph Speed Triple master cyl, S/S brake lines from Triumph Sprint donor bike, EBC HH pads.
ZRX1200 bars.
Honda CB750F tachometer.
Modified fuel tank mounts. Pingle fuel petcock feeding GSXR1100 carbs. Yoshimura Street exhaust with custom mid-pipe and Cone Eng. canister
EBC clutch plates. Originals were slipping on the dyno.
Hyabusa rear sets. Modified seat mounts to accept,I believe an Eikoh seat? members could refresh my memory on this one.
Original Fox shocks rebuilt by Dey-core
GS1000 rear wheel relaced w/ 3.5"x18" rim,HD stainless steel spokes and shod with a 140/70x18 Avon road Road Rider.Pirelli's wouldn't bead up.
Yamaha FZ-1 rear brake caliper w/brake stay removed and custom spacers. 84 GS550ES rotor. Stainless brake line from Triumph donor bike.

The bike is extremely lightweight(will weigh with bathroom scale method later),barely legal in MN,and loud. All my bikes are quiet so I figure I have some decibel credits. It will see an occasional track day but mostly brisk riding on twisty Wi. alphabet roads. I left it unpainted and raw because it is nick named Rat-Race due to my work schedule. It will be a blast to drive as it is a copy of my old race bike,only better,which was fun in its day. The motor mods you guys will all ask me about(oil gears,weld crank,clutch basket,electrical)will be done on my next build,a GS1100ES which will see modern suspension/wheels,more miles,paint and HP.

What's with the high handlebars?

What's with the high handlebars?

They came off an "L" model and were free...

ZRX bars, Renthal 754's are almost the same bend. About a 2" rise, nice pull back angle that is ergonomically correct for my wrists and wide enough for leverage. Any lower and I will have wrist and neck issues and be into clubmans or clip-ons

Your seat is a Zerodd, I have one on my 1000. Here is another shot, not my bike http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...and-Mods/page4

I think the bike looks quite nice the way it sits. Is the Hi-Per Sports you mentioned in Maple Grove? I'm going to be looking for a place to have my dyno tuning done this spring once I get my bike back together. Basically the same 82 1100e engine as yours but with a dual Yoshi exhaust, Dyna 2000 ignition and RS36 carbs.

Fjbj40 thanks. Nice bike and thread! Will read more. Redliner1100. Yes, he is in Maple Grove. 2nd bike he has done for me. Quality work and a great guy.

No no no, that's not my bike! That's ohiocaferacers bike/ thread. Just pointing out the seat to you.

here is my bike, gosh, those mirrors are ugly!

[limeex2]

Beautiful bike. Where did you hide the battery and electrical? What type of rear sets are you using. Nice ride.

[Buffalo Bill]

Yes, all very nice bikes!
Just wondering, how much do your bikes weigh?
They kinda remind me of the new Norton Commando 961, only 414lb.
Price: £15,750 or $22,470.

[limeex2]

The new Norton's are sweet. Just got a scale this week. Finally warm enough to justify being out in the garage. I'll post it when I get some numbers

Still needs some cleaning up. I built a carbon fiber tray to hold all electrical except RR which is mounted under the tray out in the open for cooling.

Weight? She is 439 lbs empty of fuel! I am sure I can shave another 10 lbs or so if I wanted. I will be busy working on the 1100ESD for now. But the next focus on the 1000 is suspension work especially the forks, things like springs and emulators.

Gsxr rearsets, battery is a Ballistic 6 cell mounted in rear tail cowl. The 6 cell is a little small with the Yosh 1085 10:1 compression ratio. Use to have starter clutch kick back but that has been fixed with the ignition retard lever.

Had a shakedown ride, then took the bike back to track where it belongs. It went better than expected other than front suspension issues. Ran perfect. All recommended mods worked great. I have a feeling, it will get out again.

Looks killer!

Glad you have it mostly sorted.
Take that plate off or you might be tempted to test ride on the streets. haha.
