I did take it out! Had to... That's how I figured out the charging system issue. Ran total loss. Ran for over an hour,battery held up fine. Ill dig into the forks this week. I need to get rid of folding pegs too, they were folding up from my feet. Plenty of clearance. Got her on the scales last week. Using the bath room scale method, I came up with 462 lbs.

How much fuel in the tank when she was weighed?
My 1000 came in at 471 with full tank.1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head :cool:

I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.Comment

Basically stock rebuild, however, I have already put in 1150 cams, adjustable gears on the cams also. Dynojet 3 kit also going in, sonic springs up front with MikesXS emulators, Progressive on the rear, pods, full harness rebuild with relays, attempting to build a header for it right now.Originally posted by limeex2 View Post
It is currently a rolling chassis with engine installed, hoping to fire it up this weekend. this is going to be my long distance runner, heated grips, seat, 12 volt and usb outlets.
The 1000 is a blast, but it is only a hour or 2 ride then its not fun.1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head :cool:

OK, fair enough. I've never liked the look of front wheels without fenders, so it stood out to me, but I know that, aside from the protective aspect, that's a matter of personal aesthetics."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."
