Very nice bike you guys put together there! I finally have an 81 GS 1100 that will be my bracket bike. It's mostly stock except for V&H pipe, K&N's and a re jet. I have a friend that's a pro mechanic giving it a going over to make sure it's track worthy. If I did it I'd get too anxious and skip important stuff to get it out on the strip! In the next week or so I'll be at the Grove for some T&T and plan to enter the ET class at Byron for the last 2WheelSpeed event in September. I certainly hope I finally get a chance to meet a few of you...Like you, I hope the Fall lasts 'til after Christmas!
It looks to me like you're using stock GS wheels... What kind of tires are you using? I need to use the stock wheels at least for the time being and I need skins and any suggestions on what works would be appreciated.
Good luck with that beast!

The back is a gsxr 5.5 inch wide wheel with a 7 inch slick. I was using a 5.5 inch on a widened stock rim. The front is I think a GS550 wheel with a Goodyear slick. Trip has a wheel that will work and if you need the slick, we can work something out. I will be sticking with the 7 inch so the slick is available... The front is not so important. Skinny works the best. I might have a setup for you in that area also... What area do you live in? If you need to talk, 847-334-1688... Hope to see you at the Grove. We will be going Thursday coming up...

I live on the NW side of the city between Elmwood park and Harwood Heights. I won't be able to be at the Grove this Thursday because I'm out of town for the Antique Motorcycle club doings in Davenport and then down to Springfield for the Saturday and Sunday flat track...You may recall we had a chat in posts last Fall...I've been watching the GS forum to see how you've been doing... I like your new bike and wish you the best.
I'd like to get the chance to meet you and the others from the area. I've had brief conversations with a few others who come on here as well on this and other forums. This is getting too long...I'll give you a call after the holiday and we'll get a chance to meet in the real world soon, I'm sure.
Ride & race safe!

[bellucci]

See you when you can make it...And yes I remember...

[trippivot]

Tim will have his schnitz box for testing tomorrow, I'll be there rooting for 200 MPH for him and for 140 for you .

Chief Blackhawk weekend is such a hoot! the redline boys need a guide for Davenport west end - So I'm going too

My stock 1150 did a 12:51 @ 105 haha going thru the traps in 3rd gear

Trip on my scooter

[OldTimeBiker]

How was your evening at the 'Grove on Thursday? Will you be out there again soon?

[bellucci]

Going tomorrow since its supposed to snow next week... That should wake everyone up... We will be going Thursday eve. Trip is helping a buddy with a 200 mph bike and I will be aiming at 140. More important is consistency in the 9.30 range... Come on up if you can...
