  1. Thanks guys I am taking much longer than I had ever expected on this particular project. I seem to find myself just staring and thinking more than building as I get older…but it will get finished.
  2. A little work done this week. Still waiting on my new fork tubes to get it back on two wheels.
  3. My left for dead project GS1000…. Now living it’s life outside of Memphis Tennessee area…sold to fund more two stroke projects
  4. Brought frame back from the sandblaster and put some paint on it yesterday. I used a polyuroxy black primer and then clear coated it with about 10% flatner to give it the right factory look. Sandblasted frame Polyuroxy black primer Clear coat with 10% flatner
  5. Took my frame/swingarm to get sandblasted this past Thursday. A shop around the block from where I work, does industrial powder coating…and sandblasting on the side. Will be a few weeks till it comes up on its cue, and then I will take it to work and get the bits painted. Also was able, after about a 6 month search, to find an aluminum lower triple clamp from a 74 TM400… to replace the bent heavy steel original from the TS…
  6. My Ikon shocks showed up earlier than expected and became a nice Christmas present Have a couple weeks off work for shutdown, so I’ll be getting the bike stripped to bare frame soon now.
  7. Swingarm is too narrow for that. The springs would get in the way of the caliper/sprocket, and would not be able to line up with the mounts on the frame as needed. And I don’t really want to cut it up.
  8. Picked up a CalFab swingarm a while back, but once I won the bid…I came to realize it was originally for a Kwak, although it was on a GS1000 at the time. It will work, but I won’t be able to use my time period correct Fox shocks. Hard to say right now if I’ll use it or not…have TS/TM400 supermoto project that has to get done first.
  9. I had one that I gave up on 72 frame and engine, 82 GSX1100 swingarm, 86 GSXR1100 front end and rear wheel…. After picking up the engine a couple times, I figured I would build a RGV250 that weighed about the same as the GT engine itself, and modified could produce better power.
  10. I think I’m going with this look….with the covers polished like the hubs. Next step is to totally disassemble the bike, and begin the rebuild now that I know where I’m going with it, and have enough parts for the rebuild to start. _________________
  11. Soda blasted the cases and cylinder today. Trying to decide if I want the engine all black as original, or to polish out all the covers, and edges of the fins to brighten up bike a little. need to make a new bracket for the exhaust also, now that I know exactly where it fits up to. Also got all my trans bearings and seals, and my gaskets should be here by the weekend.
