Here is a nice system I am considering for my 1000 https://www.ripplerockracers.com/product/suzuki-gs1000-hindle-stainless-steel-exhaust-systems-to-fit-1978-80/

Yup, I did the same on my ESD as that link said to do, fixed several problems with that silly warning set-up

You can fit a 180 in the stock 83 swingarm.

On my 1100esd I disabled it, put in emulators and straight rate springs and holy shit, it handles amazing. Absolutely no mush and it is so confidence inspiring I find myself pushing it harder and harder every time I drive it! Pitch the anti-dive shit in the bin!

SaltyMonk upgrade from GSR?

I am playing with this idea, what you guys think? KN pod with the Suzuki airbox rubber velocity stack. gonna give it a run and see if it makes an improvement

Yup, you are correct

The NA market 1000 Kat is a GS1000SZ, the 1000S was the Cooley replica. The SZ was a one year production to qualify the bike for a racing series AFAIK

A 4.5" would easily fit. I run a Bandit 5.5 in my 1000 with the 1100 swinger. I run a 530 chain with a 5/8" offset front sprocket. I trimmed about .050-.080" (from memory) off the outside of the Cush drive (gs1000) to move rear sprocket in. Chain has about 2-3mm clearance from frame. Nothing will ever be a bolt in when u r doing these type of mods. All my rear spacers were custom. I run a 170 tire.

Well no luck so far. The MM oil has slowly ran between the rings and cylinder walls. So I am thinking something in the gearbox is stuck? Guess I will pull the clutch cover off and have a look next. Unless it's the crank that is stuck, but I doubt it as there was so much oil/fuel in the case and no water.

Have a read through this one, may help https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?73723-Carb-OEM-specs-as-per-factory-manuals

Short found! The screw holding the coil power tang backed out and shorted against the mounting stud. Fixed with lock washers and added best shrink to stud to prevent a possible repeat. I am getting tired of working on this one so I took the hooligan 1000 out for a blast today, picture added to the cool air-cooled bikes post
