My left for dead project GS1000…. Now living it’s life outside of Memphis Tennessee area…sold to fund more two stroke projects

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…

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.

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.

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. -
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.
