Well, done some more investigating and the cams are pitted, probably due to 2 washers on one side and none on the other making it run dry. The existing fuel filter was horizontal and the pipe was a little kinked so got shot of. The air filter, don't think it had ever been changed, looked clean on one side but the other .... errr no. Done the valve clearances, balanced carbs, new plugs and she is running so much better. Think I'll wait and get some more miles out of her. The other half was in mourning as she thought she was going to have to go ............... the bike otherwise known as Delilah (cos she is mine mine mine Delilah)

So you would need the engine and its carbs? what about electrics, coils, ecu?

Asking more out of curiosity than anything else. What motors will go straight in within the minimum of work? I believe a bandit 6 will but that's too small/slow, so 750 or above?

Main jets were waaay too big, bit of fiddling with various jets and mixtures etc ended up with 80bhp at the back wheel. Yes I know that some will say it should be pushing out more, but I'm satisfied with that. Rides well and pulls like a train which is good by me. The aftermarket rev counter is way out so the 7 k not revving out was actually nearer 5k. Hence I was thinking of some digital clocks for it, KOSO or Acewell perhaps

Anyone used them on a GS1000, although my front end is Triumph Speed triple. The existing clocks both have cables attached

Was a bit of a pig to start, cleaned the plugs and got it going ............. took it up to the shop today to get it on the dyno, wouldn't rev over 7k, but left the bike for the week so he has time to fiddle with it

Just to vary the colour, wish I never sold it now ....... ho hum

Whoops, didn't realise that I wasn't supposed to put a wanted ad up, apologies

I'm going to read the rules before my next post.

Its going to get set up on a dyno on Saturday, running rich at the moment (better that, than lean) though I haven't really had a chance to ride it with the weather being how it is

Wiseco big bore 1080, Speed triple front end, GSXR600 rear with GSXR1000 rear wheel, Zephyr tail unit and a marving exhaust (on the other side). Bandit 6 switch gear, renthals, completely rewired, diablo corsa tyres

Coming soon ...........

It is indeed

Hi all, relatively new here, I floated and lurked around a few other boards, but when I sold my old GS1000, I kind of found guilty still being here. However I have now seen the light again and bought, well pick up, a modified GS1000 tomorrow. Definitely not standard!! Being a relatively small community, I am going to guess that its been seen before and it may well be that the guy I am getting it off could be on here. Big bore 1080, speed triple front end, ported and polished head, bandit back end ......... ring any bells with anyone???
