This might be helpful http://gsarchive.bwringer.com/storagecliff/images/r-r_replacement.pdf These guys has OEM replicas and a "race alternator" which produces 25A. Pricey... https://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/Race_Alternator_Systems.html

To wrap it up: I purchased a 33 year old bike, dunno what's been done with it since. It's not original. That 's for sure. I've simply taken off the Mikuni's and measured with a caliper. A caliper is not dead on, and center is very hard to measure. That's why I've measured counter edge. The center is measured in AutoCAD later on: I'm adapting my TBs to this spacing, since it's currently fitting carbs. Cheers

I thought it was bikes from Japan in general from 70-80s that had under power stator, and the wire gauge was thin. I changed my stator and regulator on my 84 GS

Have you tried Wemoto.com? Great service, quality. A bit pricey Cheers

Ah, sorry, I'm talking about edge, not center. Center is hard to measure with a caliper

I've actually gone for a gsxr600 k1-3 throttle body. Working on a project blog. Hopefully i can upload something during the holidays. The gs had 36-52-36 spacing and the gsxr has 36-36-36. Should be pretty straight forward, but I'm not very skilled, so you probably gonna laugh at my blog. Check out the project thread "TurboGS is going EFi" by @bruteforce Picture heavy and great solution

Very neat system! And great sound, check out ewwtube. A bit pricey, but with that look and sound, why not

Mean freakin' machine!!!!

God luck! Going to be a great journey

I just came across Laser Xtreme GP. Looks and sounds pretty wicked!

Looks very promising gs7_11! Do you have any videos with sound?

Welcome! That's a mighty fine question, but it's very subjective and personal. I have a 4-1 Marshall exhaust. It's deeper sounding than the original 2-1+2-1. Still it's not deep enough for me. I've been searching on u-tube and found a V&H drag race megaphone 4-1 than sounded really cool. But I don't think the government would appreciate it, nor the neighbors... For comparison I had a Lazer carbon fiber slip-on installed on a kwak ZR-7. (Dear moderator, forgive me my sins). It was really deep, like my duc monster 800 with termignoni exhaust. Found a clip online of a GS with termignoni, but the audio was crap. There are several guys in here made there own. Have a look around But yeah, I would like a video /audio sticker thread with exhaust in focus I'm in the search myself but I like the classic look and are leaning towards V&H street legal megaphone Hope this was some what helpful Cheers

Nicely done!!

Maybe we should consider the family aspect as well? For startes, your brother deserves a fair price. You deserve a fair price. Since it's not loved and not original, and your his brother I'll say £800, and a special Christmas present

Wow(!), awesome job!!! =) Do you TIG or MIG on this?

Can you post a video, please? I'm really struggling with deciding what exhaust I should purchase for my GS. I had a very cool low end sound on a 750 with Lazer exhaust system. I like low end

Nice! What's your plans?

Hi @Ådne95 Sweet! I really appreciate it! I'm located in Fredrikstad and would be looking for a test bench next summer I hope =) Your definitely right on the expensive part... Budget of an new mc is within reach before you know it. Trying to keep this on the low side. Cheers, Takk =)

You are absolutely right. The age has concerned me. Looking at the solution at @bruteforce I'm convienced that the GSXR is a better solution. The GS1000 frame has more space than his 550. He's solution looks very good, and I believe I'll try to copy it as far as possible. I'm going back a bit to the planning stage. I have already decided that the new ECU should take over the ignition. So @arttu I'll buy taco-wheel ++ from you I don't have much time, so for my part it has to be a lot of planning and purchasing parts. When I'm sure I got everything covered I'll start pretty intensive. Planning a long weekend when the misses and the kids are out of the house Thank you @coombehouse, you are absolute right. I have to listen and follow peoples advice. I'm on thin ice on this sucker

That's some serious reading thank you!

Hi @Arttu ! Funny you linked in your old project. That was one of two sides that got me into the idea 7-8 weeks ago. Since then I've been searching and reading =) Well in that case it's a no brainer! GPZ Throttle body, with nozzles and pump is really cheap. I'll buy ine instantly =) What do you have in mind, and what's the price? I'm very interessted Thank you =) That's a very good tip =)

Hi! Not at all in a hurry. I have a job, and kids.... say no more Very interesting indeed! How far are you with your project? Hi Blubber, Great! That's useful information. Thank you =)

Thanks, So I've seen =) I've red posts from Arttu, and projects. Most of the projects in here has turbo and crazy ass hp. I feel I'm a bit on the lame side :p

Hi! I bought a GS1000G 1984 model last year. It had tons of plastic on it. Looked like a Goldwing. I've stripped it down, and rebuilt it as a cafe racer "light". I like comfort since I use my bike for commuting every day. So I'm not looking into crazy ass horse powers. Any who, I'm struggling with the carbs. I've done proper cleaning and rebuilding. It works ok now, but some of the parts where not looking to good. I have to do more. Parts tend to be a bit expensive here in Norway, even buying from US, the taxes for import ++ is heavy. I'm playing with the though of converting into fuel injection. Where I live the weather is very different, with huge variation in temperature and humidity. Resulting in carbs would need tuning 3-4 times a year to be optimal. 1. Is there a throttle body I can use direct on the existing intake? I'm looking for approx 100 hp, and have been looking at suzuki, Gurls blouse, kawazaki throttle bodies. Looks like 600ccm has 34mm and approx 100 hp. 2. Can I use a standard ECU, or do I need a micro-squirt? 3. Do I need cam indication for the ECU, or is it sufficient with an oxygen sensor? During the season there's some crashes, and a decent throttle body and an ECU is pretty cheap coming from any bike. I'm also looking into replacing the old ignition to a Dyna S or 2000, but that's not an real issue. It's not the original ignition at the bike at the moment. It's some kind of upgrade, but it's not electronic. Thank you for your thoughts. This is off my base knowledge. I've been fixing two strokes engines since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 34. Don't know that much about fuel injection. Jens

Very cool! I'm thinking of doing the same with my GS1000G. Following this thread**
