redgs1000

I'm in. And the gs should be looking a bit more finished hopefully

Hopefully try make it next year

Got the tank cleaned inside and looking good. Even the fuel sender came out rust free, need to get a new petrol tap anyone tried a pattern one

I took mine apart as the needle had curled up at the end allowing it to go past the stop pin. I put a jubilee clip round the bezel then put it upside down in some polystyrene insulation, just work your way round the edge with a small screwdriver lifting the edge a bit at a time. You might find it just needs a clean and some light oil , refitting the bezel just work your way round slowly I used a bit of wooden dowel to press it flat. That's where the insulation comes in handy as it holds it in place while your pressing down. Have a go you've nothing to lose if it's not working

Finally got a decent tank. Couple of wee dents to sort and clean the inside before painting

Thanks mate. After the show going to strip the tank and see how bad it is , unless something better turns up il have to get on with it , hoping to have it painted next 4-6 weeks

Got the tail piece fitted and made some brackets for the seat. Once I've sorted the tank or find another one il get it all painted , will be taking it to the Scottish bike show as a ongoing project

Here's the forks off my GS1000L. 37mm diameter. 800mm long from spindle to top. 480mm top of leg to top of stanction

Ive got the front end off a GS1000L . Leading axle forks same as the 1100et can measure the length if you want

Picked a seat up on Eblag. Going to give it a quick tidy up for now then source a new cover later, will have to cut the tail unit to suit the seat or buy another

Refurb linkage back on now
