it looks like what happens when you bottom out a bolt and keep tightening. do the studs get run right to the bottom? never built an engine so I don't know shit, but I have cracked a case using too long of a bolt before edit: after a reread I see you guys have covered bottoming out bolts.

very nice!

shit I hope not as I will be ordering them for the kat. but ya zero trouble with it. I didn't even bleed the whole system, just did a cheeky bubble bleed until all the bubbles were gone and I had a solid lever. test drive showed I have enough front brake to almost bottom out the forks, or lock the front wheel

hah! it is ya. its going to be a long road for that one though. I want to blast the frame, check for rust and gusset it all. so it has to come right apart. kat might see the road the end of next summer.......maybe.......:S mean time this is still a fun bike to ride

I ordered a set of these to try them out. cheap enough hoped they wouldn't be too bad. well above expectations! I have never had an easier clutch pull on any of my 1100s or 1150s. and the master works really well too, lots of lever not mushy at all. I will order another set for my katana. if you don't care about the factory appearance I highly recommend these. http://r.Eblag.com/qdPPon

ya you nailed it! it looks amazing.

nothing new to report with this bike. I haven't made any more changes to it. I am just riding it and enjoying it until the seasons over. I am going to retrieve my katana from storage today though. stay tuned for the long drawn out rebuild thread

thanks guys!

well I have been riding it about a month now and no issues at all. I love the way it handles now that I am used to it. very happy with the end result.

or you could do the factory insert style for the es in wes cooley blue

maybe try and use the subtle break line for a two tone. I did that on my katana years ago to good effect (at least I think it looked good)

same as what was on my 1982 gs1100e. that looks like my buddies 81 cdn kat. my 83 kat had the same style as the ef wheels.

I think he may have been referring to coil recharge time. because the coil has to recharge to generate the spark twice as often with a two wire per coil unit than if each plug has its own coil then the recharge time is halved.

Just back from its first shakedown cruise. It sure handles different with that 16 inch front . don't think I like the factory clip-ons either to much turn in, kinda like riding a wheel barrow . I will probably put the aftermarket clip-ons on. The front forks need some nitrogen but other than that it feels ok. the rear wheel is about 6mm offset from the front but I cant feel a difference in the turning. I will get some new spacers made though just the same. all in all I am very happy with the end result. my jbweld repair on the side cover didn't hold. what do guys use to glue those mount pins back on? jb kwik weld didn't work.
