simesman Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Been lurking for a little while but recently bought a bog standard GS1000 and just in the process of putting her back on the road. Just going through it and sorting out problems and already found the Aircooled section useful. Not had a big Suzuki for a few years but feels like coming home. Always fancied a big 8 valver but always ran the GSX1100's 'back in the day'. Used to look down on teh GS's but now I am old and boring, they look very appealing. 4 Quote Link to comment

wraith Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Welcome to OSS GS1000, grate bikes put a 1085cc kit in it, port the head and some gsxr carbs and you will never look At a 16V again Unless you do like some/most of us and get another GS1000 or the likes and put a oil cooled motor in it Pics are always good no matter what stage you're at.

simesman Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thank you chaps. Here is a pic from a few days ago. Still awaiting shims from Wemoto and now got 1 of the front calipers bolted on. Had to order a dust boot for the other one as the original was massive and I couldn't fit it back over the piston. The front end is all done so I start on the back end soon. Got a GSX1100 swing arm and need to strip the rear caliper. 4 Quote Link to comment
