KATANAMANGLER Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Very tidy repair and a very reasonable price. Quote
Guest Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Bloody marvelous what people can do. Glad you got them fixed in the end. Well done looks a very tidy job Edited July 11, 2015 by GS1000 78 Quote
wraith Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 tidy job and good price ... have you still got that bike you built ,the shaft drive black one you had pics of on the old site @wraith Errr yes but it's somewhat changed in the proses of revamping it and I've put the standard body work back on it but still has the single-sider swing arm but now has the matching front wheel. Will put pics up when it's back to gever.As to crankcases, the man who did them made up brass blanks for where the crank and gearbox goes and then bolted it all together before he welded it up.Where the bits were missing (front/rear mounts) he also machined up new ally blanks, welded them up then machined them up agane for the holes etc. 1 Quote

SiBag Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Would it be worth getting a GS1000 cam bearing journals welded and inline bored ? Quote

Guest Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Good to see people have skills to save these parts on older bikes and there not just scrapped Quote
wraith Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Good to see people have skills to save these parts on older bikes and there not just scrappedYes, as these parts get more bust and get rarer we know we can get them fixed Quote
kiwi Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I agree with wraith i do have a luhurvalee gsx1100 high modded Pip H head which he used on his dragbike, valve kissed piston head and put a few dents in combustion chamber area, and thankfully now all been tig welded and machined back and good to go again.My part to recycling Quote
Guest Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Be good to see the engine once it`s all built up and being used. Are you just going to do it black or a fancy colour? Quote
wraith Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Be good to see the engine once it`s all built up and being used. Are you just going to do it black or a fancy colour? Just a gloss black. Got the bores with 1100cc hi comp pistions,ported CV head with HD valve springs, MTC under bucket shims, Anderson S3 cams, slotted cam sprockets, HD clutch. The only thing I need is a good crank, as I took the crank I had over to Roger and he found out it was f*cked Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Shame about crank someone on here might have one lying around, you never know. Sounds like a pretty decent build though. What sort of horsepower once it`s together? Quote
wraith Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Not 100%, but I would think about 100-110 bhp at the rear wheel, will also be running with GSXR 36mm CV carbs, I know a old GS1000 I had with a 1085 kit and ported head but with standard carbs and cams had 97 bhp on the dyna rolling road.

Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Thats good figures for the old GS,They were 65- 75 horses as standard weren`t they?Can`t remember Quote
kiwi Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Thats good figures for the old GS,They were 65- 75 horses as standard weren`t they?Can`t remember Little low there IIRC highest was about 90hp, and slightly lower on pollution destined area models. Quote
Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Little low there IIRC highest was about 90hp, and slightly lower on pollution destined area models. I see i always thought were only 65-75. 90 not too bad for a standard bike Quote
kiwi Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I see i always thought were only 65-75. 90 not too bad for a standard bikeYour figure is closer to the gs750 they are low 70's Quote
spondonturbo Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Hope you dont mind me asking, but where is the guy who did the repairs based? I have a set of katana cases with the front mounts broken off. Quote
