Exhaust is looking extremely tasty.
Also, I definitely prefer the filters you purchased, both in style and fitment.
I should have went with those over the individual oval KN's (RC-0984) I went with. They are a much tighter fit than you dealt with unfortunately, had to slight crush inside top portion of 1 & 4 filters in order to fit. But I'm less of a perfectionist at this point, I really just want to hear it run before winter hits us! Catching back up in your thread should continue to motivate me in that direction, some really clean work going on here.

Did you already, or have you considered running direct fused power to coil via coil relay mod/ switched by ignition at kill switch? I'm sold on that now after doing so on my girlfriends GS450S here and my buddies GS650G. Both are running very strong and it's nice to see no voltage loss @ the coils.
 
Drey6 not thought of the running the wiring for the coils like that .I've just powered them straight from the m unit .Thanks for the comment about pipes
 
Video of bike running with new pipes .Still running a little rough think carbs need a good clean .just a few little bits left to do .then I can strip her down and get every thing painted &powder coated .https://youtu.be/y25Qy-q9zI8
 
Thinking of a change of plan got the chance of a 650 engine .So I can do the top end swap which makes the bike 675cc .anyone done .This swap just like to know the pros&cons to it before I take the plunge .cheers
 
No thoughts on the engine !! Anyone .I went a head and bought the 650 engine &carbs.not sure if I'm going to use it.yet on this build still trying to work out what's needed to do it.found quiet a bit of information on the gs resource forum .other things going on at min.sent tank &mudguard off for painting .he's really busy so should be about 8weeks fingers crossed .
 
Also the previous owner sent me some old pics of bike .in different states
