Had to machine down the hub from the gs1100 wheel to the height of the gs450 hub so that the chain lines up. Want to do this right the 1st time Sent from my SM-G960U using DO THE TON mobile app

Rear setup is looking nice. Switched to a gs1100 rear wheel and a disk setup from a gs850. Rear stabilizer bar is made from 1x1 aluminum square stock Sent from my SM-G960U using DO THE TON mobile app

Here's a mockup from 2yrs ago before the long hiatus. What's funny is that this whole can of worms started from wanting to upgrade to r6 rearsets lol. We are fabbing a new 2-1 pipe with a sutpertrapp muffler as well. I need to find a better clevis solution to the rfy shocks. Sort of attached to...

Hey guys. Sorry to leave yall hanging for 2.5yrs! After starting this post, I bought my 1st house shortly after in February. It was a fixer upper so it's kept me busy! I got to work on the bike a few times but not any real solid progress until recently. We ended up ditching the drum brake...

Update: finally dove in head first and went for the swap. Here's a rough mock up. My question now concerns the pivot bolt. I didn't aquire the katana pivot bolt when I got the swingarm. I do know it's fatter and longer (that's what she said [emoji1] ) than the gs450 pivot. I was wondering if...

Well I'm aware that it's takes some creativity and fabbing but I'm hoping to see some examples of modern rearsets attached to rear drum brakes. Also, what's a better route? The universal type rearsets sold everywhere or adapting modern sportbike rearsets? Gathering ideas for my gs450 Sent from...

That'll do it. Glad I could help! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using DO THE TON mobile app

I had a similar issue on my 82 gs450 last year. Turned out that one of the floats had a pin hole leak in it. Causing the float to let gas in and not be so buoyant. This allowed the needle valve to stay open and flood. Also my needle valves were worn so I cleaned em up and repaired the float...

Hey guys, so I converted my gs450 to 500cc's using a gs500 jugs and pistons and now I can't get it to idle down low. It will idle high (2200 rpm) and rev up fine with good power but if you let it idle for very long, the idle drops and then dies of you do not give it gas immediately. When the...

I've decided I'm gonna go with the emgo 7". Got a buddy who's happy with it. I'll replace the supplied h4 bulb with the Sylvania h4 I have in my bike currently. I'm tired of my bike's 5 3/4" headlight. Want to fill the void more between the forks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using DO THE TON...

So is that a "I wouldn't trust it"? Lol. I'm not concerned about the legality. Most people don't pay attention to stuff on bikes anyway. Especially here in dfw Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using DO THE TON mobile app

Is this too good of a deal for a combined headlight/turn signal unit? I know its plastic. Think it will degrade in a short amount of time? http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=261705130279&alt=web Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using DO THE TON mobile app

I've actually considered that too. I just LOVE the look of the katana arm. I've looked everywhere and I can't find the pivot width listed for the katana arm vs. the rather half thought out looking gs500 arm. I saw a build thread about a guy putting on a katana arm on his 78 gs400 and it was a...

I don't want to half ass anything so I'll reinforce it. I don't even have the swing arm yet. Picking up this weekend. Just trying to develop a plan right now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using DO THE TON mobile app
