Re: GS450 "Sport" - Reassembly begins.....
Good stuff Rich! Man I remember seeing mine in bits like that... I've gotta get stuck into something again, I hate this waiting around! Hahaha
I remember seeing those ridges in the outlets and thought nothing of it... maybe I should have gotten them out too hey? Oh well...

Re: GS450 "Sport" - Reassembly begins.....
Thanks gents!
Pete, I inquired about those lips on the GSR, and 1 person said they were there to increase intake velocity (something like that......I just woke up). But I had never seen anything like them on any other bike.....ever. Remember that GS450 I took pictures of at Barbers (full fairing, side car, etc)? I asked the owner about those lips and he cut them out as well.

Re: GS450 "Sport" - Reassembly begins.....
Problem is, I've never ridden a stock 450. And with any luck I'll be getting some hopped up carbs for this motor......but those little lips just didn't make any sense to me.
I'll see if I can get those pics for you Gary. I forget where I have and have NOT posted them. You'll dig the bike though, it is sharp......

The sidecar rig was all kinds of rad.

Re: GS450 "Sport" - Reassembly begins.....
Thanks Rich.
I keep looking at the viper 1/4 fairing and others and talking myself out of it. If I get this thing running right I may end up having to take the plunge sooner or later. Love me a vintage looking bike with the 1/4 half and full fairings. Just adds a look you don't get with the raw bike.
On the other hand if I get this bike running right for next spring I could always find me another bike to rebuild with a full fairing..Yeah thats the idea I think I like most. I could always find another cheap build to try and slide past swmbo..LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: GS450 "Sport" - Reassembly begins.....
Aaaaah I remember seeing that somewhere now Rich... maybe on the Barber pic's thread? Can't remember...
Looks like a good job for sure!
Be interesting with the brake on the sidecar wheel though... wanna have that sync'd nicely or hard breaking could get very interesting!

Re: GS450 "Sport" - DOHC'ed goodness
Yeah Pete, I didn't ask about the sidecar brake......I would think it wouldn't even get hooked up. That could get pretty scary!
So I got around to painting the head the other day:
Went from this:
Bolted up:
And got the cams in and lined up:

Re: GS450 "Sport" - DOHC'ed goodness
Ha! I do have plenty to do on this one though. It's nice because there's not a lot of "custom" work. So this is what it's like to just bolt a bike back together........And besides, there's some small stuff to do on the GR as well.
