Rebuilding the carbs, although i didnt "shine" the outside - i gave it a very good clean inside and out and made sure all the passages are open and clean, replaced the gasket,the rubber plug and all o-rings.
Little more progress,
I re timed the cams and adjusted the valve clearance (after i understood my mistake of timing according to the |F mark instead of the |T)
i filled little oil in each cam "pocket" and closed the head cover.
since i'm going to use an electronic rev counter, i plugged the cable exit - nice that Suzuki have OEM parts for this.
Also go some new plugs
This is my under seat tray, where all the electronics should be installed, i'm trying to figure out what would be the best placement for each component.
after 9 months separated, the engine and frame were united again today
I did it all by myself so managed to scratch the frame a little. but other then that it went well.
I'm not 100% ok with the seat, might take it back for some modifications
Working on wiring...so far all this bundle was removed )probably will remove little more)
I've replaced the R/R with a modern series unit, and will use a small anti gravity battery, will also incorporate relays for the light and coils,and replace the singlr fuse with a modern fuse box
I went back to the upholster since i didnt like the way the seat came out.
this time i stayed with him and made sure he understands me, i like the results now.
The bike is done (it's never really done) after riding i want to change the handlebar to rentahl low bars.
here's a photo from a recent motoric event i went to.
Wow and I thought Aussie plates were a pain to mount. That thing is fricken huge.
I wonder if you can bend it up to be the rear fender to make it a little more inconspicuous.
Other than the serving tray number plate that the law forces you to use the bike looks great.
I quite like the two tone tank. Nice work mate.
Thanks guys,
The license plate is pita, however i will get a smaller one since "Historic" vehicles can use a bit smaller plate. this one is for regular motorcycles and it was my dad fault cause i sent him to get the plate for me :-\
The tank is bit empty i think, just not sure about what to put there, either a "Suzuki" decal or get some kind of personalized logo
Hoosier Daddy showed it to me before, but there was a guy that has a GS850 and he used a narrow aluminum plate instead of tank badges. The plates looked just large enough to cover the badge mounts, and were polished with nothing etched on them or anything.
great bike had a couple of those. Cheap to do the motor and plenty of spares around. Please don't take any offence, but in my opinion the tank is too big (or its just how you have done the photo) and would suite wire wheels. Also some flat bars or even clipons.
Actually seeing the pictures again, you have the gsx400e or t. I had the gsx400f that was the four cylinder models, different beasts altogether.
