Hey all I just bought a 89 GS500 track bike

Motor:
-2mm overbore
-hi-comp pistons
-custom Rich Omdahl head: extensive porting, combustion chamber work, Alum/silicon/bronze valve seats, shim under bucket conversion
-1mm oversize intake valves
-oversize cylinder head studs to allow for higher head bolt torque(less head gasket leaks)
-full race cams
-oversize Keihin CR special carbs w/ K&N pod filters
-counterbalancer still installed
-Yosh short baffle exhaust
-Dyna 2-stage rev limiter (hi-limit plus launch limit controlled with clutch lever)

Suspension:
-Fox rear shock w/ remote reservoir
-02 GSXR600 Front fork, revalved and re-sprung for 200# by Matt Prentice this year
-Double disc brakes up front w/ TL1000 master cylinder

Bodywork:
-Ducati 999 Upper and Lower
-GSXR front fender
-Carbon fiber TZ250 tail section w/ custom aluminum sub-frame
-Woodcraft rearsets

I think this will be a fun bike to track

Welcome! And....

Even though I'm new at MNSBR, I thought your username looked familiar.  Welcome to GStwin   There's a few guys with race bikes around here that seem to know a lot; The first few that come to mind are werase, dgyver, D-day, and JamesG(currently in Iraq) and I know I missed a few others.  Sounds like the bike you picked up has a pretty good setup too, hopefully they guys here can fill you in on everything else you need to know.  I may know one or two things too

Do you know anything about the Dyna 2-stage rev limiter? I'm building a race/street bike with 79mm pistons (555cc), high lift cams, upgraded valve springs and a bunch of other goodies. From what I know the closest thing the GS has to a rev limiter is crappy valve springs, so when I upgrade them I could get myself into some hot water. If you have any info on the rev limiter used on your bike it would be greatly appreciated.

Awww....you're so sweet! 

It sounds like an awesome bike! I'd really love to see pics! It might give me some ideas and motivation for fixing up my ratbike!

I know very little about the bike honestly but as soon as it warms up I can get you the model number.
