Copper head gasket
polished and ported head
Mega Cycle Cams with adjustable cam gears
36mm GSXR carbs-36mm Flat Slides are on hold until break in is accomplished.

Bottom end and case checked out so all new bearings and seals have been installed.We buttoned up the bottom end this evening.I did swap out a bad output shaft for a used one in good condition.

My favorite GS by far so far, except mine of course because I can ride mine.
Attack but have a back up plan

How did you mount up your gauges?

Originally I used fabbed up Z bend brackets like jay wolf.When I upgraded to dual single stainless steel lines,I had to raise the gauges up.Dgyver fabbed up some brackets that are 1 inch tall.The brackets mount to the top of the triple clamp,bolts come up from underneath.The gauges bolt in from the top.he used plate aluminum.If you mount your gauges like jay wolf, use steel.My aluminum ones bent just from moving the bike around.

I was probably a little shaky when I took it.My fone distorts pics too.I measured everything and took a look at it last night.Every thing is spot on.  :dunno_white:
