My wife and I left mid morning from West Kelowna for a later breakfast in Armstrong. Went up via Kelowna on Hwy 97, to Vernon ......then Armstrong and came back via some back roads leading to Westside Road. Bike is running very well with strong acceleration and it moves with authority when asked to. It starts much better as well......a touch of the starter button brings it to life rather quickly. Work on the carbs and doing some electrical ground work while the bike was down this past week helped considerably.
Only a partial Italian tune up was administered today.......we will work on a second helping with a little more enthusiasm this coming week.

Claudio, the good part of working on your bike at home is the rewards, you have satisfaction now in doing what seemed like a daunting task a few weeks ago. I am guessing you did the job for under a 100 bucks at home and just think what the labour costs would have been at ABC Motorcycle dealership.
Good news and thanks for sharing.

I'm always doing something to something but recently got the ol' 78' preped for a long trip and some hard riding. Rebuilt the rear Marzocchi shocks, put Sonic 1.0 springs up front with cartridge emulators. Threw on a shorter chrome front fender and a set of spoked rims again with new Avon Roadriders. Installed the 82' aluminum swingarm and painted it up nice and shiny black. She's running great with the smoothbores but I've got to upgrade the front brakes.

Very good looking GS and they handled nicely for the vintage. The GS 750, and shortly after the GS1000, were one of the first big bore UJM's that focused not only on the motor, but also on the chassis. Resulted in a well rounded package. I had a 78 GS1000 in burgundy back around 78/79 with spoke wheels and single disc up front. Well done Rob.

I'm in holiday mode this week so had some extra time to do some catching up. Almost a year and a half ago I found an RZ350. Was and wasn't looking for one at the time, but they are getting to be far and few between so thought I would pull the trigger. Not a perfect sample but just like I like them.......in need of some love. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon, and finally decided I would give it a good degrease and much needed bath.
Lots of accumulated grease and grime from years of use finally came off. I'm embarrassed it took me so long to get this done.
This is the biggest picture I could post of it.....

I was just busting your b@lls since you posted directly under the Yammie... The black bike is a Suzuki, and a sexy one at that!

I collected more parts for the project GS, including a headlight! Keeping the shape of the latter to myself for now.

Dave's pulling my chain because he knows the front fender is from a Yamaha. Still trying to find a moment of free time to come have a look at that beast David.
