While waiting for parts to arrive, I've spent time with the carburators. Two out of the four barrels were actually in pretty decent shape. The other two were a bit dirty and one had a main jet that was completely clogged.
I swapped out the main and pilot jets on all the carbs to larger sizes to compensate for the pod filters and 4-1 exhaust I will be implementing on the bike.
Bike 4 - The Suzuki GS1100
My first liter bike. It had to happen eventually. After selling the XS750, I went six months without a motorcycle. I'd watch people ride by in the rain or sunshine and pine for my return to two wheels. While browsing Craigslist at work, I came across a 1982 Suzuki GS1100 that had been sitting in a garage for a few years. The previous owner was a 93 year old dude who refused to stop riding until the bitter end. He passed the bike on to his son in law, who never got around to riding it.
Bike 3 - The XS750
After a few years of owning and modifying motorcycles, I finally decided to take on a large project, complete with frame welding, and custom seat. I found a wonderful start with a 1979 XS750 that was in decent condition. Only some light modifications were needed to be out and comfortable on the road.
