wish i had seen your videos before you installed it easiest way to install it back inframe is lay the engine on it's side on the floor then lay the frame on it lining what will takes less than 5 minutes easy i have done it your way also pain in the backside as you know not trying to tell you that you was wrong just a easier way i swapped my 850 for a 1000 1st time worked my ass off had someone suggest the floor method amazed me how quick and effertless it was keep it up your reward is a dependable fast bike that i love the lines and how it looks period of course it's old school and i was only 18 when Suzuki led the world of superbike racing with these same basic bikes which means i'm old also now dont mean these are bad or outdated though i will continue to ride mine till i cant anymore and i have a 550 put away so if the 1100 gets to be to much my i can continue on a smaller one for at least a while anyway keep it up youve done great Peace
Thank you for the encouragement. I had considered the laying the engine on its side method but was not sure how i was going to do that twithought building some sort of bracket so as to reduce the pressure on one point. So i opted to risk my back lol. Shortly after me and my buddy got this bike running before i started to take it apart I was very impressed with it riding characteristics with so much of the weight being low loved the way it felt to lean it. These bike are truly great thank you again.
@@Animation445 I just had to tell you what i found and purchased yesterday i'm still giddy less than a mile from home on my gs i stopped at a rummage sale while i'm looking the older gentlemen came over and asked me how long i had my bike for i told him and he said want a couple more just like it and i am like they would have to be cheap he like look at them an tell me 1 is a 78 gs1000e and the other is a 79 gs1000g fully loaded with everything so i follow him around to the backyard and he is saying the last time either had ran was 1988 or 89 and had been in his shed as he is opening the door now it isn't pretty dirt floor holes in the walls bikes are dirtiest i've ever seen tires flat worst imaginel dude the 78 has 3100 actual miles the full dress 79 has 8000 miles had to rub the dirt off the lenses to even see anything bought them both $350 bucks yes there rough but there not anyway the crazy thing that can happen just going out for a ride Peace
Love your steady methodical work ethic. Your attention to detail is awesome! I have a 1980 GS 1000G that is in really nice shape but has a base gasket oil leak. I’m thinking about pulling the top end to replace all seals. You videos are very helpful dude! Did you ever put up the final video of your sweet ZOOK running?.
Molto piacevole seguirti mentre lavori al rimontaggio del motore GS. Sicuramente il migliore motore motociclistico mai costruito.
grazie
Dude, I have an CB900C and only the engine weights 100 kgs, seeing you lifting that monster makes my back hurts, but you did great !!
Thanks i think thats about the limit of how much i can lift or will ever attempt to lift again lol.

Sand paper, clean, Polish. It's aluminum so you can make it shine.
