Have a few tears a few beers and a bit of a relax mate, remember the good times and look after yourself for a while. My thoughts are with you.
Replacement Barrels? 1100 to 1150?

Hi Jim,
I just read about your Mum passing away and wanted to offer my condolences.
I hope that you are making it through this bad time.
God bless

Thankyou once again. I am so impressed, that...
I have been back at work a couple of Days. I phoned my Bike Mate (the old R80 owner) Parts ordered this week for GS1100 rebuild 
!
We are planning a trip up the centre of Australia to have a Beer or 12 in Darwin. 1st. Then?
I have lost my Dad and now Mum both to Cancer. I'm Healthy. So the call of the GSers and Travel ? I am going to Semi- Retire? Look out you lot! I'm out there!! If you see a GS1100 ( White of course. like the origanal) With a Bloke on it that makes it look like as small as a Honda Z50 ?? True! Say Ged-day. To all! Thanks again.

Back to GS11 rebuild.
I found the right oil ring in 3 parts! Barrel in good order. Replacing single layer head gasket with 3 layer Gasket. So/ new Head Gaskets, new Rings & new Valve Guides. Might as well while pulled down! Yes, checking out Techlusion Fuel Module and yes possibley an Australian Staintune Rear Muffler. (Thankyou for the Australian input David Hunn) Removing the box and dropping the Muffler Down to fit 2 Large panniers. Well? This I will build myself? I have had an idea in my head for a few years? To get rid of the Trailer? Build a "U" shape / one piece Pannier around the back wheel. Strong enough to take the wieght of the Bike on Track Falls? With its own lights and side opening so I have a flat tray ontop and Fuel Cell behind the Rider Seat. This will help in Global Travel? ( I'm single/ no pillion). After the rebuild a Shake down for a Beer at Darwin? Then work a passage over to anywhere? Well? Africa? Then Ride the rest! Lap Top on board for all of you! I dont Know if the UK is ready for the Tasmanian version 'Platupuss DunDee'? We will see? Crikes you really don't Drink Warm Beer DO Yu? Next year I will see!

Good to know you are "back on board" Have a good long ride and a beer for every 10 Ks mate.
Take your time with the rebuild mate. I fitted a Techlusion on my Adv `cos of lean running and am well pleased with the result. Let us know if there`s owt you wanna know.
All the best.........BB..........

check out This Great tread On ADVrider about a dual spark from a 11Gs to a dual spark engine...
I'm somehow doing a similar project, more for the hell of it than anything else, installing R11S heads on a R11GS but so far is being a little problematic, since I tend no to read the manual much and is a lot of little details to consider..
I will say more than anything you need to Tune the bike and maybe keep the trottle wide open a little longer, since the diference is not that noticiable, In fact my Old '95 GS's with the big valves are more "crumpy" than many 1150 even with the lowered final drive..

WELL !! It lives fired up...
that old 1100 today waiting on Techclussion got a faulty one in?
Bugger! Valves to tight ( misses down low) Hope I got those Bloody Cam sprockets timed right? I had to do the valves so one would think so? yeah I static checked as well. Even checked TDC with the trusty German Tool N:5006724 / Screwdriver? I will see tomorrow when she's cold? What did I do? Re ring, valve rubbers and a good internal clean? Lapped valves Remus exhaust and soon Techclussion? Its tight but its had a run a couple of Ks thats all. I'll retention and check those valves tomorrow?
Now I want to know How to have a Real Beer with ALL you Barstards? ( Thats affection in Aus) Mum sent me for six,
But we're back. Tasy's BIGJim
