This is what your GS consists of

[Steptoe]

Todays job - dismantling an 1100 - basically the same as the GS once the tank & seat are off -

 

[Steptoe]

- all the electric loom removed -

 

[Steptoe]

they're not normally so clean - this one was immaculate before the crash - only 14K miles -

 

[Steptoe]

Looking straight on - not very big, is it .

You can move it around single handed

 

[Steptoe]

The gearbox and drive train pulled off -

This is what you remove when replacing a clutch

 

[Steptoe]

And this is the clutch unit on the engine - its the rusty plate you can see -

This goes rusty almost instantly its fitted, it doesn't mean its U/S .

 

[Steptoe]

- And this is whats left - the engine -

Easy and quick to take it all apart -

Not so easy and quick to re-assemble -

autopsy

Bit like seeing the post mortem of a loved one, have you determined cause of death?

 

[Steptoe]

This is a part thats left in one piece -

the forks were in several parts -

and you can see the front wishbone is "slightly" out of shape

 

[Mrs C]

Is it going to be a parts donor or are you rebuilding it, Neil?

Might need a bit of heat on that front wheel before you start in with the hammer

 

[rdover]

Am I the only one feeling a bit queasy reading this thread.

You are a sick man Steptoe, get help!

 

[Fanum]

Was it seriously that clean Neil or did you steam it off before getting your lillywhites in there???

Anyone who keeps places like the bit under the clutch there THAT clean has got to have serious problems surely!!!

 

[Steptoe]

This was genuinely this clean, i never cleaned it , doubt if the bike has seen rain in it's life -


Yes, tuned in, it's your gearbox - if you want it .

Do it dude, 1100R gearbox makes your bike faster

 

[Wreford Miles]

Now that's a proper clutch and alternator.

Origins?

Looking at the little green sticker on top of the wishbone, could be a French bike? If it's French, and from down here, road bikes don't get very dirty..
My ADV is dirty, but it goes dirty places, and hasn't been washed since It's post-Picos hosing to get the cowshite off it..

Steptoe,

You need to redo your drive way.

Garage doors need attention, too.
