GSX hoarding
I picked up the previously mentioned GSX a couple of weeks ago.
It's not too bad ... but not a lot different to all the others I've had. I pulled the engine out at the weekend and dragged it off back to the cave. The rest is making it's way onto eBay. There are one or two good bits, like Dyna coils with silicone leads, and brand new shocks, chain and air filters.
On the way back from collecting it i picked up my freshly blasted cases, which have also been bored for the big block. As it happens i also acquired a boring head for the mil so that's now another task i can undertake myself in future .... not as though I'll break these cases .... they look far too nice!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsUw3EtdScd8nDSJNqFoo558zL-HP00pRMCtKTJL_kLsVkp6K_UiVtF1IVr3Y2iEyPUxPvJzp0NHgo1CdlHd7EwlhyHvm6uqKvp7AHtQmJ1siaTi5MCaDlX3nkWel9XujvwLW2DtKKTVg/s320/P1010084.JPG)

gsxbopchop.blogspot birthday
Both my bike builds are fully documented on here and hopefully someone has found it useful. That would make it all worth it!
The summer Nationals meeting ended up being affected by strong winds and on raceday all the bikes only ran over the 1/8th mile, so i'm not that disappointed i missed it. Plus i didn't fancy our marquee blowing away - again! The downside i guess is losing the points lead, and having a chance to get the rollover prize money. That was won by the uber consistent Phil Leamon who beat Harold Wolfenden in the final.

Water cut GSX1100 base spacers/gaskets - any thickness approx £20 |
I also bought a GS750 bottom end very cheaply a few weeks ago. I thought it useful for the oil pump gears, and the straight cut crank and clutch gears which ill keep. the remainder is being sold on eBay.
Next up for wattercutting.....
