    Very nice build. The coolest thing about your build is this....both of your paint schemes are exactly what I was thinking about. Now I know that the blue I was thinking of looks bitchen on these bikes, I think I'll be doing that. I was even planning on powdercoating the frame silver or possibly gun-metal grey.

    BTW, what was the set-up for the 107HP dyno run posted on youtube on 07-19-09??

      update.............

      Ive done about 10k kms since this writeup - including a 3k km 3 day weekend and a track day - the bike isnt so pretty anymore - road grime, stone chips etc
      but still goes just the same

          sounds gr8

          I was really chuffed by the dyno operator's remarks about it being impressive - he must see a lot of more impressive machines than a 29 year old Yammie i reckon.

            Hi Bryan,
            that's a labour of love and a great double rebuild.
            Now I've lent my bike out a time or two but as a dad, family takes precedence over prudence and my son is a far better rider than I am anyway.
            And I love the colour. Astro towtruck orange by the look of it, same a I painted my sidecar rig.

                Latest incarnation

                I was going to put this on the Vintage racebike thread where the first pic is, but thought this was a more appropriate spot for the update.

                This is Bryans latest version of his 80G







                The really interesting bit is here, the latest dyno readout ,

                the green curve is from 2012 when last on this particular dyno -





                "The red and blue are today's before and after re-jetting/fiddling - (red before/blue after)
                The main gain is in the mid range - 10hp/10ft/lbs torque (approx) at 5500rpm - right where we want to use it....brilliant result, I reckon
                the air/fuel ratio is the other graph - apparently mine is a bit rich cruising but to fiddle with that will mean losses at other revs (optimal is apparently between 12.8 and 13.2 to one)

                BTW I'm doing 105km/h at 3500rpm"

                The full story of the build is here, but the majority of the photos in the early stages have gone to the Photobucket graveyard - http://xs1100.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=2804.0
                Very impressive indeed
                79 SF Special W/ Stock all original motor @ 384,000klms
                Stock exhaust, stock airbox, XJ sump, 78E carbs, Xs1100RH seat, Bosch superhorns, 5/8ths front M/c, braided lines, sintered SBS pads, drilled discs, progressive springs, 8" 50w HID headlight 4300K, 2 x 50w HID spiral driving lights, KONI shocks, Spade fuse box
                *Touring mode - Plexistar 2 screen, Gearsack rack & bag & saddlebags, homebuilt towbar
                *"The Keg"- UC torana hubs, XS11 discs, Tokico 4 spot calipers
