Chuck,
These are great motorbikes and this genome have a very lot of racing history. To this end you are able to choose from a plethora of styles as you develop one that will make the bike your own.
These motorbikes clothed as everything from naked club racers with aftermarket pipes and number plates. To as stated before; in AMA Superbike attire (Wes Cooley on board) with quarter fairings and FIM World Endurance built (Graeme Crosby up) with full fairings and large fuel tanks. Lets you have all kinds of choices.
The really good news is the fact that there are aftermarket companies that sell on all kinds of things to make the motorbike just what you want it to be.
We are building a pair of GS1100's to race in the U.S. as Classic Superbikes and to also race in the UK and IOM in their vintage classes (we've already done the Manx Classic and Phillips Island so it's not a pipe dream) next year when we'll be welcomed again. I've found all kinds of bits so decking them out is not really a problem. Spend some time on line and check companies like Airtech, Tyga, HPS.
My advice: If the motorbike runs well don't start off messing with the engine. Do everything you can afford to, first make it handle with good shocks (nothing cheap here you really get what you pay for) and then you might want to go with Honda Superhawk forks. These forks Should have a new set of triple clamps made this will let you have a far stronger front end. You can also go with the whole Superhawk front. Either way it will let you use Olhins (or other) cartridges in those forks and you can also affix far better brakes (with very little filing Honda 929 calipers fit and are lighter and have larger pistons) with lighter wheels. Honda F3 forks also work but will cost you more. Work on getting the thing as light as you can. We use a lot of Titanium on the race bikes and we also go with carbon fiber wheels these are the things that make for much quicker turning and far faster acceleration. I'll admit these are costly things but it often makes far more sense than spending the same amounts of rupees on the engine. Remember the engine work is just as costly but it is something where, the more you do gets you closer and closer to critical mass and then you'll be starting all over again.
Anyway take a look at the Crosby and Cooley bikes on line and most of all have fun.
Cheers
Rich
