Hey guys, picked up this 88 gsx1100f about two months ago for $400.00, very decent body, only 20,00kms.. It was a little taken apart when I got it, and looked promising.
So heres the guys story, He purchased it and had it insured a few years ago, one day the alternator dies, so he purchased a used alternator off ebay and installed it, fired it up and broke the alternator drive gear on the back of the clutch... the alternator must have not been off an 1100 obviously.. so the clutch and all that was taken apart when I got it, all the fairings taken off, gas tank & carbs, got a bucket of parts and ya.. So I ordered the alternator drive gear from maine, ny, and got a guy on gixxer.com from cali to send me the proper alternator gear(a bit smaller) got it for $50 shipped.. not bad... I have the gears installed as well as the clutch and alternator and starter.. Just found the crankcase cover bolts thread which saved me!!! and ya... But i'm going to take pictures of all what parts i have left and hopefully you can help me out, maybe tell me which screws are for what fairing and a few hoses and how to mount the gastank... i'm getting close to being done but want all the proper bolts/screws in their locations.. and i dont know how to install the fairings properly and gastank.. haha anyways some feedback would be excellent, I will be searching the forums every day, I was on www.gixxer.com for like a month untill I found this site... woohoo.. Glad to be here, name is Nathan.
