  • After getting so far on the cafe racer build I've found out that the engine timing was out. This is just a quick episode and update on what I'm doing on the project.

    I'm glad that you have posted these videos because I have the exact same bike and can't find any other videos for my bike you've been a huge help. Do you have an instagram?

    dreegez Ive been watching your build from the first video, your doing a great job, well done. I'm currently rebuilding a Gs550E 80' myself. I just split the cases last week to retrofit a 78' kickstarter. do you know where i can purchase a engine oil seal kit? and if you can send me a link? Cheers

      +Alex Makris Thanks for the kind words. I'd always check with any local motorbike shops as I've found they're cheaper for seal kits than ebay or the internet. Are you in the UK?

      +dreegez ok Cool thanks, I found a seal kit for a GS750 which worked out in the end. Yes im in London.

    do you know if it's and interference or non-interference motor?

      To be honest I'm not 100% sure, I think it is, but I haven't taken the head off this yet, and I've always assumed the worst case that it is an interference engine when I was moving the cams.
