You've done the same as mine, just have to look at getting the gauge faces redone, apparently they can be easily screen printed and made to look like new again. The tacho red line shading seem to always fade away to almost nothing.
and it took me ages to find the right switch handle to keep the original choke setup.Comment

Filters finally came in just waiting for this clearcoat to dry, can't wait to ride again it's been too long. Hope the exhaust works out. Just in time too I don't think my "it's too cold to work on the mowers/golfcarts/cars in the driveway" excuse is going to hold up much longer; scrambling to finish all those winter projects at work too. Waters not even back on yet and I'm slammed. Also realized I wired My Dummy Lights Backwards I Guess Green means oil and red means neutral now ><Comment

Made up some some door trim to be installed later. More importantly (depending on who is asked), I turned some scrap brass into green cash to fund the needed parts to fix the cycle. Hopefully ill order the parts early next week.sigpic

The wood worker (I guess) in me came out today. I had to mount a mirror onto a burrow my G/F loves (her great grandmother's). Then I sanded some base board heater thingies so we could paint the living room... To me it's white now ( which looks allot better) but I guess it's called colonial white??? I'm painting a room and it's all foreign to me.G/F is an interior designer so she tells me what looks good and I do what I'm told... Lol pics to come... tomorrow.Last edited by Jedz123; 04-05-2015, 09:29 AM.Jedz Moto

This weekend I reinstalled my cleaned up coils with new spark plug wires, reinstalled my carbs and airbox, put a new fuel line on, finished the bracket for my mini speedo & tach, and straightened up my modest garage space.

Yaayyyy, I finally get to post in this thread.
The new shop is not quite done yet, but paint has stopped flying, so I FINALLY have a bike in the shop.
It looks a bit lonely out there, sitting all by its lonesome...
... but I put some of the scrap lumber on a few saw horses, called it a "workbench" and started some work.
Have a Goldwing "thing" this coming weekend, hope to ride the GS there.

On Saturday, I bought a 2009 DL650 with 4600 miles. On Easter Sunday I stopped for gas while riding to NAPA to buy an oil filter and battery. Bike wouldn't start: almost dead battery. Ended up walking to an Auto Zone carrying the old battery. Bought a AGM battery, which they charged for about 75 minutes before I put it in. Bike started instantly.
Side note: I hadn't filled a bike battery since 2004. This one came with a 6 station funnel and a 6 station acid bottle. The funnel simultaneously enters all 6 cells. The acid bottle fits into all 6 funnel stations. The funnel punctures the acid bottle sections the same way as oil fillers used to penetrate oil cans. Neat set up.sigpic[Tom]

Went for a ride out with the bike club yesterday www.tynevalleyclassicmotorcycleclub.co.uk my volts were a bit down with heated grips and lights on, its still a bit cold here with a little snow on the hills !. So I thought I would swap my stator and rotor for a better unit, old red my GS750 has a 12pole and I have a spare 18 and rotor. The rotor was a devil to get off, all back on now and volts are better under full load at low revs

My bikes 79 GS1000 1085 checked and approved by stator the GSR mascot
