keep having troubles with the fuel guage on my 78 1000C. This time i tracked it down to a loose solder joint at the back of the sending unit in the tank..resoldered and is working ( FOR NOW!!!)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
Trying to figure out if I want the bellypan / spoiler.

I like the bellypan. It balances the angular tank shape, and follows similar parallel lines. I'd keep it.Originally posted by Mindless View PostTrying to figure out if I want the bellypan / spoiler.
The bikes back end on the other hand looks too high to me. The seat will force the rider to slide forward into the tank. Looks very uncomfortable.Ed

I like belly pans but I think that that one is not 100% right for your bike. Maybe if it was set back a couple of inches? What happened to the FJ belly pan (it looked pretty good in your earlier mock up? What does that look like on the bike now?Originally posted by Mindless View PostTrying to figure out if I want the bellypan / spoiler.Comment

My old 550 is being treated to a new chain and a carb sync. New chain is way overdue.Comment

Well today on the 750E I installed my new R/R, and clutch brake levers. have the 4-2 header soaking now, going to install the 4-1 and Kerker, this week.
Hopefully the new signals, mirrors, nuts, and bolts get here next week. Then after that, the Dynojet Stg3, and intake O-rings, and I'll be on the road.Comment

For lack of Kerosene I'm soaking my GS1000 chain in the old "no longer clean enough for carb dipping" carb dip so's to get it nice enough to inspect... (I hope it don't do no harm) which is step one of slapping the GS1000E back together in it's original configuration because the 7-Ten build is going way to slow* and reassemblage is the quickest/cheapest route to a summer ride. Been too long without the ability to pick up and cruise with buds or GS riders. Still 3 months of prime riding left and should only take me a week or so slap this ugly thing back into a cohesive piece of moderately safely ridable hardware. - I'll be looking for So NH GS gatherings...
*I have made great progress in shop set up though... and one or two other bike projects... life decisions, family relations, financial and future goals, and such - you know the affairs which, although they get in the way, once settled help to make riding all the better.Comment

I kinda like the lines of it as well, but as some have mentioned, maybe less is more?Originally posted by Nessism View PostI like the bellypan. It balances the angular tank shape, and follows similar parallel lines. I'd keep it.

As for the seat and rear end - I guess it depends on who's riding it but I built the bike for myself and myself only. Feels like a dream to ride it. Only thing I'm going to do is shave off some cushioning on the seat to accomodate my fat ass better. I do think some shorter shocks would be good on the other hand, these are 365mm which is a bit long. I'd like a pair that's 345mm.
Actually, that is the FJ1100 bellypan.Originally posted by Colin Green View Post
