Runningdog, great improvements for the 850G. I still need to instal the bars on mine.
I used 15W in the forks.

Got it toasty inside. First time the darn heater didn't want to work in years!!!
Took several tries to get it going, and I used it YESTERDAY! Got the floor painted, sorta.
My sprayer refused to function in the cold. No adjustment changes would make it spray more than a trickle.
It would have taken forever!
So, I rolled the darn thing. First coat anyway...



After heating the spray gun in the path of the heater, it started to work so I painted some of the back,
side and front with some oil-based/tinted primer...



Didn't get to making the door...
High of 25 today!

7981, man's gotta have a cave.....looking like good progress, I think I never had so much satisfaction as working on my shack, even though it took all summer....wiring, siding, insulating, painting, pavers around the outside, organizing/building bench and shelves.

Get as much power to your shed as you can (I put a 20amp and a 15amp circuit into mine, and it's almost not enough).....

I built work tables for my shop today from some treated 2 x 6 and 4 x 4 lumber that I had from a deck that I removed from the house a couple of years ago. My son-in-law calls them Armageddon tables. When Armageddon comes, he wants to be under one of them for protection.
I built 2 each 30" x 9 ft and 1 each 4' x 4'. All of them 36" high with 4x4 posts for legs. I can pretty much put anything I want on them and work on it.

Work on the humidifier today. Dang water valve was stuck. Working good now.

I finished a second coat of paint on the floor, started to build the attic supports and got a couple of babies into their new safe home...





For a pleasant change, that is NOT SNOW on the floor.
Plenty to be had... OUTSIDE!

Today I decided to clean out the shop, and make some room so I could work on some winter projects that I have plans of doing. Well as I got started I pulled a 80GS750E that I had gone through 5 yrs ago from the back wall and started assessing what needed to be done to finish this project. I had already done all the electric upgrades, carbs ,boots , and o-rings, adjusted the valves. New K&N filter ect. So as it looks I need to find a tank and a set of side covers, blow the dust off Oh and a seat cover. I never fueled the bike after all the work . I had purchased a tank, and seat but ended up stealing them for my 1100e project, now I need to find some more.

Got the old valve stem seals out finally:



And did some polishing. Not up to the standard I've seen numerous times on here, but certainly good enough for what I want:



And I'm liking the Suzuki emblems minus the black too, just for something a little different.

Nice looking shop. They are never large enough, though. Mine's filled to capacity. I carpeted my shop, and it's a bunch nicer laying and sitting. I work year-round between 60-75 degrees.[heat and A/C]

So you're the one!!!

I started this thread in march 2010 just because i was bored and wondering what other people were doing to break the cabin fever..I cant believe it has been going so long!!! Wonder now what has been the longest running thread here on the forum so far???

Hey Chuck, gettin' enough answers to your simple question?

I haven't had much time since starting my new job, but the plan today is: Mow the front lawn, colortune and sync the carbs on the GS, maybe move the CB750 around and play with it some more.

[81GS750]

Oh, I better make some time for the wife too!!!

Dude...you need to move north...no need to mow up here...

The Suzuki Barn is basically a storage facility.
My garage is about 80 feet away from it.
The idea is to make enough room to get back into the garage.
My next project is to pour a concrete pad extension next to the driveway and
build a shed to wheel the 5-7 V-8 engines on stands into that are also occupying the garage space.
Then, I will regain the space to actually work on bikes in a climate controlled/ not cramped space again.
I also had a carpeted garage in the past, great for crawling around looking for those dropped parts!
