changed plugs, put in a k&n air filter, and replaced the old turn signals with new ones. Now I have to get an electronic flasher. Fun! Bike started up and I couldn't help but take it around the block!

Thanks Bill.

Yep...it was fun, fun, fun. After watching you mess with them, it was about time I got my hands dirty.

This is what I wrenched on today...a gunbroker purchase that needs a little lovin'


Stripped her down so I can bead blast the frame.

While Charmayne worked on painting her brakes today I started in on the Jeep finally. By the time I was done about 730pm I had it down to this:





Taking the air conditioning lines off of its radiator about made me p!$s myself due to the pressurization but all is good (yes I had the system discharged first).

I started disassembly on some nitrogen piggyback shocks I am going to rebuild. Just one tricky part so far....I walked away when I grabbed the bigger hammer, then thought twice.
Will get back to those this week.

Installed Progressive Suspension springs in my forks today. Everything went smooth with the exception of dropping a fork cap and nicking my front fender.... That kinda sucked.

Changed the sprockets and chain on the 77 750 and did some soldering on one of the connections in the ignition switch that was causing and intermitent loss of all electrical power. The began the tear down of my 78 1000C as per the situation that developed.....see mythread in the Projects section....

Installed the new tailgate on the truck and got the bike back on the road. I'll post pictures of the painted tank after we finish with the clearcoat (another set of spray to do next weekend)

[StubbornDutchman]

Shot the clearcoat on my bodywork. Getting pretty excited to get this thing on the road.

Over the last day I installed ss brake lines and did the PVC fork spacer mod.
Really nice difference in the front end.

I got the '90 GSXR750F Katana exhaust fitted to the '82 GS1105G project and ready for welding tomorrow.


Even the exhaust cross-over pipe fits and clears the oil pan.

I'm very interested in how this works out. Fitting a stock exhaust from a newer Suzuki to a GS might turn out to be the best solution for owners who want to keep their GS as close to stock as possible.

Changed the clutch out of my 1100L, and polished on a breastplate.

Dragged the GS trailer out of the weeds round the back, broke off the rotten wooden body and pressure-washed the frame, preparatory to moving the axle line back 2" and re-building it over the next week or two.
It was a worthwhile addition to my fleet when I only had bikes on the road and now I'm there again, it makes sense to use it once more.
It's a 4ft x 2ft trailer that pulls along behind the '80 GS850 quite nicely, using a standard 50mm ball hitch and tow-bar that I made up 20 years ago.
