Time to Pretty up the old 82 1100L

[Chris Hagen]

I will. The pad is being made for the luggage rack/Backrest, and once I get that I can get the Saddlebags on. And assuming that all that gets done and I get the jet kit changed to a stage one being the stage 3 is running rather poorly. I will be getting a Windsheild in Sturgis this weekend.

[Chris Hagen]

Can't really tell in the pics but I have the side covers on the engine polished up as well. Dremel tools are a wonderful toy .

[ScottMc1100L]

Can tell just fine, they look great! You should ad your first (before) pic into your gallery. The bike looks terrific. The seat, I see what you mean about plain but, to me looks fine. Pro-job!

What bit do you use in the Dremel?

[supergus]

nice

WOW!
where did you get the pegs from? and that seat look great!

very nice job. you should be a pround pappa there!!!:-D

It is amazing how much lighter the bike feels with the 4 to 1 in there instead of the old 4 to 2.

Thought I would throw up a link to the bike the way it looks today.
(Got the Megaphone system today, not just need the rest ).

My L has individual pods and the stock four into 2 setup.I was going to change to a 4 into one like yours.I suppose you cant tell the difference much yet since your are still in dynojet changes.Mine has the stage one in it.It was odone when i bought the bike.I have no idea what the bike ran like before i bought it, but it is incredibly strong almost sportbike like on acceleration now.

I have some new pictures up on the site. Just a bunch of night time pics. I will get a bunch more during the Sturgis Rally this weekend.

As far as the rear shocks, they are progressive shocks. The shocks cost me $150 and the Springs ran me $75.
I also have new progessive springs in the Frond end.

These are the shocks.

i have a set made on my bike that replaces the crash bars i can make for you.gives you 13 1/2 more inches of leg room.

what would the cost be? (I have a 1980 850L model)

I found these online for pegs, but I figure that I would need the case saver to make these work. right?

[Chris Hagen]

Those were exactly the highway pegs I have. I just mounted them to the Crash gaurds that were on the bike when I got them. I beleive they are the stock crash guards that you can get from Suzuki (If they still make them).

Well, Got the carbs jetted good enough to ride, still to rich on the top end, need to do more work to the intake, however it is useable for sturgis . It is in the trailer and we are almost packed, wish me luck. Going to be late arrival though as it is 3;00PM here and it is a good 8 hour drive to Hot springs, SD from here.

I am thinking right now in the unfinished metal version, about $79.You could oaint them,powder coat them,or whatever.i would be making aobut 10 dollars a set.no tax,you pay shipping.
