Greetings and salutations....Great site!With absolutely NO bike rebuild experience I used all the info and rebuilt an 83 gs1100gl I picked up for a 'too good to turn down' deal, and when I redid the carbs none of the screws wanted to come out of the body...I used a dremel and squared off two sides of each screw and used a small wrench.worked like a dream.

Howdy Mr. bergemannta,
Was that one of the GLs from Rochester on craigslist ? Post a picture when you can. Some MN GSers want to get together down your way at the end of July. Look for the MN/IA/WI Rally post.
Seeing how our formal greeter is "preoccupied" at the moment.....May I offer a MEGA WELCOME on behalf of all the GSR members.82 1100 EZ (red)

Use the dremmel as a last option and try a impact driver first.Comment

Thanks...the longest I've ridden in a day so far is bout 80 miles...recently had back surgery so I try not to push it TOO far...the seat is VERY comfortable...I used dense cushion foam and covered that with camping bed-roll foam...can't see it very well in the pic, but there is actually a small lumbar support made by gluing layers of the camp foam and positioned to where I wanted it.....Comment
