Thanks, just wish the exhaust looked as good as the motor lol

Have you tried SOS pads (specifically) on the pipes? Not Brillo, not 000 steel wool..nothing but SOS. They're soapy and soft enough to not scratch, but might remove the rust on there safely. I've even used SOS pads on glass.

I just found you thread and will be watching. Is this the 1100gk my tail piece came off of? That motor is sure clean now!

I bet hearing that engine fire was a pretty good feeling after all that work. Good going!

Well today i had the carbs sync and the guy was very surprised how close they were just from bench syncing them. I must say she sounds very good!! TOOK ALL THE GROUNDS OFF AND CLEANED AND ADDED SOME NEW CONNECTORS AND I BELIEVE MY CHARGING ISSUES HAVE BEEN FIXED, I finally, tonight got the tank and seat on and side covers for a couple pictures.I HAVE NOT PUT THE BAGS ,TRUNK, OR FAIRING ON YET BECAUSE IM STILL DOING SOME SCRUBBING AND CLEANING.

Yeah I told my wife that too and she just scowled at me lol. The gk is the only bike I have that she enjoys riding 2 up on. So I guess she will be fully dressed.

I can't get my wife on my bike. Small price to pay I'd say.

Riding with a naked wife on the back is probably not the best idea.

I have the opposite problem.
It is hard to keep her off!
She does, however, limit it to days that are over 40-45 degrees now after riding through snow storms and 50 mph gusts.
Go figure.
