    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

what did you wrench on today??


Bought a new motorcycle lift yesterday. I moved things around a bit and set it up.


Managed to change the oil in the 83 GS750 I acquired last fall. It's really nice to work at a decent height above the floor. My back has been giving me some problems from crouching down while working. It's a bit of a hazard from working in construction for so many years. Hopefully this will keep me wrenching on the bikes. Very good day. :)

Hey way to go Charlie on getting the lift! I want one too. Hey is it me or is your garage looking pretty neat and organized? :)
 
So it doesn't look like your 750 will be ready for the rally this year. Oh well, I think I'll be bring the 1000 this year anyway. Just did the dual disk conversion today and all went well. Missing a couple of parts but 98% done. Don't feel bad, it only took me about three years to do it.

Do you know these have a built in resistor, from the days of long ago when spark plugs interfered with radio signals.

You've heard of a good hair day? I had a good garage day. Whatever space I have, it will be filled in 6 months.

I doubt I'll have it done by early June, or even by the end of summer. Next year sounds like a achievable goal......:single_eye: Thanks for the comments

Nice.
I have been pondering such for sometime now. Biggest hold-back is that I need the space to park car in winter.

Hey, I think they still would interfere with radio....
..but, hum, havent thought of this in a while, maybe someone can say if, was that just AM that ignition noise would interfere with?.
(schesch, thinking of it not, maybe some people these days dont know what AM is.)

Suppressors are still very necessary.
 
Looking good Chucky G!
I just replaced the rear lights on my 1100G with short stem lights, you might consider that. The long stems seem to get whacked somewhat, usually by pulling a tired leg over. Short stems look more tidy.

Finally got around to throwing on my new rubber Tarozzi rearsets that replace my machined aluminum ones

I'm not sure which is better, the new rearsets or the place I have to work on them.

Those rear-sets look high class!
Me, I like my 1100G sporty and the pegs moved back a couple inches would be good, but raised would be cramped.
Your shed looks good, not much long term freezing there?
