Yikes! I upbraided (get it?) to stainless steel lines on my 11E about a decade ago and I recall it was less than $200. Of course I paid with Amerikon greenbacks, but still...YIKES! :worked_till_5am:

Raymond Chan at Apex in Toronto is where I've gotten several bike's ss lines....around $165 a bike for all the lines. Good deal and quality.
Well, wasn't planning on wrenching quite yet, but I ordered a cushion for my side stand with some other parts to fix some oil leaks (fork seals, tach gear, cam chain tensioner) and thought I would just throw this on the bike...
That's not gonna fit!! Never noticed the "tang" on the side stand had been broken off and a bolt was welded in it's place until now.

Synchronizing carbs on my 1990 oil cooler,
Look in the manual for your former 1991 GSX1100G.
I'll be installing new Legend rear shocks on the Sportster this coming week, along with a set of hard bags.
New to me 1982 GS1100G. Got it started with a fresh battery and barely ran on choke. Time to clean the carbs...
3 out of the 4 slides are stuck, but overall not very bad in the bowls.
That's a great looking ride!
Congrats on the new ride, dgates.
Nice to see a good condition stock exhaust.

Heat works well to break down the varnish sticking the slides
I am in the process of replacing the seat cover. Second time in 12 years. The Pit Replica covers seem to crack after that long. And I really don't enjoy messing with all the prongs.
Decided to put the case guards back on, after learning the hard way.
I had a low side crash and damaged the left side case in 2023.
Tried soldering a patch but it leaked, then I added another sealer to the inside and that worked, but the case was ugly.
So lucky to find a clean case on ebay this summer.

I wish I had a seat like that, really tight.
Finally got the paint complete on the 1100E. I painted the tank and front fender about a year ago and just now got it back together after painting the rear cowl and side covers.
That rear rack is a PITA to install. You need 4 hands, tiny little fingers and a blessing from the pope to get it all lined up! Anyone that has installed one knows!
