    86 Suzuki GV 1400 cavalcade for sale

    After a couple short trips I've decided to let this ship go. Too big and heavy for me. Made a few trips locally and decided that's enough. So it's an 86 Cavalcade GV1400gt. Ad is in Portland Oregon craigslist. Look at it there and let me know if interested.

    what did you wrench on today??

    The heat pump/ac on my house. This winter forgot to run it at all to keep it loose and the electric motor seized. %*&#! Couldn't get the fan to spin at all so out came the motor.

    Trying to change look on 1982 Suzuki Gs450ga

    I've been through so many bikes in the last year it's nuts. Out of the last ten I've had 3 no titles. I knew I wasn't going to rehab them and just part em so wasn't concerned. The ones I did rehab were all titled. Most of the no title bikes that are around are lost and the bike gets shuffled...

    Big touring bike

    I reread the post and realized I forgot to say why the forks were changed. The guy and his wife were on it entering into his gravel driveway and he went a little wide and slid the front wheel into the concrete base of his mailbox. That twisted the forks and broke the fender brace. That factory...

    Harbor freight brake bleeder

    Years ago I swapped the the fork legs side to side on my 74 GT 750 to reduce swinging inertia forward of the triple yoke centerline.Putting the calipers closer to the triples centerline makes swinging the bars back and forth easier. But I couldn't get the air out of the calipers. After a while I...

    Harbor freight brake bleeder

    Anyone use this unit? I'm trying it on a Cavalcade front caliper set and just cant seem to get all the air out. Run a bunch of fluid through it and lever better but not what it should be.

    towing a trailer

    The one I was looking at was an Alpine pop up made for a car. Looked small enough till I looked up shipping weight. The motorcycle only one don't come around too often for cheap so I may be on hold for a bit.

    towing a trailer

    Yep, manufactures weight is 730 plus my gear and a battery.I'm not getting a new one cause they are too much money and I have a 38 ft MH for that kind of duty. But that would put the gross weight at ~ 1600.eek Really want a small one that is less than 300# but they want a fortune for them.

    towing a trailer

    I'm looking at a tent trailer to tow cross country and back that weighs 800 and will tow with my 86 Cavalcade. Too heavy? IDK. Never done it. Any rule of thumb for touring bikes towing?
