    The Fear of Failure (First time restoration woes)

    Take many, many pictures of the way something is mounted, where wires go. Bag and tag all your bolts and fasteners to where they go. It's amazing how many things you'll forget during a complete tear down. Document everything. These bikes come apart and go back together fairly easily as long...

    Stator cover wiring

    Something I found out that I wasn't expecting when I replaced the stator on my 1000S, was the power of that magnet when you start to position the cover to bolt it back on..be prepared and have a good grip on it because it will suck the cover right out of your hands causing that very thin washer...

    2023 John McGinness Special Honda Fireblade

    Over 200hp at 14,000 rpm..wow..I'll bet that bike is a blast to ride. Wonder how many will actually be ridden..compared to being stashed away as investments.

    72 r5 part 2

    $200..wow..what a rippin' deal, even if you have to get into the engine. The rest of it looks good, all the parts are there, even the stock exhaust. Good on ya, Chuck. ;)

    Getting more interested in 2-up riding

    I wonder if by chance you might be referring to a Honda ST. They're dripping with plastic and are V4 engines. An early-mid 80's Goldwing Interstate's flat 4 engine is totally accessible. Maybe a couple of fairing lowers to remove for some models, but just a couple of screws hold those on...

    Getting more interested in 2-up riding

    An early 80's Honda Goldwing Interstate is a really nice older touring bike. Plenty of room for two, plus bags and small trunk. Seat height is comfortable and they're really affordable, easy maintenance, smooth, quiet, and plenty of power for two-up.

    Finally finished my '69 Airstream Caravel

    SO cool. ;) Looks like a giant shiny jellybean. You shouldn't have any problem finding a new owner for it.

    From 78c to 79s clone

    Piece at a time, piece at a time. Lookin' good, Chuck. Curious as to why you painted the seat trim red. Won't that look a bit odd bumping into the tail section and side covers..? Can't wait to see it with the fairing. Keep the pics coming. ;)

    Help with paint color

    You might remove one of the side covers, clean it up with some rubbing compound, polish it as well as you can and take it to an automotive paint store and they can match it with their spectrum gun and probably put it in a spray can for you.

    From 78c to 79s clone

    Thanks, man. I actually tried to call you a month or so ago when I was swapping the stator. The number I have didn't work. It was from back when I was painting your bikes..so you know how long ago that was..lol. PM me your phone number so we can stay in touch. Very anxious to see your red...

    Thanks for the quick reply and the pointers, Chuck. I appreciate it very much. Very similar to all the Hondas I've done in the past.

    rotor/flywheel puller for a GS1000..?

    Success! My certified technician friends found the missing washer in about 20 seconds of looking. I looked for literally 2 hours and didn't see it. It did indeed get sucked into the magnetized area of the rotor. Charlie and my other friend Lee drove almost 100 miles to come and help me...

    Hey, Storm. I want to thank you again for your kindness in sending your puller to a total stranger. If you've already sent it, I'll turn it around and send it right back, with a check for the shipping. I know you said you would send it for free, but as it turns it my mechanic friend found the...

    That's good to know, Ed. Thanks

    rotor/flywheel puller for a GS1000..?

    Thanks for the tips, Chuck. Unfortunately, I don't have a rattle gun. The bolt head on the end of the crank holding the rotor in place is a 17mm. As an aside, I took an aluminum hack saw blade, bent the end of it so it would rest squarely on the back of the rotor and carefully "felt" along...

    Thanks for reaching out, Willie. I was really proud of that paint job. Joe and I worked hand in hand to come up with the design. No, I didn't paint his blue one. From what I understand it was factory. Take care.
