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.
I was looking for a winter project.........I found this!
- Thread starter 1978GS750E
- Start date
Still have a stator cover, clutch cover, engine breather cover and a sprocket cover to get cleaned up! Looks like this may take a while!
Glad I've already polished the carb parts!
Finally got the carbs all cleaned, adjusted and back together!
Nice! I always use SS allen bolts too....
Got the carbs and airbox installed so.............might as well fire it up!
Started, reved and idled well after a little fiddlin'. That Delkevic exhaust is LOUD! (But I like it!)
I've got to heat cure the engine paint before I get too carried away. Then it's on to checking for exhaust leaks, oil leaks, checking the charging system, etc, etc, etc.
Less than 90 days since I brought her home. Not bad for an old geezer! (Being retired helps!)
I've a feeling the Delko zorst might suit the 1100 engine better than it does the 850. I'm convinced the pipe size is too large for the smaller engine, but it does sound great, if loud. Lovely snarl from it at 5.5- 6K.
Come on warmer weather!
Personal taste but a bit of patina on the engine covers matches the patina of the rest of the bike.
You can't find 18" wheels that aren't spoke? Spoke wheels really are not worth it if you can buy an 18" aluminum rim. IMHO
Found a used proper sized rim on E-Bay off of an old Kawasaki Dirt bike. Now that the adventure bike people have figured out how to run spoked wheels with out a tube, I'll be changing them over to tubeless. Tubes are a couple of lbs. of unsprung weight, that if it matters to anyone is hard to do. When or if I ever get off my lazy arse and restart my rebuilds, I'll weigh them before I install them.
It's good to know something out of that box was useful.
That's impressive work here, man. 90 days? It takes me that long to find a tool sometimes, haha.
Finally found a rear rack for this one! Had to strip and paint it before I would install it. What a PITA it was to install. You need 4 hands to get everything lined up on these!
Lol....yes they are a pita....
