what did you wrench on today??

[crag antler]

Super-charged perhaps? :twistedevil:

I wish. She's just an '04 P-73 I have worked on over the past few years tricking out. Putting out close to 300 hp and did the 1/4 in 15.4.
Not bad for such a heavy car but she is getting faster all the time. To put in a S/C, I would have to build the motor,to do it right.

so that is what I have been wrenching on for the past year.:clap:

Ricks stator and the compufire came in today, the chain and sprockets are coming tomorrow.

 

[haggisbasher]

rebuilt my rear brake master cylinder and reinstalled the newly rebuilt front calipers, now to measure her up for some shiny new brake lines

Given the constant rain on the trip to and from work this week I've been paying close attention to the cagers behind me... and realised my front brake switch isn't turning the brake light on soon enough for my liking and that the shoulders of my rain suit are blocking a little too much of my mirrors... not a drama with just my jacket on, but the rain suit over the top is too much.

Adjusted the brake light switch as best I could, but the only down side with the M/C from Mikes XS is that adjusting it brings the lever further into the 'bars a touch... nothing drastic but just not the best method of adjustment.

Both mirrors now appear to be set a little wider so hopefully that'll take care of the shoulder issue...

Oh, and sprayed some chain lube on to counter the wet too...

I have been working my butt off trying to get the 1100 ready for motorcycle days at Mid-Ohio. I have eight days to go so it should be ready. I only have to reassemble the front wheel and brakes, oh and bleed them. That will take two day just bleeding the bastards! Oh FYI a 110/90 19 is a hair to big stick with the 100/90 19 just saying.

Just don't tighten the fender bolts until you get the clearance the same at every point.
Yes, there is a 110/90-19 on my '82 1200G.
Hoping that the brake bleeding goes easy for you.

Finally got enuff ambition to put the new steering head bearings in the 1150 today. Hope I don't have to change them again for another 30 years. Not my favorite job.

Does making and installing cabinets count as I did have to use a 1/2" wrench to remove the pedestal sink to fit the cabinet in place.

Thought you have a broken hand!!! Oh yeah, I wrench with a bollooned up hand too...your excused.

Are you making them for the garage to hold GS parts

Chuck, I was routing out for the shelves the day after I got home from the hospital. I figured it deserved one day's rest.

I wished! No, one was for towels and such for the downstairs bathroom. The other three are for the sewing room.

Fork seal started leaking yesterday, did the "thin piece of plastic" dirt removal swipe thing and it seems fine arter some pumping of the forks in the garage. We will see after a good ride.
Also tightened the stem/head slotted ring, I thought I felt a micro-"clunk" in my steering neck.....it took a little turn...should have drawn it together.

 

[erljhnsn2003]

Started my 530 chain/sprocket conversion on my '77 GS750. Appears to be all original parts. Yeah, I think it's due. All bearings are good so I'll order parts thru Z1 tomorrow.

Put these red wheelies on the 1150 so I could swap out the 3.5" rear stocker..

 

[7981GS]

What did you steal those rims off of?
They actually look pretty darn good on that bike IMHO.

It came as a package deal with a roller 1150 drag bike that someone yanked the engine out of. I have had them for awhile and wasn't sure what to do with them. I agree they actually look good on it.

Just getting the GS ready for Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio this weekend.rebuilt the brakes polished the engine covers painted the wheels... its not looking to bad. Stop on by the VJMC tent if your going. I'm also getting some "GS Resource" tee shirts made up so look for me.

Looks like a departure from those 'interesting' original bars ... what's going on there?

Off with the wheel...

On with new sprockets and chain. 630!? Huge mf... Think the rear sprocket is on the right way, guys? My buddy and I weren't sure.

Also replaced contact breakers and condensers. Tomorrow exhaust, and monday is the show-and-tell at the "dmv".
