What are yours?
First off, mine are to ride as often as work and weather allow.
I think our winter will be pretty dry this year so I’ll be taking every opportunity.
Next up, I’ll be working toward putting the 1200 FI engine in my 83 GL.
The engine is on a stand so steps toward install will be to set it up with a connected cooling system and electric to run it on the stand to test it thoroughly for compression, oil pressure hot, etc.
I’m confident it is in good condition.
After that, I need to get a snap ring groove cut in the final output shaft since I’m not planning on changing the swing arm for a 1200. No doubt the shaft is hardened but it should be doable. Since I’ll have it running on the stand, I might attempt setting up a jig to cut it myself. Will see. There are lots of ways that could be done.
Once I have that sorted, I’ll be putting together parts for the hydro clutch line and master cylinder.
My brother may be moving closer to me from Arizona so I see possibilities for a fun year riding together with him and my son!
