Update...I believe she's a goner. :crying: I started yesterday afternoon. I spun the engine over w/o the plugs to try to blow out the excess oil from the cylinders. I checked to ensure the ignition system was working & connected the gas tank. I found that the tubes inside the tank must be...

Well I'm pleased to say that after soaking in ATF for 4 days, I have gotten the engine freed up & can spin it over by hand. I'm hoping that I can try to start it tomorrow when I get home from work. :mrgreen:

I got a PM from you but there wasn't a message. I PM'd you back. Thank you

I've never been to PA but I work with a guy who is from Huntington PA. He travels up there a few times a year to see his family. What did you have in mind?

Thank you for the information. Sounds like the carbs is all I can reuse. I'm going to keep them b/c I could use them on the 1000. I've already sold the fairing. I'll get some pictures & post up on the For Sale to see if anyone wants any items. The faux gas tank, fenders & plastic side...

I have a 79 GL1000. It runs great & I can as often as I can. There's no way I'd get rid of it. Its a keeper. I was given an 82 GL1100. It was taken apart. I was told it was running when taken apart. The guy I got it from had disassembled the carburetors & made a mess out of it. He broke...

See you Wed. I'm a Falcons fan from way back. I still don't like the 9ers from all the beatings they handed Atl in the past. I was hoping GB would have pulled it out. Aaron Rodgers has put on a clinic the past 2 weeks.

I sent you an email. Thank you

I appreciate the replies. That answers my question. I'm not going to Ebay it then. I'll hang it on the wall as a display piece & then trash it when I get tired of looking at it. :mrgreen:

That's what I'm asking. Is it not worth the price of shipping?

Is this fairing worth anything? I'd like to get rid of it. I've got it listed on 2 sites & craigslist & have gotten zero interest. I thought about ebaying it but the shipping is going to be the number. I'm estimating approx $100 shipping. If its not worth the cost of shipping, then I'd be...

I would seriously love to do that ride. Probably more than any other destination. Problem is I have to work & only get 1 week a year vacation. :crying: There's no way I could do a ride like this but would love to have to ability to do so. I hope you get to go & please post up some...

No I don't have the lowers. Sorry

I do too. Its not that heavy but its bulky. Shipping is possible, I don't know how costly it would be though. I could remove the windscreen to make it a little smaller.

If you want any specific pictures, please say so. I can post up more detailed or pictures of any specific points if need be. Thank you again
