So my roofed XS750 is up and running but it's ugly (also susceptable to cross wind) Here's what I may do (on NC700X) NC700 got fake gas tank, forward leaning engine, and very low seat rail.

Went solo-camping on my roofed XS750. Just myself, my son stayed home (he had school.) The last time I did solo-camping was 1992 on XT600 in Baja California. Okay, I am ready. Let's do a get-together this fall.

I am thinking about replacing the head light. This one on eBay is cheap and looks nice...

I want to add/change hydraulic fluid in the Maxon wheelchair lift on my Ford E-150 van. The maintenance manual recommends "Mobil Univis HVI 26" Googled it and found that it comes in 5 gal pail for more than $300 shipped. Is there any suitable replacement in 1 Gal container? The manual...

It's done! Went out for roof strength test this morning. Did 65MPH w/o issues. Leg shield as in Honda C70 Supercub LOL Cockpit Roof removed and stowed. Roof removed (older pics.)

This time, it's my roofed wing ('82 GL1100A with single carb) Around 2 miles from home, engine lost torque and died all of a sudden. Tried to start it again at road side. Starts but dies immediately. Tried several times with the same result. Fuel pressure gauge showed normal (~3 PSI) Called...

I am a member of "neighborhood app". I have seen lots of catalytic converter thefts around the neighborhood. The last one (not my car) occurred almost in front of my house at 2 a.m. I was sound asleep and didn't notice anything. According to the posts, thieves jack up the car and stole...

As some of you know I had an ignition problem for '68 CL125A twin. It finally went away with a new ignition coil. I start a new thread here so more people will look at it and help me understand. The symptoms were: Difficult to start Difficult to maintain idle Misfire under load (rev's okay in...

Rode my roofed-wing today. It's been a month and a half. While cranking the engine, starter clutch failed to engage several times. SO... what should I do? Will it cure itself if I keep riding? Or do I need to get to it? Please don't tell me I need to drop the engine out of the frame...

Hello every one, It's been a while but I am still alive. This is about my 68 Honda CL125A twin. The other day while I was riding it did a few backfires/afterfires then died. Pushed it home and found the battery dead. Installed a new battery but no spark. Cleaned points but no spark. Installed...

with this corona lockdown. No date set for phase 2 here in Los Angeles county. So I added some junk electronics to my RoofedWing. GPS with defunct Windows CE tablet OS (LOL). Onboard bluetooth failed to connect to any of my headsets. Hooked up bluetooth transmitter to earphone jack and...

Finished the remaining items. Eaves retracted: Eaves extended: I know it's ugly (LOL) but hopefully should do the job. Overhead air vent: Voltmeter, USB ports, 12V port: Clock, thermometer, barometer: 2 speed wiper motor and switch: Back rest: Will go camping this winter break.

Okay, my RoofedWing is almost done so I went out for a test. Everything seems to be okay. I haven't ridden my OldWing (even w/o a roof) for a while so it was a bit scary in the beginning. Now I must remember to bend down a bit to mount just like getting into a car. Otherwise the helmet...

As you know that my aftermarket ignition appears to be broken, I went back to stock. I also have a single carb (DTF32) So my question is what to do with stock vaccuum advance. When I did SCC I did aftermarket ignition at the same time so I didn't have to worry about it. Right now vaccuum tube...

Okay, stock ignition is in and the engine runs fine. The stock fairing is removed so this is a perfect opportunity to create a new full fairing with a roof. LOL This is my inspiration: 70's British Vintage "Quasar"! It got totally purpose built frame so mine won't look that good but hay...

Okay, so here's a thread for my aftermarket ignition problem. I guess it's better than hijacking totally unrelated thread. Here's the chronology. 1. My Oldwing was left in a garage for a few months. 2. I turned the ignition ON, Fuel pump worked. Neutral light ON. 3. Pushed the starter button...

Hello all, It has been a while. My '82 GL1100A developed low RPM hesitation. I haven't ridden her for a month and a half (unfortunately it happens a lot to my vintage bikes.) I put fresh gas at the station and went on to an hour freeway ride. Engine runs okay on higher RPM but now hesitates...

My saga with very high mileage (293K) Ford E-150 van continues. I had the used engine (100K) installed and that was that. I know tranny was leaking fluid and had to top off every 200 miles or so. Finally I took it to a local tranny shop. They found that oil cooler lines were leaking. When they...

Some of you remember my 2011 Ford E150 van (288K miles on it.) I posted engine misfire thread about it. Well my son and I went camping/dirt bike riding again this past three day weekend and on the way home, the engine died. I heard knocking sound when I left the desert hoping it would last but...

My WackyWing camping modification is complete. So I am thinking about a touring route. This is going to be two-up with my son so it has to be either during Spring break (the last week of March, 2018) or early Summer recess (the second week of June, 2018 to avoid general Summer vacation season.)...
