what icing issue? only issue i have heard in the past is that you loose HP by going down to a single carb.

Been thinking of going to randakk dual carbs but also considering the single carb conversion. already rebuilt my originals, and had it piss gas on the right, found the problem, tiny O ring that didn't come with the kits. started it up this year after storage, and it started pissing gas from the...

more then that....its flaking off. you look at it and it likes to throw a few grains of plastic off of it

appreciate it, but damn.....costs more for just the plastic then new master cylinder i bought that is meant for the GL1100

i just keep throwing more money at upgrading Bear, soon he will be a brand new bike. but next on my list is replacing the rear air shocks, which i have wanted to do for a while now anyways, never was a fan of them, and they are starting to go and not hold air overnight. so, wanted to upgrade to...

I am looking at upgrading my handlebars to be a little taller, and with that, need to upgrade the clutch and throttle cable and such. when it comes to these, what do i look for, for it to work? i know almost nothing about the ends and such so not sure what i am looking for other then length of...

could use a little more help, not sure what that means on what i need to look for.

Ok, doing some window shopping online, and i keep coming across different things that are confusing me. Been looking even on J&P cycles and i keep seeing them say ones that have 9/16", and 11/16", and ones that have 15mm bore. what exactly am i suppose to do with these numbers? bars are 7/8" so...

trying to stay away from china stuff right now, and the only other ones that i can really find are chromed ones going for $100+ and I am not really wanting chromed pieces with the direction i am going. so looking at black ones. if you know of any others that would work, would appreciate some...

this is kinda what im looking at right now https://www.ebay.com/itm/7-8-Motorcycle ... SwxM1dIFWV

Is there anything i need to look for when shopping for a new master cylinder other then it fit a 7/8" bar? mine is that old plastic that is pretty badly sun damaged and is flaking off so i thought it would be nice to update the whole thing.

I rebuilt my carbs last year, not a problem, no leaks. but finally was warm enough to do that i wanted to get bear out. they are leaking fuel from the fuel crossover, so need to find the o-rings for it. but i don't know what size, or part number just for those.

I'm wanting to change the style of handlebars on Bear, but not sure what to get yet. was thinking of going with mini ape hangers, I'm somewhat tall (compared to alot of people) and having bars up the my chest roughly would be comfortable i think, but also don't want to spend a ton of money...

went out to a salvage yard looking for parts for my classic car, and came across an old, i believe 78 GL1000, guy said its all there, even though a lot of pieces are off the bike, and his brother just wants to get rid of it. im not sure if i should, although price is awesome, he wanted to sell...

so, decided it was time to update some stuff. already did the back tail lights, rebuilt the carbs, about to re-build the front brake calipers. but what comes next, need to upgrade the handlebars. they have been slightly bent since i bought the bike, and the grip strips where it mounts are...
