Hey guys, got a problem and I have no clue how to find the failure. After I removed my stator I found the case had a hole in it where the rotor spins. However, the rotor shows no wear. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I have ordered a new back case so I can get my engine back...

Merry Christmas! Hope your day is full or family and love!

Slowly painting all the pieces. The frame has taken me over a month of sanding and I am still not done, might need to rethink how I am going about that. Also how do I go about protecting the bike info on the frame? I ordered some bearings from CMSNL so thank you guys so much for the tip! If...

I will be done sandblasting soon and I will be using ceramic engine paint to coat it. I was able to find rings, I have been having issues finding crank/piston bearings. Any links where I might find those?

I am talking to a machine shop near me to see if they can clean it for me to paint. I honestly didn't know you could even paint them till I found this engine painted.

Giving the case a bit of a cleaning tonight. Starting to look nice. This was black a few hours ago

Actually have made a ton of progress. The engine has been completely disassembled and is being cleaned at the moment. I have been trying to decide on what color I was my plastics and fake tank. (Have been thinking about purple). i rebuilt all the brakes and the forks and will hopefully be...

it looks like someone was chopping pieces off of this lock nut. Any clue on how to remove one of these? I tried a freewheel tool (FR-6), but it still won’t move or budge. Could really use a hint to get swing arm off.

I don’t know, but the damn groundhog lied to me again this year and said I would get to ride early!

In the garage this morning it’s 29 degrees and windy as could be. I went riding last weekend on my BMW so it should be warming up soon. Where are you from?

Thank you all! Of course it is the most beautiful of all motorcycles the “GoldWing”. I am from Hartford, CT USA!

Hello everyone I am David. I found this GL1100 in a barn and decided to give it life (I have heard the engine run so woohoo). I am disassembling it now and will be turning to you all to help me find the replacement parts I need. I have been using the forums for a few months now and finally...
