When I did my 1000, I used one of these two bolts: I was replacing them to mount my alternator bracket and they were the perfect length to fit the new pulley. I don't know if the 1000 is a different size, but I believe it was an M10 x 1.25, and none of the hardware stores around me had the...

Arg... I still haven't seen my replacement coil, so I sent them another email. For some reason, it was never shipped... :rant: They are going to send it overnight in the morning, so I should have it Thursday. I'll ride again Thursday night! :yes:

After a quick ebay search, it looks like the 75-76 gl1000's had the feature like mine : And the later ones had a rounded feature: I'm guessing the newer ones could be tapped as well, with a little more effort.

It is the one that was on the bike when I got it. I assume it's the original gl1000 cover, the pump is the original bakelite.

Thanks guys! I got the s-plate and my one good coil re-installed, statically set my timing, and patched up an electrical doodad I made to combine the signals from the coils for my tachometer. This is the piece of the ignition I "adjusted" in post 46. I rewired the bike from scratch back in...

After reading Dan's post, I went out to check my plugs, but my flange holder doodads made it so I couldn't get the socket on. I was flying out to Salt Lake City to pick up my family and drive them back to Denver early the next morning, so I decided to leave it until I got back. The morning after...

Wow, time can sure fly! My family and I went for a fun vacation camping in Yellowstone with the wife's entire family. 22 of us in total, we had a whole section of the campground to ourselves and the kids had a blast playing capture the flag in the trees. I sure wish I had been able to take the...

Drilled and Tapped the thermostat housing. Thanks Chanuckxxx for the idea!

Valve and more copper tubing.

The perfect place to tap in for plenum heat return.

Just to be clear, this is the good stuff you just put in, right? My 1000 has been running hot. I've tried all sorts of things (including flushing with CLR) and just blamed the little fans I put in after installing an alternator. I'll have to check which kind of antifreeze I put in there when I...

It is surprising how long those little things take. You'd think I could make it look prettier... but it functions well enough. I took her back out for a spin with the wife and she rode so smooth. Acceleration is just so smooth. It's also quieter than the stock carbs with my modified air...
