forgot to say, long sleeves and gloves when working with fiberglass, mask when sanding or grinding, well ventilated area when using resin or painting, blah, blah, blah, safety glasses, if your like me and don't wear prescription glasses but use reading glasses for close up work, I found some...

Stock Harley mufflers off newer bike. Picked up cheap cause a lot of guys take them off for custom exhaust. Mad max was kinda what l was seeing in my mind when l started a custom look on the cheap. Thanks for complements but was mainly wanting to show ease of fiberglass work and repair. dave

had some leftover resin and fiberglass tape and I felt like the rear fender didn't look like it fit the look I was going for so, I used a shoe box for the shape and this is what I got. glass, then body filler with cut fiberglass for low spots, then putty for pinholes and deep scratches, then...

Oh, yes i forgot to mention I have had the hinge pins removed for a long time with no problem and with my fairing I can't tilt them down anyway. I just unscrew knob inside of false tank and turn pin on side cover and remove the whole piece as you would when you normally take off side cover. Also...

Thought I'd post what I did to my 76 to show that yes any one can do fiberglass repair and mods. My bike doesn't have a stock look already but I wanted to change it a bit more. So I decided to make my side covers and tank sides one piece. here is a simple approach to fiberglass work. 1. mock up...

do you have any pics of your manifold setup? love to see it. dave

you can also stick some foam pipe insulation in a regular socket to mimic the rubber in a spark plug socket dave

I use slime, a liquid tire sealer that a lotta dirt bikers use, but only in tubes. The people that change tires hate the mess if used in tubeless and there are stories of corrosion to some wheels if used on tubeless. dave

I just replaced my timing belt tensioner bearings using the procedure in this post from another forum. https://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic ... 11&t=10919 (Not my post and thanks to original poster) It worked very well, but a couple things worth mentioning. The 76 wing has heat shields...

some years ago when I first got my shovelhead I heard a bit of a noise to the rear and when I looked I was dragging my axle mounted tail light and license plate fixture behind me by the wires. Some old sayings do ring true. :moped: dave

Allright ,allright. I'll start using "Harley Davidson" oil in the dodge. 'cause IT's manly man's oil. :smilie_happy: dave

+1 on delo or rotello diesel oil. use it in my 76 gl, 78 harley, 94 volvo and 2000 dodge cummins

BTW thanks for all the ideas for a more efficient way of connecting pump for ease and safety. dave

got 85 gl1200 tip switched and wired it to my electric fuel pump install. Now using normally open 12 volt auto relay ( very common, auto parts store or I got mine from auto junk yard near home ) Much simpler than earlier install and is on with ignition switch and stays on unless bike is laid...

I am averaging 30mpg with single carb but never saw better than around 34 or 35 with stock carbs. 76 gl1000 Would never consider going back to stock even if someone gave me a set of carbs. dave

I did a variation on Shovelkings grab bar using them but putting 1 inch pvc inside mixing some of dans 1 inch idea and the result is great. even running throughout rpm range and 30 mpg with hard riding style. Also used 2 to 1 adapter so I could point the carb the direction I wanted for fitment...

Oil pressure light socket is I think a isolated ground and gets its ground from the pressure switch. Anyway its working now as I am on a test ride now and using my phone to post. I agree the tilt switch is the way to go and have already bought one on eBay. dave
