have been reading the variety of posts regarding coil upgrades ..... Neon ... CBR .... etc ... see where Dan seems to have put a good amount of time testing the various options ...... is there any consensus out there as to what the best coil upgrade is .... vs. none at all ....

Ok, gotta start somewhere. Opening new life chapter, BUT, gotta rid myself of wing projects. 1980 1100 standard with Vetter 3 w/lowers, see pic on CGW banner under "Crowesnest3", very custom paint, maybe u like it maybe not? Mechanically great condition other than stator is gone! Needs new...

Man how many ways are there to change the fork (in) oil? ....... the question is: if I pull the fork caps to refill with fresh fork oil can i also then just pull the oem fork springs and replace them with "progressives" ? or is there more than just pulling em out of the tube to contend with...

Ok, so whats the trick to get the headlight out of the fairing on the 83 interstate? Mine has digital guages on dash above tach/ speedo ... pulled that out looking for attachment screwes don't see any ( of course they are probably right in front of me! ) however ..... only screw I can get near...

...... a follow up on my earlier thread concerning what I thought to be a stripped or busted rotor bolt on my 83. Needless to say the prospect of that bolt being stripped or busted was more than depressing; however, I would not give up that easy and damn if I didn't succeed! Was not getting...

83 gl1100 interstate ....... picked her to rebuild last year, just got around to it couple of weeks ago, she did fire up after sitting for @ 3 years and ran pretty well done the road, tore her down to detail/ tune/ maintain/ sell, go to adjust valves by bringing to TDC with the rotor nut on the...

Ok, no doubt its right in front of me as ususal, but swear you had a fork rebuild tutorial for 1200 interstate (84), thinking of adding progressive to the front, probably should get an idea of what I m doing first! ..... Crowe..... :Egyptian:

Hopefully this is not a duplicate post, think I forgot to hit the submit button. Installed Marine Grade coaxels under arm rests on my 1200 Interstate last year, wired them to the sfont speakers directly, volume of rears less that fronts, sure seems, should I have wired them directly to the power...

...... been frozen in for the winter!!! ..... anybody got any info/opinion on the stator coil harness replacements out there on the market? Campbell is one . Electical connection another, certainly the science makes sense, does the intall make sense. Don't have any problems ( yet) but coming...

So I had a soft handbrake so smart me opens up the master and I goes to do the bleed thing and hey I didn't know there are tricks to perform vs just regular old bleeding! So now I've lost the entire prime, "pumping" the lever ain't getting it and will be picking up a vacuum bleed tool tomorrow...

84 Interstate, I want to wire in a power jack to run my Iphone, both for charge/maps n tunes, where is the best place to hook in? See there is a blank on the upper right hand side of fairing above the glove box..... actually prefer to bury it inside the box .... what wires do I look for? what...

ok guys the 1200 is now "alive"! was just about to order a rebuild kit from Radnaak but decided I would first try the " quick" method. Pulled the tops off, drained the bowls, took a fresh can of carb cleaner with a "straw" inserted it into the slide needle guide and powerwashed it big time on...

...........still planning on making the run to "french lick" in August, sounds like I'll be riding down with a group including Dan out of Sandwich. The question is, asked earlier, does Joe Drum have a place to pitch a tent? or is there a local campground? What are the suggested overnight plans...

The final proof to this pudding is just try it, anyway, anybody "know" if a Backrest from an 83 Interstate will swap over to an 84 interstate? Measurements seems to make it close, but maybe the side covers on the 84 different enough to not let it happen? While I'm at it, how about a seat swap...

Picked up an 84 Interstate over the winter, running rough, actually thought it was only running on 3, not the case, but I do suspect # 3 carb has a problem, spark plug reads different than the others, all light tan to gray, but #3 is almost like its just clean (?) .... haven't checked the plugs...

Moved last year, lot of turmoil,lot of stuff! .... finally go looking for my "bible" a well worn Haynes filled with print outs of "how tos" from CGW and NGW and its no where to be found, thinking a nasty gremlin "borrowed" it to mess with me! With it was my syc kit! and I want It. The point, my...

I'll start with maybe I shouldn't chop up a good set of stock pipes but that aside looking to "undress" my 1100 more to the "cafe" world, have a set of head pipes I was thinking of running 2 into 2 and fit with some "standard" baffeles, but was looking at whats there now and was seeing might...

thanks for the input on tie down, note of close to the triple tree is also my understanding and experience, ie: framework for vetter III on my 80/1100. Looking at the pics of how to remove the fairing on the 84 Interstate/Aspy I can see the oem framework up and around the triple tree, my...

My 80/1100 has very handy rails just under the Vetter where the rachet straps hook up to giving a real nice secure angle for tie down. What is the best way to tie down the Interstate for a trailer ride? The upper engine crash bar?

....idle minds would like to know. Can the speedo/tach on an 84 Interstate be swapped out to a say 83 speedo/tach ( 150 mph model )? Yes, I know one is rectangular the other round and that is the point .... would require fabricating a new dash panel ( like walnut burl?) the question is will they...
