    What is the ID of tubing on that carb Flange? Is it 1" id pvc tubing or 1-1/4" id tubing? 1" id PVC measures 1.040" I am not sure about the 1-1/4" id measures out at.

    GL1100 PVC Manifold and 34-3 outta box Carb

    I agree what ever carb is being used, that should determine the fuel pressure. I will keep that info the back corner, dark spot of my mind, to answer, why does this run poorly.

    GL1100 PVC Manifold and 34-3 outta box Carb

    I have a new Electric Fuel Pump from 85' honda prelude (Carb'd version) waiting for the SCC on the 84' GL12. I am not sure what the 85' Prelude carb'd version fuel pump pressure is, and will have to put a gauge on it to see before i worry about getting a fuel pressure regulator for it.

    GL1100 PVC Manifold and 34-3 outta box Carb

    Everything is sitting on dolly's, engine height would be lower as it is to high, and front suspension is to Low, this is a project and nothing's in stone yet. I also thought about Moving the single seat to the front of the trike, right over the front axle/suspension, the seat would be low, and...

    GL1100 PVC Manifold and 34-3 outta box Carb

    Hey DKL, Nice manifold build, Have you considered using a 1-1/2" id 5 position tee, and Not cut the 45's but glue the outside of the 1"ID 45's directly into the Id of a 1-1/2" id of the 5 position Tee,as the measurements should be very close for the 1" ID 45's od to fit into the 1-1/2" ID...

    the PVC manifold didn't go so well so now I'm making one from copper plumbing parts

    My thought was the 1" PVC pipe used for the tube runners to each Cylinder, has a 1/8" wall thickness on each side or a 1/4" overall added to the ID. Well a 1/4" roughly in a UN-precise manufacturing process. So 1" ID tube would yield a 1-1/4" OD, for the tube add another 1/4" to the OD for the...

    the PVC manifold didn't go so well so now I'm making one from copper plumbing parts

    Question: Chuck C Did you cut any of the 45's shorter on one side before going into the 5 way/position Manifold? Looks like one side has been shortened? What ID was used on that 5 position manifold? was it 1".00 ID like the rest?

    Bought a new bike it's a Honda

    My problem is i changed the way I do business, and my income has skyrocketed, about 25 times, but my time is much less especially with riding figured in. New Valkyrie get 50+mpg, out of a GL1800Valkyrie. I was shocked to see that on the Valk forum. It is easier for me to buy than to come up...

    Bought a new bike it's a Honda

    I dont know if I would go into the Honda Dealer, If i was you, it's dangerous. I stopped into my local Honda dealer. I saw the new CTX1300 and the new GL1800 Valkyrie, I am not sure which one of those two, maybe both, will be in my garage soon. I am going back for a couple of test rides soon.

    Brake callipers

    I would think Brake Master cylinders with a larger piston at both front and rear brake master(s) should provide Better braking, that and SS braided lines. I have a new set of Nissn brake masters on my shelf that have larger pitons but i have not installed them yet.

    Triple Tree Color

    I did mine in an aluminum paint color, 2 coats primer and three coats color. I like the look since mine is a naked 83' GL1100 bike, more of it is exposed.

    :clapping: :salute: Good job guys, interesting stuff, so if the drilled hole, and it you have decided it has become to large, and is to lean, and goes the other way, or negative in your testing, and you need to go backwards to a smaller hole that you had previously. You just solder hole...
