So far we have about two feet of the stuff; another half-a-foot expected tonight. We don't know where to put it any more!!!!

Which year? I'm looking for something to fit 1981 Interstate.

Thanks for the advice - now printed and stored somewhere. I hope I can find it when I need it! Good luck with the welder - DO watch the video, then you'll be raring to go! Play with some scrap parts a couple of times, and you'll soon see how easy it is. In fact, I can't understand why these...

You can also spend a lot of time glueing live ones to a lollipop stick by the feet and watching them buzz around like synchronized flies. Keeping them fed and watered is a bit tricky . . . .

Hi OldWrench, When I bought the welding kit it was less than a third of the price of the rebuilt fairing I had previously purchased, but I see they've increased the $$ since then. BTW - been reading your really useful tips in the painting section. Once I get the plastic in the right shape and...

>>So my question is how expensive is the welding equipment, and what do you use. The equipment wasn't expensive. I got a DIY kit from Urethane Supply Company, their website is here:- https://www.urethanesupply.com/ I got the Model 5 Airless Plastic Welder model 5500HT, but I see they now have...

Many thanks to everybody who posted making me feel so welcome. This looks like a really good forum. As for parts - since EVERY piece of plastic on the bike was broken and/or cracked I thought about trying to find a scrap bike with a blown engine, but no luck, so I've since welded all the bits...

I have to admit, the thought of my two look-alikes harnessed into a chair like that is VEERRY tempting. Watch this space . . . . . . .

These two would chase motorcycles with a vengeance, but in the last few weeks I've started to get them trained and now they just sit and watch quietly.

Many thanks BigAndrew. We recently adopted a mother/son pair that had been abandoned and were found living mostly on small furry animals. When the weather cheers up a bit I'll try to get them on the 'Wing . . . . . . . [img]gaj20100116_8102ws.jpg[/img

:oops: Well, my first impression was a very handsome militaristic-looking machine dressed in military garb. Also, the windshield and lowered trunk look like the type fitted to 'Wings sold in Germany; the 'improved' (you would know?) slipstream was supposed to make the bike easier to handle at...

I found this thread very interesting, and thought I'd throw in my meagre $1/50-worth. When I first got my 1981 GL1100I (around 1990) it had extra lights AND something resembling a Coastguard air horn; the first time I tried it the 30A fuse blew. Like others' experiences here, the electrical...

Thanks for the welcome, everybody! Folks in this area wouldn't believe Chopin was a mixed breed, so I always said he was an English Foxhound, which he wasn't but it was the closest thing on the vet's chart. The picture was taken about four years ago, and unfortunately Chopin is no longer with...

Thanks Dan. The last one broke my hand with the fairing. Actually that got fixed quicker than the bike . . . . I've managed to weld all the plastic bits back into somewhat close to the original shape. I'm not sure yet, but I don't think the left guards can be repaired because they were scraped...

Hi All, Second attempt at rebuilding my pride and joy, both times caused by deer. Score so far, Dead Deer - Two, Wounded GW - Twice. Having trouble locating replacement engine and pannier guards. Cheers, John W 1998_10.jpg

GL1100 Interstate - Frightened two deer by hitting the third one in the ribs with the headlight.
