Having spent a good bit of time reading everything I can find here about the single carb set up about the only thing I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around is the need to have all the runners exactly the same length. Taken to an extreme, the intake runners on my Chrysler slant 6 were a...

https://ad-libs-vw-technical.blogspot.ca ... m-air.html Stumbled on this one. Seems simple enough if there is enough room.

The 2015 Bigfoot rally will have lots to see for 2015. We will be in Ponoka Alberta with the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group the last weekend in July. Not sure what I'll be riding yet but I'll be there. :clapping:

I just stripped an 83 engine that was seized due to being left outside with no carbs on or cover. Didn't split the cases but everything else that could be taken off is sitting in a box. I don't need these parts so if anyone needs something it can be had for a donation to this site plus...

A project I did in the 90's. More pics in gallery. (more stuff)

Sometimes Craigslist can be ok. Saw a picture of a 78 GL for parts minus the carbs. Called him yesterday morning and set up a time to see today. Didn't know how I was going to deal with trying to get only the frame but went to see him anyway. Turns out he got his father and a friend to...

Found a do it yourself sand/bead blasting shop in Chilliwack British Columbia. Went to check it out today and found they also do Vapor Blasting. Apparently this is very popular in the UK and Australia. While the blast cabinet is very similar to a regular blast cabinet this one is sealed...

https://www.caswellplating.com/restorati ... ealer.html Got this one from a Guzzi forum I use. Apparently it is also being used in plastic tanks to solve the Ethenol problem.

Well I guess it's time to start documenting this project otherwise I'll forget half of it. :smilie_happy: To start I forgot my camera in the shop so pictures "will follow" so to speak. Because I am in BC visiting family for Christmas I went to see a supplier of Vintage Goldwing parts I know...

Has anyone tried this? Wondering if the sensors on the 1100 will work with the 78/79 temp, volt and fuel gauges?

Wasn't sure which thread to post this on so decided to start a new one. :headscratch: Dug though my pile of manuals and found the Haynes manual #393 WEBER CARBURETORS. To 1979. Not sure that even pictures are going to help me learn some of this stuff to any degree but interesting reading...

Tried to buy but no luck so far. It belonged to his father.

I am a long time fan of Por15 products to eliminate rust problems etc. One of the products they have is called PorPatch. It is listed as a filler, sealer and adhesive and comes in a 4oz tube. To start with, don't get it on your hands unless you like the look for some time. Also, once it sets...

Slowly piecing together and idea for the 83 Interstate I just bought. Plastic all broken so...........let the imagination run wild. I have had a Superwedge Faring for some time but no mounting hardware. I know I could figure it out and build my own custom mounts but it would be a lot easier...

As you probably know the early disc brakes worked well for their time but like early HD's the lever always felt hard and needed a good squeeze to be effective. I looked into getting a new if somewhat expensive front master cylinder but after getting some advice from glwrench out in Green Bay I...

I recently installed a c5 ignition in my 76 Guzzi. Due to an accident situation at our sidecar rally I was not able to do much testing with it as I had to leave my bike behind and trailer the other rig home. The only things I know at this point are that it was a pleasure and simple to time it...

This year we are holding our 30th Bigfoot Rendezvous at the Toad Rock Motorcycle Campground near Nelson BC Canada. This is just above Bonners Ferry Idaho. Everyone is welcome with a sidecar or not. Just bring your interest and learn what sidecars are really all about. Dogs are welcome on...

Hi folks. I've been riding for 50 yrs this June. Started on my 16th birthday with a 1963 Honda 90 C200. Put 10,000 miles on that little bike the first year. Obviously I weighed less and was much younger then. :smilie_happy: Had a lot of bikes over the years including a number of...
