    1975 GL1000, Original and unrestored, excellent condition

    ABS cement is great for the plastic bits. I know GL 78 and early 80s. Not sure if any of 75 tank is plastic. ABS and mesh melds into one very strong bond. I even back filled steel plates in my Califia trunk to mount arm rests. Added strength without putting stress at the plate edges against the...

    Bike lift jack

    I have a HF jack for my 83 GL. Bit on the full load rating of the lift, but worked well. Plenty of straps before taking up in the air. I also put a wrench on the bigger hardware to loosen first. Would not want to be wrenching too hard with the bike off the ground. Worked great to take both...

    Tire Pressure Monitor System

    Thanks, AApple. Looks like I agree with the threads, $150 is too high. Seems like they go off on a wrong turn about cell phones. I have found a couple of different units. Guess my best solution is a pair of gauges. At least cheaper. I miss Texas, but not going back to Houston. Rick J

    Tire Pressure Monitor System

    Has anyone used one of these systems on the front / rear shocks? How well do they work for low pressure in the front? Systems I've looked at have a small key fob and replacement valve caps with transmitter. Rick J.
