    79 Engine Ticking/Knocking

    I'm getting ready to ride my 79 that I've been working on for years now. I've started it a few times and runs (or ran)well. I did a single carb conversion on it, so I'm running the 32dft from Stovebolt. My knowledge of carburetors is fairly limited, but I'm not sure if a poorly tuned carb can...

    Parting Out: 79 GL1000

I took the collar from my new mufflers my wife got me for my birthday into O'Reilly's...

    GL1000 Handlebar Control Upgrade

    I know I've seen this discussed in the past, but I can't find it again to save my life. I've spent about 45 mins here at work looking (shhh) and I'm coming up empty. I've got 7/8 clubman bars on my 79, and the small button for the turn signal is missing. That small metal tab is not fun to try...

    Will's 79 Single Carb Conversion

    As the story goes, I've got a third generation family bike that I got from my dad. I traded an 85 Cadillac Sedan DeVille to him for it. I paid $300 for the car, and put some money into it over the years for maintenance, but it lasted me about 5 years. The bike has sat in the garage at my Dad's...
