Thanks for the info. I have heard of TC Bro before I think I am going to step back take a moment and decide how I am going to go forward. The company I got the other one from is sending a replacement. Guess that might just end up on the shelf. Thanks for all the help I have a lot to digest. I...

No I rebuilt the calipers but the master and lines are new. I contacted the company an they admitted that they have had issues with some of them. Waiting to see what they come up with I may try to isolate the master today and see if that builds pressure but I don't hold out much hope just by...

Well I have tried everything I know of to do and the only thing that I came up with is I must have a faulty master cylinder, I even separated the system and made a setup to test each caliper by its self with no change in end result I get pressure to a point but never a solid handle and I bleed...

Well, another frustrating day with no positive results. I have decided that after taking the system apart and testing each caliper directly connected to master cylinder and trying to bleed and nothing changed, I feel that I got a faulty master cylinder. Because with all the bleeding I did there...

I thought I would start a new thread and try to keep it updated and share anything learned. I have included a picture of the bike as it was when I got it in 2014. It was a light roll over but had sat for a while, so the carbs were all messed up and at that time it was cheaper to buy a used wing...

Well I understand everything that has been said about how hard bleeding the GL1100 front brakes are. I am fighting this issue now with the project I am working on now. It had sat so long that I had to replace the master cylinder, hoses and rebuild the calipers. I have some brake if you pull the...

Well just decided to suck it up and ordered a new one this morning.

As I get some time I have been working on my 1981 1100 I cleaned the tank and installed it. After the install I put in some gas and gave it a try. Only to find the fuel pump seeping some gas from the weep hole in the side. So I guess it is time for a new one. Are the aftermarket ebay ones any...

Ok I have had a little more time to work on the Old Wing I changed belts, checked valves and changed oil and filter. I have the new single carb system on it ready to go. I had an old Pict34 from my VW trike that I had rebuild to like new condition. I put it on as it was on the trike shot a...

Thanks for the info.I see you are a Brother in Arms I was in 71-75 was a great experience. I found out while working on it today the hole in the handlebars that is to keep the switch /throttle mounting from moving is in a little too far causing binding, moved that and is working ok. JohnB

I have been working on the 1981 1100 trying to figure out this single carb update. All seems to be going ok but I noticed that the throttle effort is really hi. The cable was lubed before I started and seemed to work fine. In this instillation I did not shorten the cable. But once together it...

This is the video I watched and he does a good job. The manifold I got off ebay from a seller named boiler-boy he lists them as he makes them so you may have to check back. Looks to be a nice manifold

Well, I learned a lesson today the hard way. I did a Goldwing trike project back in 2014 where I bought a lite rollover Tri wing trike. I soon discovered that the carbs were in tough shape and the cost to get them repaired was almost as much as it cost to replace the bike. So I bought a nice...

I thought I should take a few minutes and let everyone know how things are going. I have been taking my time trying to get everything as it should be. I changed oil and filter and replaced the belts and checked the valves for starters. On this bike I remembered that the carbs needed help and...

Ok I should be able to do that. i can't wait to get going should be a fun winter project !

Hello All I am just getting started on my new winter project. I have a left over 1981 GL1100 that had a Triwing trike kit on it that I bought in 2014. It was a lite roll over with 62000 miles on it. I don't know how long it had sat but the price was right and I bought it. I changed oil and...

Wow that sucks. The only thing I have heard with the solex carbs that the shafts can wear and that lets them suck air. That is why I sent mine to Tim at Volkz Bitz .he rebuilds them and when you get them back they look like new carbs. He has done a PICT34 and a PICT 30-2 and I will be sending...

Wow Thanks for the info I do have a rebuilt PICT 34 that I run on my VW powered trike. Right now I have issues with a faulity cam on a engine I rebuilt for the trike so my GL1100 is going to have to wait a while. But hope to send off the pict 30-2 this winter to re rebuily by Tim at VolksBiz.

Hello all, I have been interested in this topic for quite awhile . I built a GL1100 trike for my son a couple years ago out of a rolled Triwing 1100.and in the process ended up with enough parts to build another 1981GL1100 . I need carb work and am very interested in the single carb conversion.I...

As some of you might remember I rebuilt a 1981 GL1100 Triwing trike for my son. He now has about 2000 miles on this oil change and we are wondering how often do you change your oil and filter. The manual says once a year /8000 miles but that sure seems like a lot of miles.And are there any...
