The forum has been rather quiet so I thought I might do a what-if thread regarding the GL1200 engine ignition control module (ICU). Don't know if I have covered everything, but this is a topic that many may have been thinking about, not so much doing this type of project but what if this little...

Best item since sliced bread! Have you ever needed a third hand for a flashlight or the trouble light you are using is too big for the area? Check out these LED Flashlight gloves, I got a pair for Xmas and have been using them on a regular basis since: These gloves can be battery only or...

New thread needed. The Part 2 thread is at: 1985 GL1200 Limited ECU Replacement/Upgrade - Part 2 Mentioned this in the last thread: "Good news and a milestone. Went for a 7-8 Km ride today. No sync losses, but the O2 sensor is indicating a rich mixture. Had it up to about 80 KPH. The engine...

Just a thought, welder for DIY garage little projects. Lots out there at reasonable prices. Have been looking, did arc welding and acetylene in my youth. Father was a master with a torch and clothes hanger, and brazing. Looked at a 3 in 1 flux core welder/stick welder/lift rig 200A with...

Back from my sister's wedding in Ontario. Good trip, saw some new areas. Weather was good. For the ride back, bought a plug in cooler. Worked well. Handle is a bit dodgy, plastic and not too sturdy - had to be gentle. Allowed us to have in car snacks along the way. Kept eating costs...

Have read some forum threads about the demise of a 1200 ignition control module (ICU)., others as well. These are good units, but can be easily damaged and become unserviceable. These are available on the used market, not too expensive, but still some 38 years old or better. Even if working...

Been mulling this issue over for a while. There are a lot of older GW ignition systems converted to the C5 units (no longer available), or some other electronic ignition system. The question is why. Because we can is one answer, perception is that it is better - possibly, modernizes our...

This will be my second small follow on project regarding the OEM ECU Replacement/Upgrade Project. Fuel system integrity is needed, but so is regulating fuel pressure in the fuel system fuel rail. The fuel injectors have been cleaned and flow/leak tested. The injector fuel flow is done at a...

Looking into he cryptocurrency phenomenon, mainly because I keep hearing/reading that it is bad for you. Looked into Bitcoin in 2013 when it was $13.00, got a bitcoin wallet and didn't proceed with it - my bad and coulda/woulda/shoulda scenario has happened. However, all is not lost. Got me a...
