    Which Vetter Fairing??

    I recently acquired a Windjammer V (5) and mounted it to my '76 last weekend. This is my first time riding with a fairing and I did this to extend out my riding season. I also have the Vindicator fairing that came with my bike when I acquired it years back. Both fairings do not have lowers...

    Need help with turn signals.

    I posted this on the NGW site as well. I am mounting my Windjammer V fairing. For some reason, I lost my right side signals. The relay clicks on the left side with and without the signal connected. I get no click from the relay on the right side. I also connected my charger to ensure enough load...

    Wanted...Windjammer V Lowers

    I'm finally getting around to mounting my fairing to extend my riding season. I am searching for a set of lowers for the Windjammer 5 model which is different from the I through IV models. Type 51 is the Goldwing specific lower but other model lowers can be trimmed to fit. Beggars can't be...

    Trade my SCC setup for a running set of carbs

    For some reason, I'm having a bear of a time figuring out how to post pictures again. I need to read through the tutorial again so I will post pics when I can. I have a brand new SCC manifold, New 34Pict3, plus an original 34Pict3 up for offer to trade for a set of good running carbs for my...

    '81 GL1100 carbs on a '76 GL1000

    So my 76 came with 1100 carbs. Someone set this up years ago. When I resurrected the bike 8 years ago, it ran great. I decided that the SCC isn't for me so I'm going to revert back to the 4 carb setup. My carbs are VB48A's. I went through the carbs today, all ports are clear, floats set to...

    Wanted: 1981 GL1100 Carb slide spring

    SCC Update

    After a much longer extended period of time off the project, I dove in again. The new manifold and brand new 34 Pict is installed. Only after a few cranks, she fired up and seemed to run fantastic. It sounded very smooth through the rev range. I had smoke out of the left side tail pipe which I...

    1976 GL1000

    I've been kicking this around for some time and here it goes. This is my first listing of my bike. I've owned her since November 2011 where I pulled her from the back of a horse barn in pieces resurrected her, and enjoyed her for the past 6 years. I'll detail as much as I can as far as parts...

    Back on my SCC project

    After almost 6 months off, I'm finally getting back on my project. Spring weather is here and I'm ready to ride. I purchased a new 34 pict-3 last fall. I'm planning on installing it but wanted to check on something first. Should I go ahead and plug the hole in the butterfly before installing or...

    My SCC adventure

    Okay, I've done a lot of research before recently becoming a member. I've posted the thread "Best SCC Thus Far" which I have had awesome responses to. I've had my '76 GL1000 for 6 years now and have been battling the '81 GL1100 carbs that came with it the entire time. The carb rack is currently...

    WANTED: 2 Solex 34 Pict 3 Springs

    I'm in need of 2 springs. The throttle return spring was missing when i got my carb but I also may have lost my vacuum diaphragm spring which is part of the electronic choke mechanism. I set the spring down and it disappeared. Anyone on here with a tub of spare parts??

    Workshop gremlins are driving me nuts!

    This happens to me all the darn time. I set something down and it vaporizes into another dimension! Tonight I was excited to get my solex carb cleaned and new kit installed. I had one extra part, a spring that goes in the little pump next to the electric choke. I had it in my hand, set it on the...

    Best SCC setup thus far??

    I'm giving my 4 carb rack one more cleaning but during this entire time, I'm not enjoying it and I have a feeling deep down that I'm just wasting my valuable time when I should just move forward with a single carb. I've read posts on here that date back 5 years or better regarding the...

    Intake runner ideas?

    I've been doing some heavy research on the SCC. I'm tied between purchasing a manifold that's welded for the application or manufacturing one myself using the VW manifold and fabricating runners off of that. I've read different ideas on runners. I'm not a welder so welding runners is lowest on...

    Hello from the Midwest

    Greetings from the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, near St. Louis. I've been a proud owner of a '76 GL1000 for 6 years now. This bike was parked in a shed for 20 years and was basically destined to be parted out. Since I got the bike cheap enough and had good compression, I accepted the...
