'80 1100 affectionately known as "Phoenix"

[Joep]

You gonna swap out those dump tubes??? or you going to keep 'em and heat up the boxes??

 

[plskthompson1]

I've got a set of hd cans they're going to empty into.

 

[plskthompson1]

And she's done, for now. As we all know they are never really done, but I can atleast get her on the road now. She goes the first of next week to the exhaust shop to get rid of the flex pipe.

Looks great,awsome improvement.

 

[Montecman]

Who are you,......David Copperfield? Great Job!!!!!!!

 

[plskthompson1]

Nah, no Copperfield here. If you were to see her in person, you'd see plenty of flaws to. She's no show bike, but she's mine, paid for, and pretty much a daily rider.

I even painted my cooler to match. :roll: :roll:

Nice job thompson. :clapping: I think you missed a spot, that black thing on the seat.

 

[Andyb]

She looks great. Nothing quite like the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

She's well on her way back together now. When I get the rear caliper re-rebuilt, I'll be able to get everything back on the way it should be. The only thing left other than that, is to get all of the wiring back together.

Was admiring your exhaust , did you use flex pipe for that install and were you able to leave the centerstand on her :?:

Yeah, the exhaust is flex tube dumping into a set of 07 HD dyna mufflers. She's going next week to the exhaust shop for the tubes to be replaced with standard pipe. As far as the centerstand, yes it's still there with no modification.

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

What a great job, she sure has come along way in your loving hands.
CONGRATS!

[plskthompson1]

I finally got a chance to take a video of the engine knock that has put "Phoenix" out of commission for now. It's short, but you can definitely hear what's there.

That sounds a lot like a loose stator bolt.
