GL1200 Paint Project - Part Two - GL1200 Paint Project - Part 2
GL1200 Paint Project - Part Three - The Finish: GL1200 Paint Project - Part 3 - The finish
Will be reviewing the other threads regarding this bike and what I have learned, but that is for later. My '85 Limited Edition has kept me busy over the years.
This thread is to document what I have left to do, and if anything happens to this bike.
The last vestiges of work maintenance that I will be doing, besides maintenance that always needs to be done is injector replacement, sent a set to WitchHunter in WA state, and replacing the few remaining vacuum hoses when I take out the air chamber.
Once this work is done, will be connecting the vacuum gauges to the engine, one per cylinder even though this is not required for a left/right cylinder bank balance, but to make sure there is no vacuum leaks and all cylinders are "pulling" the same.
Cheers
