GL1200 Engine Wiring on Run Stand

Probably be a lot quieter running if exhaust were piped down into a bucket of water. Nice set up. So now you know it runs what's the plan?

Nice rig.

I think that should be enough cooling :clapping:

That is very cool! Glad she's runnin' for ya!

Ahhh...to be able to weld! (My vision won't let me.) I used a basic engine stand for my 1200 build, and my 1100 was simply resting on a sturdy table.

What's next, you say?

Back to the ugly trike build, which is down to "How do I make this look like a 150mph golf cart?"

The assembly is complete; I'm waiting on a trunk lock assembly for the rear center panel and then I'll start putting lipstick on the pig. Did I mention it was ugly?

I'm looking for ideal slogans to put on the back like:
"Yes, I know it's ugly!"
"Honk if you think it's ugly!"
"Your girlfriend looks worse than this!"
"Don't make me talk about your mother!"

Nice work, have to hand it to the people who modify to the extreme! :clapping: Always thought two wheels in front was a lot more stable, easier to turn, & a more user friendly way, as far as steering options, verses axill, & rear end set ups. :headscratch: Great set up on stand, need to get busy & build one, but been insulating the 2 x 6, rafters with 2 x 4 insulation in garage so there's still room for the roof to breath & cool, as well as holding in the heat. A welcome change that should cut the cost to heat considerably, & in summer keep the overnight coolness inside longer.

Once the tins and tupperware are in place I think it will look better than any of the new cars they want us to buy. With a fresh coat of lipstick (paint) it will look as nice as most other trikes. A backlit picture of Yosemite Sam guns drawn with "BACK OFF" would be good in the middle of the rear panel.
