my customizing need to find a name

[Ansimp]

Great name and more good progress even if work has been getting in the way :good:

I still call mine The Bike too after 5 years or so.
No name has ever sounded right though as many mods I've tried out on her I should call her The Victim.

Multi Bike Syndrome

The primary reason bikes need a name. If you only have one, the bike will do. Ya got 12 the wife wants to know which one.

I thought it was a Harley tank :yes: ,but with so many jap copy cats on the road these days,was better to ask opcorn: the flush gas caps looks nice. The question is how do you reach your coolant reservoir? The side photo of your wing looks really great.I've seen a video on youtube of a gl1100 with a harley batwing fairing that looked pretty cool.

 

[Jack the Dwarf]

The batwing was my first idea after i saw the YouTube one, but here in germany u'll get in trouble if it is not approved and those i cant afford (€800 and up) concerning the coolant reservoir, i just take off the cover and i can reach it without problems. The fuel caps came with the tank, no keys, so not lockable. I will sell them in fall, because i have the next idea in my head for fall/winter.... :grin:
A bikers work is never done!

[dan filipi]

Very nice, Jack.
Your attention to detail looks great and that fat tank fits nice!

 

[Jack the Dwarf]

Thanks, makes me proud to hear that y'all like my bike! Unfortunately i have to fix the fork seals, they are squirting all of the oil.... Never done that before and the manual description is awful.... And i need a new brakelever /brakefluid Box (mastercylinder?) because due to the dragbar its in an awkward angle now... I need a straight one.... Any ideas?

I keep recommending what I know and that is the CBR1000f ones work great and should suit your application well. I want to use one on my 81 to improve the performance of those single pot calipers which will have a different angle problem to yours.

 

[Jack the Dwarf]

I wonder if my braided hose will fit the cbr 1000f brakelever unit....
