So I am the new guy for now. I am in the process of rebuilding and fixing a 1983 standard GL1100 Naked. PO wanted to make it into a Harley but I like the Wing so I have been fixing it up. Been having tons of hiccups with it but part by part it is coming. I know I am going to come to you guys a lot for help so please dont be shy. Just remember I am still kind of GREEN and hope you understand my ignorance

We all were green once. No one here is shy or for that matter slow to respond. Start a thread of your first issue and ask away. Welcome to the best forum on the internet.

Welcome to the site from New Jersey! :clapping:

It is OK to be Green! We all are (were?) :hihihi:

We can help you with anything you need.....just learn from our expensive mistakes and ask questions BEFORE attempting something new! There is not a nut, bolt or washer that hasn't been touched on these bikes by most of us!

Lol, when I first got my 1100 I knew nothing about this flat 4 water cooled engine but I knew it had a blown head gasket.
All I had was a Clymer manual to guide me which has lots of wrong information I didn't know about at the time but I stumbled my way through.

My first expensive mistake was cranking the engine to pop the head loose like I would do on a V8 engine.
Well...not knowing the valves would hit the piston and bend them, I bent 2.

I had a lot of problems back then with misinformation about these bikes.
It wasn't long after I started building this forum to help others avoid problems I had.

Yeah...I was green too. Still learn a lot from the guys here. It's amazing the mass of knowledge available and freely exchanged and not just about bikes, about other fields of experience that help a lot when it comes to tricks they've learned, and we have some of the best around.

Ask away, there are no dumb questions.

I'm looking at a sign in my shop that reads.
