What did you do to your Wing today ?

Put a new windscreen on so I can actually see the road tomorrow!

Changed the timing belts, tensioners and plugs today. Still lots to do yet but at least I heard her run and the tensioners were in fact the problem.

UGH! So frustrated right now, I had a nice ride planned for the Mrs and I to ride down to the coast have lunch and come home a few hours later. I went out to warm up the '78, which has not failed me once since I brought her home in August, annnnd....nothing, I'm fairly sure the solenoid has gone out. I found a couple of broken wires on the solenoid so I fixed that, the bike fired once, then nothing! Oh well, there are plenty of places to lunch here in town.

 

[Ansimp]

That's annoying but at least it had the CGW sense to do it at home rather than ruin your day down to the coast

 

[rob.lafady]

Ansimp, I totally agree! Much rather break down at home! I think it's actually a wiring issue, I can't imagine why, it's only 37 years old...

Hello all.. I'm in a bit of a jam here now. I ordered a front master cylinder brake switch for a 1978 GL1000. PART NUMBER..45530-410-305 THIS is 78 master my shaft is smaller in dia..This is for a 78 gl but my master is a little bit different.. The switch I need mounts into the master with the handle it self slide action. Dose anybody know what part number I need..? :

Also I picked you the front master cylinder rebuild kit

 

[CRAFTMAN6001]

Let me try this againn I ordered a front master kit for a 78 .gl The kit came with a shaft that is bigger. My master is smaller in size almost like the size for the rear. The switch I ordered is for a 78 as well. But again my has two screws and it mounts into the master using the handle to slide with the switch not a push button type.. Sorry I have low blood sugar when I was leaving the first post..
