What did you do to your Wing today ?

[AApple]

Got out yesterday and swapped the alternators on the 1500, removing the leaker, and installing the one I replaced the brushes on earlier this year. It works! :yahoo: Showing 14.3v pretty much all the time. Just hope it continues to work at least until I get the leaker replaced. They said as soon as they get this one they'll send a replacement. The leaker is boxed up, labeled, and ready to take to the UPS or Fed Ex place down the street....haven't decided which one to use yet.

Sure hope they don't send me the same one right back....it's happened before on other stuff... oh2:

I'd suggest putting a secret mark on it somewhere, but if it's boxed up you'd have to break into it again.

Bled the front brakes still again, and have a pretty good lever now. Pulled the lift spools I had made off and counter-bored them for the new grade 12 (all that was available) Allen head bolts and washers and re-installed. Now I can pick it up easily with my spool lift. Makes work on it much easier, and storing it on the stand keeps it upright so the left bank doesn't fog the neighborhood on startup (I had ground off the center stand).

Removed coils and cleaned mounting surface (Rusty) also removed condenser and cleaned (Rusty) also found ground of battery box rusty.Cleaned everthing and now old girl running smoothly.

For the longest time i've been wanting a tall wraparound windshield for my 1100 but there's always something else more important to spend a hundred bucks on. A buddy gave me a wraparound windshield from a 1200 parts bike he bought. A bit of work with a 4" Harbor Freight angle grinder and it's on!

Rebuilt and put stock carbs on today and changed out my tail turn signal lenses.

On Tuesday had to go to Portage Indiana to fight a ticket I was given in my Semi and won. The one pic was when I stopped to get a snack and drink and to avoid a rainstorm I drove into anyway.

Still tweaking on the carbs but pretty happy for a day gig.

I like the Pacifico lines better than Vetters.

 

[FlipFlop]

I do too, and they so so rare. The advertisement I found for it was featured on a 750 too.

 

[joedrum]

Had a Pacifico Shadow Royal on my 750A back in the day.....always liked it.

I haven't been doing anything to my Wings for the past two months... except riding them. The only work I've done to them is check the tires and clean the windscreens. I've been so bored, I've started making pens on my lathe.

 

[pidjones]

We put our GL1000s in Pistol Pete's booth at WingDing 40 today. Seven good samples, including serial 02.

The '77 with Pacifico that got me back on two wheels in 2004.

Put new tires on the Interstate. Nice feeling having new tires. Replacing the rear is a labour of love. :builder:

 

[brianinpa]

My 87 decided to take a nap the other night. It decided to rest on the windscreen and broke, so I replaced it. Having spare parts is a good thing!
