What did you do to your Wing today ?

[joedrum]

well i got the 75 moved into place and ready to work on ... :Egyptian: :mrgreen:

 

[nhegge]

I comfortably sat back in my seat and listened as my youngest daughter played the piano! (I guess I should point that it is an upright grand piano.......only fits in the garage........and the Wing is in the garage too! :hihihi: ) I mean...c'mon...my seat is a "Road Sofa"....why not take advantage and use the "Sofa" to listen to my daughter play! :mrgreen:

(So what did I do to the Wing today?.....does the action of sitting on it to listen to music count?? :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: )

:salute: Sweeeeet , and ya didn't have to put a load on the battery to hear some tunes :good:

I went out and refurbished a sweet little 2ton bottle jack I bought at a garage sale on Sat. and replaced the screw jack I had in the sidecar's trunk! Nice! A little extra room now and a few ounces less weight.

As long as you don't hang laundry on her. I'm pretty sure that's a Honda foul.

Uh OH!...Mark don't you camp with your bike? I think bikes are perfect for hanging laundry on. When I am on the road I only take a couple pairs of underpants and t-shirts, made from easy dry fabrics and at night I wash out whatever I wore that day and hang them on the rigs mirrors....
My trips are usually pretty long so this is imperative for me.

The last couple days I have been playing with alcohol burner cook stoves to see if I can prune my "galley" down a bit and have a better setup for long distance travel south of the border....

That's a different matter, altogether! I'm talking about when she's sitting in the garage. You do not hang laundry on her, that's what fitness equipment is for. :smilie_happy:

Oh! Of course! You make a brilliant point Mark....it all makes sense now! :smilie_happy: :thanks:

So I finaly got the faring back on, then drained the oil and water, pulled the front of the engine and replaced the seals and "O" rings. Got it all back togather so I can replace the fluids tomorrow and maybe take a little ride :wave:

 

[detdrbuzzard]

well i didn't do anything to the wing but i did start cleaning the back yard so i'll have a clean place to park the wings when i bring them home

 

[dan filipi]

I started mine and let her talk to me for awhile.

I crawled under my 83 1100 GL ASPY and took pictures of the rear bumper. Does anyone know what type it is or what hitch will fit it??? Or even better yet does someone have a hitch to fit it and will sell it???? It has chrome bracing running to the shock, seat mounts in the rear of the bike and two braces running to the front bar (bottom picture). These brace bars run back to the rear and the rear bumper slides into and clamps to them (first picture). The inner bumper has a thick center and bolts to the chrome bumper. This part of the bumper is solid metal with support on the top and bottom. It almost looks like the hitch would just bolt to the bottom of it. So does anyone know of a hitch for this bumper??

 

[dan filipi]

I'm not sure if the Markland hitch will work with your light bar but there are other ways like making your own custom hitch with a receiver.

Here's a ebay listing for some ideas. https://motors.shop.ebay.com/Motorcycle- ... 1100+hitch

Saber Cycles had one listed on their site at one time.

 

[dan filipi]

Today I dusted her off, put a fresh gallon of gas in and ran a couple errands.

Found out there's something wrong with the rear brakes, as in there aren't any so I'll be shopping for a new rear master cylinder since I just rebuilt this one.
I had a suspicion the cylinder bore was going to chew up the seal. :rant:

 

[joedrum]

thats to bad dan ...im not doing anytrhing to the bikes today just to cold...i need to try and fix the brakes on the 77 also

 

[Rowdy]

I have a 1978 GL 1000 , I installed two new dyna green coils today and started her up and let her run and changed the oil. :moped:

 

[detdrbuzzard]

wasn't much i could do to the wing today, last nite it snowed so i had fun with the toro

 

[toytender01]

Installed the seat,trunk and side panels. Gased it up and went for an 86 mile ride up into the foothills above Georgetown. HAD A GREAT DAY arty: :yahoo: :yahoo: :ahem: :ahem:

 

[slabghost]

I just bought a few parts. The old girls are snowed in.

 

[ddrichard]

today i will be making alternator brackets, yesterday i changed timing belts and installed crank pulley

 

[patcoburn]

I just picked up a 1983 GL1100 Standard with 21k miles. I changed the left clutch controls and put in new selenoid. I will be picking up a new battery soon so I'll be ready to ride. I hope the alternator is good because pulling the engine isn't something I want to do.
