What did you do to your Wing today ?

[dan filipi]

Ah...Er....well I took a slight detour :smilie_happy:

Good to see you too Steve.
I'm very impressed with your rebuilt 83.
Runs smooth, gobs of power, and it handles good.
Well done!

Hmm, pretty much everything needed right there for a weekend to Vegas me thinks.

Just straight out of Steve's and hang a left, Lost Wages in no time :smilie_happy:
Say hello to Randy while you are there :yes:

 

[Steve83]

I hope...I hope...I hope...

And thanks for the kind words, Dan!

I got the motor out of the 82

 

[Steve83]

Just curious... how is it getting the motor out with the bike on a table? On the lift I have:

it is easy enough because the lift is supporting the motor. With your table it looks like getting the motor out requires a lot of muscle power or ingenuity. I have been considering a table lift, but that has been the biggest stopping point for me.

I got one of them jacks to, made easy work of it. Now to get the motor out of the doner bike.

For my GL1000, I strapped the engine to a couple two-bys screwed to a furniture dolly, removed the rear wheel and drive/swing arm, front wheel and forks, then unbolted and picked the frame up off of the engine.

1. I got ready for next winter... I got my Hippo Hands in the mail today :music:

2. Got rid of a 78 motor and met oldhondajamie in the process.

3. Started to clean the shiny bits of the carbs.

I hope in amazement and not bewilderment! :shock:

I installed the horns, fork emblem, and radiator deflectors that arrived today. Still waiting on the headlight and grab rail.

Opened shocks preparing to r/r the rear... gotta get oil and fill the newer ones

 

[oldhondajamie]

Picked up a 78 motor to canalabize for my 77 head problem. Thanks Brian was great meeting you!

Same here! Hope it works out.

 

[oldhondajamie]

Got the 78 motor out of my trunk and into the shed between rain storms

 

[oldhondajamie]

Also ordered top end gasket set, oil filter and fuel filter from bike bandit. New timing belts coming from Rock Auto

Opened up the package with my new/old RH fairing light. I will separate and urethane seal the lens to the holder and possibly refresh the Matt black finish ( can see the amber in a few spots, no packing in the box for shipping)

New old replacement RH Windjammer light
