Took both Wings for for short 20 mile rides and filled them with non ethanol fuel and sta-bil. Then this evening took the Grand kids out trick or treating.

I've only got about 50K on my Neon setup, Iridium plugs gaped at 35, if I run 75-80 mph a little over 40mpg, if I run 85-90 just under 40, I have an oversize wind screen and run on the TX Toll ways.

That picture shows how the running lights are installed and look like better.

I used an Autofast plug and play for the head light, package comes with two purchased on Amazon. I've been running it in the bike for almost 2 years with out any issue. I have MOTO horns installed under the lowers to large for the the factory position. On the 80 I had to use a relay to run the...

Bath day for the stable

This is mostly an 81. This was a barn find I purchased as a parts bike. My Son decided to try and start it one day during a visit it turned over a fired on starter fluid as the carbs where a disaster. Since getting her back together have only put about 500 miles on it and it seems to be breaking...

This was my daily drive until I retired last year. Yes it is listed for all 4 years do to combined parts, Frame and Harness back end is from the original 1980, Exhaust is from an 81, Brakes up front are 82, Engine and forks are from 83. Plastics are from 82 and 83s.

Spent the day setting the floats on a set of 3 AMAL carbs for a 71 Triumph T150 and prepping the rockers for install.

Apparently when I put the cooling system back together after replacing the radiator, thermostat and the connecting tube o rings I disconnected the darn wire for the temp sensor it was not snapped onto the sensor just hanging there.

Well just did a 50 mile run at 75 to 85, that just barely keeps up with traffic here in TX, Speedometer and Tach both ran solid and smooth the whole run. Temp gage on the other hand need to trouble shoot went from 3/4 to 0 just after the turn around point, fuel gage working just fine so 7v thing...

Thanks for the info on which ones I can use. I was able to open up the speedometer and soak the bottom half in MMO over night just enough to cover the input shaft. In the morning was able to get the drive to start turning worked it for awhile and it seem to be loose for low will see if it...

I have a resurrected 81 GL1100 finally have it up and running have put the first 200 miles on it. The speedometer took a dump started bouncing around and then stopped at Zero not even driving the odometer. Cable is good, drove speedometer with a drill and nothing happens. Is there a way to...

There are a number of good DIY's on how to Sync the Carbs but what is the trick to getting the idle airflow set correctly. Not only is that darn screw under there hard to get at but the book is a bit confusing up down 50 rpm and all that stuff. How do you pros set them or do you just set them...

Well I pulled a real dumb one last week that my case savers helped me with. I flatted both tires so that I could add more Dyna beads not thinking about how low that would make the bike, I did not put it on the center stand. Installed the beads TOUCHED the air chuck to the front wheel and the...
