Greetings, You'll find plenty of help, resources and encouragement on this site. Great looking bike- hope you get to put some miles on it this summer.

My first bike wasn't quite as fast as 750 Suzuki oo any of the other bikes come to think of it but I still had a great time with it. It was a 1969 Hodaka 100B enduro bike. Sorry I don't have a picture of it.

Thanks Dan. I'll check that out.

Where did you find the type 4 plenum-manifold? I've been looking at VW performance parts companies and no one seems to have them anymore.

Check out the For Sale or Wanted forum. Some of those interchange from year to year. You could ask in the general forum ; someone out there will know.

Please let me know if the brake line set is still for sale. I was going to put on a set on my 81 Interstate.

Greetings from Brockton, MA.

Welcome from MA. The folks here will help you get that fine bike runnig again, I have no doubt.

I'll check that out. I have something similar to that but it's too big so I stole an insulin syringe from my cat to help clean the passages. This works out for me as I've been too busy to finish the project. Thanks, Steve.

What kind of tires did you put on your Wing? I have a 12" x 18" aluminum sign that is just under 1/16 of an inch. If you can't find anything and can use it it's yours. Oh yeah, your bike looks great, Steve.

Did you find a way to mount the trunk? I have a factory rack from an 81 Interstate that might work . Let me know if you need it.

Happy to say I wasn't on that jet. I 'll be using my day off now to pull the other jets. Thanks for the advice.

I'm a moron. I can't post a link to progressive because that's the wrong site( sorry ). I was on the Race Tech site. The part number for the cartridge fork emulator is FEGVS3801 ($169.99). If you press "More" on the upper RH corner of their home page and click on "suspension bible " you can read...

Hi, I'm going through my 81' Interstate this year. I've never had it on the road except to ride it home.I looked at Progressive's site for new springs and I saw cartridge emulaters. Has anyone used them and does it make a difference? I'm going to put springs and seals in the forks and figure the...

I've been rebuilding my carbs with Randakk's kit. Everything went well until Tues night when I found the last carb had a really plugged up idle jet. Wasn't able to clear it so I soaked it with penetrating oil overnight. Today I tried Littlebeavers method of removing the pressed in idle jet(the...

Hi Roady, It may be awhile before I can answer that. When I' m finished with the carbs the plan is to replace the timing belts , hoses and clean and renew the appearance of the engine while I have the carbs off. The bike is an 81 interstate with 19,000 miles and in pretty good shape as it spent...

Thanks for the great writeup and photos. I'm rebuilding my 1100 carbs using Randakks kit and manual but I decided to check this out. I missed the little oring by the diaghram . If you hadn' pointed that out I would have reassembled the rack and installed it without the oring :Awe: ! That would...

Z1 Enterprises is a place I've ordered stainless brakelines and fittings. They carry parts for many Japanese bikes.

Holiday greetings, Several weeks ago a friend who was junking some old bikes gave me a bucket of GL1100 carbs he had completely taken apart to clean. They were covered with varnish and some dried up carb dip he had tried. I decided to try a product I'd never used on carbs to see if it would work...
