I went into the bank today with a mask on, a pistol on my hip and asked for a withdrawal. Now if you'd have told me I would ever do that I would have said you were crazy.

This happened to one of the buildings I run in Downtown Houston on Monday. https://www.khou.com/article/news/local ... 4afe34b4e4 No damage at all to the place, so it looks like we dodged a bullet right there, but needless to say we are getting the grounding Meggered pretty soon. I don't know...

I first installed my C5 in about 2015, it has always had the Blue and Brown wire grounded and the Green wire disconnected and I have enjoyed many miles of great, yet sedate, riding with it set up just so. However I believe my existing set up depicts the Green line in the graph below. I'd really...

I realize most all Single carb conversions are custom in a lot of areas, and mine is no different. I'm using a Weber DFT that works great... but I just wish I could find a throttle return spring that doesn't give me right hand cramps after 3 miles of riding. These days it seems I'm either...

I've got this GL1100 standard exhaust system for 80 thru 83 and all 3 sub models. It just that it doesn't look really pretty, it's got pitted chrome on it and of course the crossover tube is worst affected by that, but apart from that it's in solid, sound structural condition. No leaks, it's...

I got my front wheel out to fix the speedo and under the lights of the shop, I can't help but notice the cracks in between the treads of the old trusty Continental super twin that you can't get anymore. So I'm thinking about swapping it out. I absolutely love my rear Michelin Commander II and...

Okay, there was one minor failure of the bike out on that run that was not self inflicted. About 30 miles before home base, the speedo quit. So now I've got it up on a jack in the shop and I've narrowed it down to the speedo drive. (Thank god it wasn't the speedo itself, what's out there for...

So for those of you wondering why I gave special thanks to Izzy and his boy at Legends Custom Shop and Bar out on old route 66, east of Amarillo. Here's the whole story, this could get complicated, so I'll try to keep it as short as I can. So we're coming back from dinner and I miss the...

Ya'all know that the C5 ignition I installed last year fixed all the carburetor woes I had. Because I was afraid of messing it up back then I followed the instructions to the letter, and it worked. Enough to run a 2,000 mile trip. But here's this. Can I improve upon the bikes kinda/almost...

So now I'm hoping it's a good daily rider so's I can rebuild the GL1100!

Built me a new shop in the back yard, ain't quite finished yet but it's getting there. Working under that car port, with the heat, rain and the mosquito's, which at some points I thought was luxurious, compared with working in the street in London. First thing I'm gonna do with this thing is...

Pulled into a rest stop this evening about 20 miles south of Tupelo MS on the Natchez Trace Parkway for a smoke and a stretch, and everything was fine. Spent no more than 15 minutes stopped, the minute I pulled away from there I noticed a rattling I haven't heard before. Seems to be coming...

Can I perhaps be the first left side photo?

I've done this a number of times. Sometimes it's easy, other times it's hard, but it always went on ok. But this time I messed it up real bad. Anyhow, new pump and gaskets on the way. So in the meantime, have you old dawgs got any tips for nailing it every time?

I can't blame anyone but myself. Maybe it was a messed up seal to begin with, but when I went to the '75, 371's. I should have took a little more care! But it's getting fixed now!!

Y2K Vulcan 1500 FI. Figured I needed to find out what all this V twin fuss was about!

From a never wrecked 1982 Interstate with only 50K miles. Engine turns freely, frame is guaranteed dead straight. Missing from engine is starter, fuel pump and bottom hose flange. But package includes, clean gas tank, stands and rear brake lever. Clear title. $350 obo. Buyer ships...

That I finally think I got it right! And that Tom Langdon's stovebolt carb was the final link in the chain that it needed. It is a little gutless below 3K (show me one that isn't,) but take it over 4 and that thing runs like a scalded cat! :BigGrin: I spoke to HOTT last week and he told me...

To avoid the fiasco that went down in North Carolina last year. I took off the automatic choke and sealed it off, then I made sure the choke flaps could not suck shut by siliconing them open at the linkage. I also changed around the jets, (on the advise of a forum member) and now it runs...
