Thanx for the replies. Thermostats not backwards,but,I see in shop manual theres a notation to make sure that it's oriented right regarding a"weephole" or such,need to check that.Will also check water pump innards. Old coolant was clean/full and at -35,should not be any freeze damage or such.No...

:doh: Bought a naked 77 Wing last summer..."I'd ride it anywhere,no major issues,blah,blah blah".Higher miles but adult original owner.....mistaken trust...bike fired right up at sale,bit of roughness of stale gas/tuneup kind..bought it &hauled him home.Couple days later unloaded from trailer...

Way back,my HS Auto shop teacher,retired pro mechanic told us that there ain't many "cure in a can",products that work as claimed...with some exceptions and passed out a short list.Now that was over 4 decades ago but as I recall,Seafoam,Stabil,Heet,WD40 and a couple Casite products pretty much...

Thanx fellas :) I may even get to ride ole RWP(ran when parked) some day.

Bout a month back,pulled the carbs on my 77.....cables were worn so I pulled them for replacement........Now I can't recall if they go over or under the frame crosstube above? :oops:

My 76 was completely missing all the pins...and the plastic bushings.After a bit of digging in my"inactive materials inventory",I came up with a couple pieces of 1/8"?? brazing rod long enough to bridge both hinges on either side,when slid through from the front.Used shortened plastic drywall...

Who's used what and outcome? Recommendations. Used "No Leaks" or such on both my 750As,about 2yrs ago.Bikes have been stored indoors,only a few miles on ea since....Both have one side seeping. Checked reviews at Dennis Kirk and apparently I'm not the only victim.....

Actually the blood sacrifice is for the Shop Gods appeasement..;) As to the special werdz...remember,these ole gals came from Japan,not Tennessee,so sometimes they don't"savvy" Merican;....The wondeful thing is the Interwebs can teach ya ta cuss in Japanese :) When heat is needed and flame is...

THANX Gang....believe I got everything figured out now and more Wingstuffz in my Favorites files. :hi:

Need a single carb top for 77 GL1000......or knowledge of where/how to replace broken"button" on top. All I can seem to locate are decorative coverups,not the domed button itself.Marked 2,6 inside Thanx

Thanx for offering,but projects on hold for now,while I try to find the elusive"bumper"rail.Kinda want to stay OEM on this'n.

Thanks,converting a bagger back to naked,missing seat rail(so far),so no signal mounts :( But,got a line on a non advertized motorsickle graveyard yesterday,which alledgedly has lotza old Wings moldering away.Bout 50 miles away from me.Story is that owner is older,parapalegic,ex biker,that don't...

Anyone know offhand if the 78-79 tailight bracket(with turn signal mounting holes),will match the fender mounting holes on a 75-77? I can't seem to get the questioned bikes butt-butt to compare. Different part nos on each but "maybe" the signal mounting holes were just added :headscratch:

Thank,whodathunkit? Guess when I put the new throttle cables on I pinched the wires&broke the starter switch. Tests show thats the problem...Thanx again!

I asked at local body shop,they referred me to a parts store they order small amounts from.Apparently these days no one wants a bazilion different colors sitting around,so small amounts are mixed from base and colorant(s) in-house,and that can fill a rattle-can,but as said above,it's a bit...

Got me thinkin(Scarey)...Old Briggs Starter-generator,with pully removed and 6-8" fan blade.duct tape it to the front fender :)

Working on"refreshing my 76 GW,PO adv headlite only worked on low beam,either stock one or Vetter. One removing the vetter found Satans ratsnest of wiring in shell.Apparently PO never heard of connectors.proper splicing,electrical tape etc.Managed to remove the havoc but now have NO headlamp...
