[QUOTE="pidjones, post: 206493, member: 3026"] Well, this may even be worse than the Hunley. Some bright "mechanic" replaced the forks with Kawasaki KZ750H (LTD) leading axle forks that give it about 2" trail. Oh, and they are 36mm forks in Honda's 35mm triples. They just stretched the clamps out. So luckily, I had an extra set of GL1000 forks that are ratty looking but Ok in the seal area. Ebay for a set of GL1000 triples and axle. Also the original bike used the same calipers as a GL1000, so I have some spare parts. Shims (it uses bucket-anf-shim valve adjustment) still need swapped, but even with valves out-of-spec the compression is fairly good. I've been rolling the tank with over a gallon of Evapo-rust in it to clean it up after an acetone soak to get the varnish out. It's going to be fun figuring out how to meld the CB750F instruments with the GL1000 upper triple. Fork dust seals came today as well as some nifty-looking red brake lines from China. Front forks are mounted with 200 cc each ATF. Maybe the humidity will get low enough forme to consider repainting the Hunley's side covers soon. I need a break from these carbs! Kehiens, and worse than the ones on a GL1000! Air cut on EACH CARB! I'm going to disable the air cuts, set the pilots 1/2 turn beyond factory, and let it backfire a little. So far I've spent four days cleaning carbs and only have one finished. [/QUOTE]
