Guys,

Thanks for the comments.

I was installing the bodywork last evening and noticed that I did not have the normal amount of clearance that is required when placing the right side side panel ...

I only wish I had taken a picture of the airbox when it was loaded!

I am not surprised that the mice did what they did. Hey, they were storing food for later. I am surprised (and embarrassed

...

Guys,

I figured I would try to wrap this thread up and report back on what I did.

I started this thread to show how filthy dirty my carburetor bank had become after riding a season with an air ...

CBX,

Thanks for the reply. That's what I am trying to learn.

The yellow stuff... that's 'normal' fuel residue or was it worsened by the fact that I rode the bike last summer with an airbox fu ...

CBX,

I regret not getting a picture, but yours is on the money.

My mouse (or mice) were particular. They just carried the small round seeds into the airbox. No sunflower seeds whatsoever.

Guys,

I had a chance to be in the shop over the past weekend and I started one of my winter projects - removing the carbs for the 900F for a good cleaning.

I decided last summer that the carbs ...

Guys,

I used a soda blaster (the 40 pound bottle from Harbor Freight) to clean my 1100F engine.

I wanted to remove the grime / oil accumulations and whatever loose paint in between the engine ...

Yes... very nice. I'd like to see it up close.

Thanks for the pics!

Mr Wones,

Thanks for the comments! I've been finished with my 1100 for some time now. I've been meaning to post my final results photos, but summertime is for riding and family and whatnot.

...

Tom,

Awesome as usual!

Is Grump prepared to do the rest of the bike that way as well? Can't just have nice covers! Gotta do the whole thing!

Scott

Tom,

I am glad you rode away from that one.

Scott

Easy,

Thanks for the comments.

For me, the fun is in the project. I enjoy a good ride, but the real fun is in the rebuild project.

Scott

PS. I am looking for the next project, but it ...

Looking good!

Nice work.

Well, Rainy night here in Upstate New York... and for most of the Northeast as far as that goes. Rainy, cool summer so far. Wish things would change and I could get my 1100F (and 900F) out to one of ...

Guys,

I recently purchased a nice 900F (solid) rearset.

I am confused about how these kits were sold (should be) vs. what I actually have. The difference in what I am looking at are the foot ...

Tom,

Thanks for the comments.

Oh, I check in most every day, just got things going on.

The bike is 'done'... I just haven't gotten to that part of my build thread. Another update and then ...

Hey out there!

Sorry for such the delay in getting to my story. You know how it goes with Summer and family and things like that. Hardly any time to even ride!

I'll try to get back to my th ...

Tom,

Looks great as usual. You are like a mad-man with this bike!

Scott

Tom / Guys,

I may have mentioned this before, but I'll do so again here for the sake of including the relevant information in this thread.

For my 1100F rebuild, the stock exhaust system was in ...

Very nice Tom.

That rear disk is a toughie to mask properly. I've tried to paint them and I know that the masking is the tough part.

Scott

Tom,

Nice work. Did you use your HF pneumatic stapler? I bought and used one for when I did my seat cover... boy what a difference.

You can adjust the 'power' and get the staples (use the sh ...

Great job!

Turned out really nice!

Scott

No riding (for me) here in New York.

Today was sunny, but really chilly. Yesterday... about 45 degrees and I saw snow in the air as well. Nasty cold wind as well!

A few weeks ago... we were ...

Tom,

You indicate that the cast wheels are reasonable... you mean like the 1100F wheels? The Comstar wheels with the exposed surfaces present a different challenge, Right?

The Gold (and Silve ...

Those look great!

Nice work by Tom.

Nick,

Looks awesome. And yes... more detail as to how you did the lettering on the switch housings! I've always been chicken to try to do that to my switches.

Thanks.

Scott

OK Guys, Time for an update...

I haven't been devoting a ton of time to this project. I am close to 'wrapping up', but I'm not quite there yet. I hope to bring this bike to the NE ride in Oneont ...

Hi.

Tom beat me to it... I bought an instrument cluster for a Goldwing. Check on ebay and you'll find several. A bit pricey, but you can sell what you don't use. The Goldwing's screw is the co ...

Bob,

Great looking seat. Super looking bike! I like the blue trim on the seat.

Thanks for sharing.

Scott

Swift,

Nice work! I love watching these come together.

I see a lot of the same parts that I've been wrestling with on my 1100F.

We'll both be riding in a few weeks here.

Scott
