I will get the package in order some time next week..in between whatever projects hit the shop. I took today just to do the caliper and work the last few things out on my skunk project. I am gonna take some pics of it tomorrow after i get the side covers done and on the bike. I put in a 12 1/2hr day and even went and did my first repo on a truck for a guy. Had a pretty interesting day!!

Sounds like it was Chuck.Watching yours with interest.Whenever you can is fine by me.Done way more than I expected already.Just have to say thank you again.
Was looking at the rear shocks after reading a article someone posted from a classics site.They are OEM.Have the damping adjusters under the rubber boot things.Anyway to rebuild them? Be to cool to keep what must be one of the first adjustable damper shocks on this bike.

Dont know about rebuilding shocks I know how to disassembele them to clean all the parts though. I made spring compresser out of an old rusty manual bottle corker..will post pics of the bike and spring compresser later.

My friend from work gave me this.Came with his bike,he didn't want it.Told him I did.A thank you for helping him get his.
 
I have the same exact fairing..dont know who made it but its still in the plastic wrappers..may sell if the right person wants it.
 
Emgo Viper.This one needs some work but nothing I can't handle.
 
Original mounts are just sheet metal that forks though the headlight bolts.Plan on doing something better with this one but had no problems with the one I had before.
Edit.Actual answer is I don't know.

I'm not sure does Martek make the Dyna? I think so buy I could be wrong.:eek:





Got some wok to do.Got to remember this is my winter project.Want to dig in right now.Think I just disassemble it and enjoy Old Yeller then get on it in the fall.

That Martek and Dyna are not related. I had one in my GS750B along with a header made by R.C. Engineering. The Martek worked quite well. It's waterproof and nearly indestructible. The only drawback was that it wasn't very tunable other than static advance.

Started to begin the process of stripping her down to a bare frame.The wiring in this is has been hacked up pretty bad.Hope I can get another one.Turn sig wires where twisted and taped.Can't even tell what the R/R wires are doing.Dropped the oil,smelled of gas.Need to rebuild the petcock because I do want this style.Doing more tomorrow.

petcock kits don't contain the crutial part that causes leaks - the spring that pushes the valve closed so the rebuilds often fail. having said that i just STRETCHED the spring in mine a bit and it's been leak proof since. yes, it's a mickey mouse style fix but i spent thousands $$$ elsewhere on the bike so am kinda proud of this lil mischief :p
 
Did just a bit of work today.But first the PO(not AZR) solution to signal wiring

The ground was taped into the headlight ground:rolleyes:
2011_06100002.jpg

SO much better than a connector:clap:Went though the rest of the wiring,not as bad as I thought.May be able to use it after all.
