I made me an overhead light for my workbench in the garage.
Couple of 10W halogen lamps strapped to an extra wheel.
The on/off switch hangs down to the left

I went for a good ride on my 1100E. I purchased a low seat last week and rode with it today. I had a super comfy travelcade on it(and love it) but I wanted to check this seat out .
Not many days left for us up here.
What a good bike

NICE! Maybe hang it from the center axle hole and more lights around the edge... like a chandelier.

Hi to all, last night was clean and polish time for the wheels on my wire wheel Kat. Can't say I really enjoy the job while doing it however, looking at her now it all seems worth the effort! Cheers.

Got up the nerve to pull my carbs apart and start the rebuild. Playing it safe, doing one at a time and making sure to go slow. I even took pictures of where all the brackets and linkages go...

And all I did tonight was fill my supposedly maintenance free battery with acid, put the Dynatek back in, and get the exhaust back on its bracket properly...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

I removed the swing arm assembly on my GS550ES and have the engine ready to remove from the bike with some help. Then will bead blast the frame and primer it. Lot of work ahead in this total restoration project.

Installed a new front MC assembly. Much better match to my clutch lever and less rattle than the old one.
Finally got my other tank spread enough to fit the frame, but the paint got mangled along the way. So I stripped it for a re-paint.
