Changed the seat on Goldy for one of my new custom ones.
It took a whole minute. I almost broke a sweat! LOL!

Sorry Pete my mistake, what I meant was use the hacksaw and grinder on the tools to make them fit in to your fabricated tool carrier, not to touch the 450 in any way, cheers.Originally posted by pete View PostHahaha very true Glen... although I don't think my electrics will like that somehow

Never mind, tool tray definitely ain't gonna be ready for Sunday and I'll need my tank bag for the camera and water bottle anyway

Put the new starter clutch in the 1100G powered 1000G. All finished except for rewiring the alternator, which I hard wired two years ago. Now the wires are too short. I got too cold to finish today. Solder six connections, reinstall the airbox, fuel tank, and side covers, and that's it. Probably finish tomorrow.
I now have a spare starter clutch kit for a 1000G, as I did not know it was an 1100 until after trying to install the 1000 kit.
Also worked on a '92 Poleris Indy Trail Deluxe. It had the wrong nuts on the back of the starter.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

Here are the lower forks of the '73 Z1. I got one done today. They, along with the other pieces, were in not so good condition.Comment

Changed the front sprocket yesterday. Didn't get to test ride it until tonight and all I know for sure is that is still pulls away from a stop without drama. Only rode in the cul de sac across from the house.Comment

Completed rewiring the stator and reassembled the 1100G powered 1000G. prepared to start it, and determined that the choke cable was seized. Removed the tank and removed the choke cable. Broke the cable trying to free it up. Found that I had a set of stainless allens for the engine cover from Z1 in a box of parts, so that got installed. Choke cable is on order.Last edited by 850 Combat; 02-09-2012, 08:14 AM.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

Today I took the carbs off my 7900 mile blue 1100E & put the Factory Pro needles in them & cleaned them out. Bike fired right up!!! My buddy GregB put the coil relay in for me & installed the Honda r/r & next is the Kerker that goes on temporarily till I get my Bassani fixed & ceramic coated. It sure did make me happy to hear it run!!! First time in over a year that it has run. Got the carbs real close on the first try too!!! I didn't have 50 pilot jets to put in it so drilled the 45s .003 bigger & haven't even touched the mixture screws from where I base lined them 3 turns out.
Ray.
