Nice project. Looks like something my wife would want to go on the back of!
Changing subjects completely here... where does your forum username come from? I keep wondering if it's a play on a French phrase.... "Je t'aime" in which case I guess you're talking about your bikes

user name is actually quite straightforward and boring: first letter of my first name, then the first three letters of my last name. I'm not quite that romantic I guess tho I did learn a bit of French in school hahaPrevious GS fleet: '78 1000C, '79 750E, '81 650G, '82 1100G, '81 1100E

Well it took a bit longer than I care to admit, what with the distraction of *another* cheap winter project I picked up ('96 Virago 1100), but I've got the Voyager running and riding good after a few go-arounds with the carbs. Boy they are a pain to take off and on that bike! I've got tires sitting waiting to go on, then some fluid replacements and it should be ready to roll for next riding season.
Initial impressions: surprisingly easy to maneuver at even a walking pace. The COG is nice and low, as is the overall seat height, and you've got this massive wide handlebar that gives you incredible leverage. haven't gotten it any farther than around the neighborhood so far but the carburation feels really good, the bike pulls smooth and hard right from idle, but no excessive gassy smell either (idle mixture screws set 1/4 turn richer than factory spec). Once I get the new tires on (will try to ply bwringer with some six packs of diet pepsi for him to mount them up at his place) I'm looking forward to trying the bike out on the open roadPrevious GS fleet: '78 1000C, '79 750E, '81 650G, '82 1100G, '81 1100E
