What's going on in your garage? Part II

[lecroy]

I figured you would only care about the first second or so, well that and if you can ride it back.

Your right. I was just having a tantrum. I'll let you know how it goes. Need a whats going on at the tracks post soon.

LOL, Yes maybe this weekend we can start it.

I guess they finished the 1100 head today. One small problem, it sounds like they prep'ed it for a funny bike. LOL. Your old cases are really getting some nice stuff for as slow as I plan to run it.

Also, took a trip down south yesterday to pick up some VP C16 fuel. I had been running Torco MACH 118NOS, but with all these problems Terry was asking about the fuel. Just one less possible cause. Close to the same spec's, so I am not holding out for a cure.

I got the new jets in as well and set the carb up. A lot of tests to run if I get a chance. Who knows, if the track is not too busy, maybe a new record for the old girl...

Good Luck. just went out, put the body back on, and gave it a fresh dust off.

Hello Everyone

In regards to the garage, I apologize for the "mess" as I have been inundated with these 80s machines. Thanks to Tom for being so kind
as to record this historic event. And to my lovely wife for putting up
with a hobbyist, who has taken most of the real estate in the garage

As for the question for Lecroy, the seat was custom fabricated by
an upholstery shop here in San Jose, CA. I specifically brought a picture,
my seat and seat pan, and the dimensions to the shop owner. I wanted
that certain look, feel, and comfort to go into my bike. Yes, I wanted
the "Chinese" red color too.

2 weeks later, I get a call from the shop owner that he has some killer Italian red leather, and for me to check it out. For the price of vinyl, I
got an awesome deal for Italian leather. His assistant did a great job.
The seam lines are awesome, and it is very comfortable. I will do my GS1150 seat the same way, but this time I will negotiate a deal for 2
sets of these seats - one Porsche tan leather and the other the same
red Ferrari Italian leather. The upholsterer has many leather fabrics
now, with a wide variety of colors. Leather will outlast vinyl with many more years of comfort and reliablility.

I will also custom paint 2 sets of bodywork for the 1150 - one will be
pearl white. The tan matches the pearl white, and the red too. Any of
the combination of the two will work. I have yet to finish this GS1150,
but when I do, I will submit it to the "Bike of the Month" club.

Thanks to TOM MC and RenoBruce for all of their diligent efforts and
encouragement, I am a GS fan for life. There is no other machine that
is fun and practical to work on.

Ken
