New-2-Me '80 GS750L

Mate that is good news!!!! Love that feeling when she first fires into life... can't wait to get mine fired up again now I have good intake boots and stuff.

Definitely looking forward to the video

Here is a better pic of the rear of the SuperTrapp, I did some more searching to find some info here and seems others have had good results with 6-8 discs, one even up to 12. I can get another 6 discs off Motorcycle-Superstore for $21 so I see yet another item I will be buying.



On another note, today was one of the few nice days left I am afraid, so in order to celebrate I took a hint from all you guys doing the clean-ups and I pushed them all outside and swept the shop.
Heres the 3 Amigos in my sig...



Here is the project in her current state of readiness, can't believe the dust you can see out in the sun!




Once the shop was presentable again, back inside she went... but I fired up the 'oldWing and went for a ride, hope she isn't going to start getting jealous!

Mate that's a nice stable of bikes you got there

And yeah, definitely lovin' that paint job on the GS! Looks even better in the sun

But where are the pic's of the clean workshop? How can I possibly believe you cleaned it without pic's for proof?

[Hoosier Daddy]

LOL!
Ok, I got the loose stuff picked up off the floor and some of the work bench space then swept the open area... more believable?
Thanks for the props Pete

Hahahaha fair enough... and here I was thinking you'd done a proper clean and tidy

Oh, and I forgot to ask, what's the deal with the discs in the supertrap? Do they make it more restrictive or something?

[drivera84]

thats a nice stable!

I really like how the paint job makes it stand out...the paint just shines in the sun....

I really like lil sister too....

nice work...

Actually just the opposite. Think of the disks as "open spacers" the more disks you put in the more opening there is for the exhaust gasses to excape.
Less disks = quieter, more back pressure, better low end torque
More disks= louder, less backpressure, better high end horsepower


With only 4 in mine it seems too restricted and that will also lead to it running rich. I found some disks on e-bay and straight from Suppertrapp themselves so I WILL be getting more in the near future.

Thanks for the compliments drivera84,really means a lot to me. You know Lil Sister is for sale... too bad the shipping to Honduras would be OUTRAGIOUS!

[pete]

Aaaaah got ya! So yes, you need more discs

[Hoosier Daddy]

OK first Video was a bust so I made another short one tonight. Should be able to up load tomorrow. Amazing how I can tear a bike into a hundred pieces and put it back together but this damn camcorder always eludes me.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Alright.... finally got it uploaded today after the second video attempt. (whew)

She looks and sounds goood! I want too see it with that cool paint job though!

[Testarossa]

Sounds good! I like the temporary fuel tank. Too bad you won't have much time to ride before next spring. You have done a real nice job with that bike.

[SVSooke]

Very nice Scott.BTW Mrs Sooke says you're not ugly,take that for what that's worth.She married me after all

[oneliterbeater]

[Erki]
