        Went ahead and bought this just because it was the last one.

        I also went ahead and ordered Robert Barr's o-ring kit.

        I know that you guys are bored with these updates. MUST GET ENGINE!

            I am still deciding if I want the blue paint or not . Very hard decision between blue and red.

              I really like the blue. Especially after looking at Joe Nardy's bike. Plus there are a whole lot of red 1100E's floating around.

                Just to let you know, that harbor freight rear wheel stand does work, BUT it's hard to get on with the 4-1 and with the motor in it wants to twist and jump off the stand. Just be careful and support the front wheel, or you may have your tire off and 400lbs of bike of your legs.

                  I actually know a guy selling one of those rear stands. It will be very useful but I will remember what you said.

                  So today I screwed up. I had this Maier fairing on my watch list for a whole week, took a nap, and was not able to place my bid. Cheap too.

                  If anyone finds one of those for cheap, please let me know!


                  I took a quick look inside the carbs today. The jets that are in it right now are 132. Stock was 112.5 so at least the carbs have been rejetted for the 4-1 exhaust and pod filters. I didn't check the pilot jet yet though...

                    I went and bought that rear stand I was talking about...



                    The swingarm sits on the rubber pads.


                    Like this.






                    So... I really like this rear stand. Very easy to use. You can adjust the rubber pad thingy to different lengths too. I did say that it was really easy but we'll see what happens when the engine and exhaust are in....

                      Sweet! These just showed up in the mail.

                      I spent 10 whole minutes placing the screws nicely for the picture, only to put them back in the bag, haha!


                      16 stainless steel allen bolts for the top carb caps. 16 stainless steel allen bolts for the float bowls. Then I'll go out to the hardware store and try to find some SS allen bolts for the gang plates.

                      Also got the CV carb kit from Cycle O-Rings. And yesterday, I bought a can of Dupli-Color Gloss Black Caliper paint. I hope this will work .


                      And lastly, I will need 1 gallon of Berryman's carb dip. I'll pick that up next week.

                          Try using snipe software. I use AuctionStealer. It is free to use. Just decide what your highest bid will be and type it in. Either you win or you don't but it makes sure you don't lose because you forgot. I have used it a dozen or more times and the only time I lost an auction was when I was out bid. It also helps you avoid bidding more than you wanted to due to the emotion of last minute bidding.

                          Thanks,
                          Joe

                            Dude, that's like a cheat code in real life . I cannot tell you how many times I sat in front of the computer waiting for the auction to end with my bid typed in the box LOL!

                            Thanks Joe! I'm going to use it .

                            EDIT: I signed up for it.

                              Good call Joe, my wife uses Auction Sniper as she buys heaps of things off eBay and gets some awesome bargains by not bidding until right at that last instant.

                                Got a very nice set of stock shocks. I'll decide which shocks are better when I get to ride the bike.
