Maritime's new GL - 2UP Distance eater

[Tune-A-Fish]

Oh yes and I got this tax free. Will make wiring funner.

I always recommend a few shooter bottles of Turkey Honey or American Honey whiskey for wire jobs

 

[irk miller]

Thanks for the offer but I hate those pipes lol

HAHAHA, me too. I can't give these damn things away. LOL

 

[Maritime]

Tune I'll give that a try when the ones are gone. It will be a few nights.

So how much of this did I get done LOL. the infection coming back sure did impact trying to get this all done in 13 days.

TO DO:
Wiring - all systems, new gauge, required lights to be legal. NOPE
Brakes - Front bled, rear checked, new rear line can wait. NOPE
Cables - New throttle cables installed, clutch checked and lubed, choke mounted and lubed. One thing
Seat - GL1100 pan modded to fit 1000, foam carved, some kind of cover - OK got the leather at least for this
rear fender - mounted - NOPE
Rear lights - tail and turns mounted, may need to use leftovers temp for now. - NOPE
Mount exhaust. HALF!
Make bracket for heal toe and mount. NOPE

However things not on list done were new clutch perch and brake/clutch levers mounted. And swapped out bent kick stand for straight one of the 1100.

Other:
Fix broken sparkplug wire, clean drain holes in Head, change oil, re-fill coolant. check clamps for leaks

Wow, let's see if that can get done in 13 days with the gimp leg. Apparently not much, but any forward motion is good.

I have 2 days to get it done for a day trip, not likely but I will try as one day is a Sat. The dad in law helped with some hard stuff for me to do alone as well which leaves easier stuff for me.

Hah! rent a hog for the ride

 

[Maritime]

Hell no I have the CX I can ride for one day, I'll get the GL done for the big ride in July come hell or high water.

 

[Tune-A-Fish]

then don't kill yerself man... go have some fun

 

[Maritime]

Ha thanks Man, it's going to depend on weather now it may be cold and raining.

 

[Maritime]

New pipes. Need to bend hangers to put them just right but look ok to me. Doing throttle cables and controls then putting the new to me k&n in and new to me false tank back and can start rewiring.

 

[Maritime]

Think I will bend the pipes up some from the pic to follow frame angle

 

[Maritime]

Ok one pipe permanently in place. I like em.

 

[Maritime]

I have both mounted now and have fixed the angle o the passenger pegs to be correct.

 

[cxman]

now grab a 79-81 cx500 custom rear fender and tail light

cut 2inches off the front in a straight line

and bolt it on inplace of that gold one

 

[Maritime]

That looks alright murray

 

[Maritime]

Fuck I hat my internet. Typed a huge update and it crapped instead of loading. Got shit done, had to redo shit from stupidity and dyslexia. Close to wire time.

 

[Maritime]

Ha, half of the post loaded and half didn't stupid internet. I'ma get some whisky now and keep working. Shit to follow

 

[Maritime]

In wrapping the last of the harness found a rusty cable clamp in the battery to solenoid connection that can't be good. Kinda glad I am rewiring.

 

[Maritime]

This happened. The crack will have to stay for a bit.

 

[Maritime]

I think I have the spot for the board to mount. I'll drill and tap some holes to mount it. The I can start running wires. It's in the pics above.

 

[Maritime]

Ain't this pretty. Amazing the bike could go 4000 miles without issue on that rusty connection.
