Re: The "Bomber" my GL1100 project
Twas a good day / night. I came in about 7:00 and took a "Power nap" till 10:00 then headed back out into the garage till 3:00am... Bachelor hours! ;D
-Engine is in! I haven't tightened all the mounting bolts because the case protectors use two of them and I don't want to install those just yet.
-Seat foam is cut and glued to the pan in the flat sections, 2" where your bum is, 1" everywhere else.
-Fabbed up the rear mounting bracket for the seat.
-Bought 1 3/4" O.D. exhaust pipe for the Sportster muffler adapters, may need to tweek the angle a little
-Pulled the radiator, fan, shroud off the shelf and degreased then washed with the hose... still need to repaint.
Hmmm, those shelves are getting empty.
Still need to pull the wheels (again) and remove the tires,paint the Comstars silver w/clearcoat, and put new tires on.
Rebuild rear Master Cyl as it won't release. Rear caliper is done
Mount the tail light and turn signals.
Still sanding the timing belt and valve covers to polish, down to 800 wet now.
Complete the wiring reconnection and squeeze it all into the headlight
AND do the carbs, thinking the Memorial weekend for that little project.
Ordered some different turn signals, cast aluminum mini's from DCC... those chromed plastic catseyes I bought off e-bay looked "cheap", so they are going on the "Lil Sister".
She got some attention also, check out that thread for updates.
