A tarp costs like 5 bucks...

The race on the fork can also be pulled off with a special tool called a crownrace puller. makes it much less of a headache.

Awesome! hope it goes well, i've had a vf700c for awhile and always wondered if it'd be worth chopping/bobbing. keeping tabs on this.

Only way i'd get on the back with my girl is if she was hauling my wasted ass home from the bar. (and i'd probably fall off anyway)

If you haven't already head over to the Naked Goldwing Forum (www.ngwclub.com) and they can answer any other questions you may have, and you can get plenty of ideas for your build. Also make sure to visit Randakk's for technical info and invaluable tips. http://www.randakks.com/TechTips.htm#E...

first check that the button on the bar is functioning properly, if yes then check fuses, if all is good starter brushes may need to be serviced.

If you have access, maybe a light spraying from a media/sand blaster from a distance.

Either my Snapon ratchet, because it feels so right in my hand and just works. Or my MacBook Pro, because it makes all my other projects possible and is a source of constant inspiration.

All else fails you can usually double your money with a little eBay work, otherwise get a couple of similar bikes and piece together something unique that fits your style.

seems like it, or just buy a whole new bike, great marketing scheme.

the only way to do some of the honda gauges is to dremel a small slit in the silver ring that holds the gauge together, its the only way i know of on the sealed ones unfortunately. then you can replace the ring or weld it back together and hide the repair. wish there was a better way...

Look for an AGM battery, they can be had for not much more than the stocker and usually can be mounted in any position, upside-down even.

If you've already got one wire to go through, it may not be sturdy enough to pull a bundle through, i might try a coathanger and tape to yank em through, a little stronger and you can pull harder. You can make a little hook and wrap the wires so they'll never slip off.

True, but in reality my Rupp Roadster2 minibike has a bigger engine! ;) (probably weighs more too...)

If it's the same as my '75 there should be a hex head on the bottom of the bowl, it is threaded into the petcock body and has a seal you can check at the top, otherwise there are two screws that hold the petcock directly to the tank, take those out and it will slide right out, check the gasket...
