My first project: 76 GL1000

[sebdel]

Hi guys!!!

I don't know if I can tell it a "restoration" but this my first wing :

A resume of 10 month for the restoration of my 1976 GL 1000:
Now I use it every week one day the wing and one day the voxan


A l’achat :

Le démontage


L'état des roues, je sais pas si les rayons sont rattrapables...










Décapage et peinture



Roues terminées


Fourche terminée



Longues portées, clignos, compteur... terminés




Cale-pieds, amortos et pièces diverses remis en état






mise en apprêt:


peinture:

résultat au soleil:



Je trouve ça bien correct vu les conditions pour peindre (cabane de jardin bachée avec un petit radiateur électrique pour essayer de pas peindre à -6°
début du remontage


on continu un peu:



Voilà pour le style général de la péniche:



Le moteur

Avant
Après
quelques photos du moteur sur l'établi:



Maintenant j'ai compris pourquoi certains préfèrent les petites cylindrées, c'est plus simple à remettre dans le cadre

Et deux photos identiques (avec sans flash parce que dans le garage les vraies couleurs ça rend pas trop...






Echappement et radiateur repeints et remontés



Terminée :

Hello sebdel,
I've always admired these bikes. Especially when they first come out. They were huge.
The photo's are great. I didn't realize the engine was so wide. the photo's give a good insight. Especially inside the dummy fuel tank.
There starting to get a following here too.
Cheers

Thank's brt651 !!

But I don't know if for this one it will be a necessary following, because actually I ride it every day without problem ;D

i have not seen the kick start lever in any of the pictures

and it looks like you are missing the black rubber kicker plug i know i have a few kicker pedals and think i may have a spare rubber

if you need/want them

We all know how much fun it is to kick these things ;D

 

[sebdel]

Thank's CX man but i have several ones ;D

And yes... really funny to start this boat with the kick.... ;D

i have dyna ignition instead of points

they trigger a dodge neon coil pack instead of the old honda coils

i have a coil power relay direct from the battery to the coil pack with no ballast resistor so it can use full voltage

and i have twin 38 mm mikunis

my bike will start one kick cold but the big job for the kicker is setting the valves
