1980 GL1100 I, going to single carb

I have it running very well with the single carb. I didn't buy a air cleaner with the carb and manifold deal. Once that comes in and I have it installed I will get some more pics up. I still have to route the throttle cable and get the attached and working as it should. I am not too sure if I want to rebuild the air shocks it has on it or get some aftermarket shocks. They are 12.5" long and there are lots of aftermarket for not too much. I will not be keeping the bike for personal use so I will not be putting progressive money into them.

 

Put the new rear shocks on last night, that was fun with luggage brackets in the way. After a little bit of wrestling around the jack (to raise and lower rear tire) and the rubber grommets, it all came together. When I sell the bike the stock air shocks will go with it. I would guess they would work great if someone wanted to put the $$ into progressive insides and rebuild them. A little cool here in Wisconsin this morning, so will not start to put all the plastics, covers and bags on until at least noon.

 

Waiting on a throttle end for the carb, thought I had all that stuff and sure enough, no joy. Once that is done and I can adjust everything, I will put all the plastic back on her. Windjammer and then take a look at the bags. I am sure they will need some TLC and fitting adjustments.
