Yeah I decided to remove the gas tank for cleaning. I've already come this far! Follow me on instagram if you like, I post things sometimes / dustydingusyt Music in this video: Hungry for Disaster - Silent Partner
I'll have to post a video soon on mine. We just about finished restoring everything and the gas tank was a mess. I used some expensive shit for a few days and finished with vinegar from the dollar store for several more days. Pressure washed it out and all good again. Almost coated the inside of the tank, but was not necessary. I painted my tank and brake caliper holders to match the trim on my Goldwing and it looks great. My paint job sucks, but it looks great to me. Working on these beasts is a lot easier than I thought it would be. Ride on a stay safe man!!
I've seen all these videos on your 81. I have one as well and have learned alot. But I'm taking a different route on mine. I'm going to do a chop on it. Weld on a hardtail etc. Fabrication comes easy to me but electrics not so much. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching! My suggestion is to get as many wiring diagrams as you can. Their accuracy can vary a bit, Clymer being the worst. Trace everything out and you should be able to figure out what you can and cant get rid of. Get a decent multimeter. If you have any questions, email me dustydingusyt@gmail.com and I'll try to help you out. I can probably send some diagrams too
I have a 75 Gl1000,, I,v yet to start , I,m thinking I,ll take the tank out first,, it does not look too bad a job..... My question is,,if I rig up a gas supply with out the tank can I start the bike..Because just looking at your vid and how much access you have without the tank seems like a good option... Another question..my bike has the original exhaust system,,its been patched on patches,, it rotten though,,it time to meet its maker!!!! does a 1100 exhaust fit a GL1000
No idea, speedometer was gone when I got it unfortunately. But my understanding is the excessive wear results from improper lubrication when doing tire changes. Honda specs something with a very high moly content I believe
You'd rather have silence? I figured that would be boring and people would tune out and watch something else. Feels like a toss up really, likely to get complaints either way right? I'm always open to feedback, what do you think is better? Was it the choice of music? Or the presence of music?
