On the rough looking aluminum surfaces, I didn't sand off the clearcoat, I used stripper, then washed that off with a brush under warm water, then used red scotchbrite to brighten them up, then some metal polish to give them a sheen, then re-clearcoated them.
@@UrbanMonkTVThe only thing with polishing aluminum is that your hands and clothes all get BLACK from aluminum oxide. I never remember to put on gloves.
@@John_Ridley Right! I try to remember but forget safety equipment all the time. Sadly, aluminum seems to be a factor in Alzheimers and dementia so I try my best to minimize exposure, but there are so many things in the garage that don't belong in a biology lab. Hard to be 100%.
Thanks for watching! I owned two GL500s in the late teens and early 20s (not at the same time). Wonderful machines. A huge amount of utility and value in a "cheap" bike.
Love your videos on this bike I have a 1983 silverwing 650 and its identical. Im currently redoing the carbs and this was majorly helpfull thanks man! You got a subscription from me!!
They're part number 91325-413-830. I found some available from hondapartshouse.com and also on eBay. You may also find at Randakk's GL Cycle Shakk or possibly at cruzinimage.net. Thanks for watching !
Empecé con 2 resultados. Luego ajusté cada uno individualmente usando una herramienta ColorTune. Tengo un video sobre eso aquí. Algunos se quedaron alrededor de 2 turnos, otros fueron más. Olvidé ahora los giros exactos para cada uno. Hice el video hace mucho tiempo. ¡Gracias por ver! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VKfNFq-kvyM.html
@@johnpoche8366 Yeah, they are a little tricky. As for those bolts, they should be 6mmx22mm and all four the same. You could order some with the hex cap head on eBay cheaply enough if you wanted to, but perhaps the ones you have are biting enough. Thanks for watching!
Non-ethanol is a good choice for these older bikes, especially those that don't get ridden frequently (which tends to be case with most vintage bikes). Unfortunately, Non-ethanol fuels cannot be purchased easily in CA. 100% of gas stations are ethanol blend in all grades. Only option is to buy specific racing fuel (last I heard $9/gallon) in small cans and few outlets to buy.
