Debatable............but U expected that from me...........saw that and somehow knew and was waiting........wait for it........wait for it ......yep, there it came.........

So that is 1 against how many others?........

Looks pretty good!

FYI, that grease zerk in the first pic is worthless. only way to really get the grease where it needs to be is to remove the final drive and smear it on by hand.

WMarshy, challenge excepted



This is my bike being hoisted aboard my first vessel sailing on my USCG liscense. Launched in 1983, the USNS Contender served the United States for many years and is continuing service as an Academy Training Vessel for Texas A&M maritime. This former sonar array tower took part in many notable events such as the search and rescue of EgyptAir flight 990 crash (under the US Merchant Marine Academy colors as T/V Kings Pointer) and later she was actually used a film set in the movie The Royal Tenebaums.

In this photo, you can see the T/V Kings Pointer (USNS Contender) hoisting my 1980 XS1100G aboard using the stores crane for a slow trip down the east coast from Kings Point, NY to a shipyard in Jacksonville, FL. After her shipyard stay, she was send back to NY for her final voyage before being transferred to Texas A&M Maritime.

Thanks, I am thinking about doing something a little different with the exhaust. Wanna try to fit up a more sport bike style muffler and heat wrap the headers with either tan or black heat wrap. My buddy had an exhaust tip that sounded super mean. I wanna try to find that one or something similar. Powder coat the fenders rims and fork tubes. Then polish the aluminum covers and maybe paint the fins and valve cover and do the sanding on the edges. Went thru all the pics and am trying to take my favorite things from them all and incorporate them into one bike I found a guy who does really cheap powder coating. I think like I could get all the bar controls, and the rest I stated earlier for around 2-3 bones. I think he even does frames for $50. Won't go that far until I see some of his work first tho

She is gonna be my super sport bike for zippin around town with buddies. Need a tourer tho. Might keep the 81H for that.
