Hey, Poprock! I PM'd you. Did it not go through? I was wondering if there is a specific reason for having an XJ head on your bike.

Sure is. It was available, less than 20 K on it. jugs available to match, and except for the YICS pipe, the same as the SG head. Original head had a stripped plug hole, the threaded insert wouldn't stay in place and aluminum chips had burnt a valve. We put in new rings, installed the XJ jugs and head, and went merrily on our way...until a cam sprocket shed it's bolts. But that is another story.

Just finished replacing the crankshaft seal and was a PITA. Now on to the valves, timing, and re-synch.

lots!
Nice morning ride with SWMBO and son as we took Great Ranger and Little Ranger out for breakfast. Highlight was watching a Dad in a HD shirt park by and eyeball our bikes a bit on his way in
Spent midday finishing up carbs on Rising Sun. One diaphragm with pinholes of light. I had liquid rubber on it and back on thebike.
I drained all gas from tank and think Im gonna take it from yellow to dark green next weekend.
Afternoon, SWMBO and I rode downtown for a movie, then tooled around some neighborhoods and breweries slowly home.
A great bike day.

That sounds like a very nice day, JW. All I did to mine was ride it to a meeting. When I got home the lock fell off the top box.

Spent all day yesterday trying to get the 80G to run...finally found the blown fuse(should have been the first place I looked) on the ignition circuit and got her started, now to finish cleaning the carbs.Ty

Installed a new headlight.
old Sylvania H6024 Halogen
New Autopal Euro crystal diamond housing and ultra blue (hyper white) bulb
got it from http://rimiusa.com/ Model: HL-102 MSR
after shipping about $26 total
Will buy a Sylvania Silverstar bulb to put in the trunk for just-in-case purposes. I don't trust the cheap bulb it came with.

Well, I just finished the pick coil wire fix and changed all fluids. Now, all I have to do to the "G" is get the rear brake to work, wash, and ride.1979 XS110F, Stock

Changed the oil and filter, checked and topped off the middle and final drives, and ordered a new set of tires. Cords showing on the E3 on the rear.

Don't know why the wouldn't have just continue the same colors through into the fairing...Originally posted by Joab View PostI hope you don't put as many holes in your garage wall messing with it as I did to mineNathan

BTDT, Nate. Only 6 of the nine actually go anywhere unless you have electrical accessories in the fairing. My colors didn't continue either. I had to change both sides of the plug because the holders had cracked off and the pigtail would disconnect about 2 times a mile. I hope it all works for you.1980 XS 11 Special: The King of Kong, 9th wonder of the world.
