Rebuilt the petcocks, changed the brushes on the starter & greased her up (nice & quiet), re-jetted the carbs with 137.5 Main Jets, and 45 Pilots, glued the side cover back together, and tapped my handlebar mount plate to hold my switch plate for driving lights/headlight cut-off switch.

Still to
cold and nasty to get out in the shed to do anything productive.
I have moved a majority of the XS parts out there with the last of my RD engines set to go out there once I add a shelf to set them on.
Glad it's more productive where you're at. It'll be another 3 weeks before temps are nice enough to do anything here and then it'll be to hot shortly there after.79 SF & 80 LG MNS

Hah! I just checked your weather Gmac. That's our t-shirt weather in Michigan after our Winter!!! But, no way in hell was I working in the cold. I dismantled those parts and took them to the shop. Nice big shop with anything, and everything at my disposal.Last edited by IanDMacDonald; 02-23-2015, 04:56 AM.1979 XS1100F

Funny that you say that
Because I actually was outside in that stuff, wearing the obligatory shorts and a tee shirt as I shuffled firewood inside for the wood stove as I trudged back and forth through the snow.
