Done The Hard Way. Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Kind of a big feller. You really don't get the magnitude of this GL1000 engine until you see it out of the frame. It doesn't help that it is pictured with a huge pile of junk behind it). The vertically opposed 4 cylinder design makes this engine very wide and flat. The engine and transmission measures approximatly:. Monday, January 9, 2012. Days Three and Four. I got the rest of the front end tore down. Front brake lines and calipers, which I noticed we...

Done The Hard Way. Thursday, April 26, 2012. She's coming home tomorrow! I just heard back from ToughCoat and I can pick up my frame in the morning. This is going to be a real eye catching frame for sure. The plastics have big shoes to fill to fit on this bike now. Here is the process:. And a close up. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow after I get it home. Monday, April 16, 2012. T minus 10 days. Mother Honda couldn't be out done by the Kawasaki Mean Streak. Wednesday, April 4, 2012.

Done The Hard Way. Monday, October 22, 2012. MSF Basic Riders Course. I finally completed the Motorcycle Safety Foundations Basic Riders Course. I had tried and failed many times to get the scheduled course work with my schedule. Now that I've crossed that off my bucket list here is my synopsis of the course. Where are they located? How are they operated? One big part of the MSF course is emphasizing the use of proper riding gear. DOT or Snell approved helmets, proper fitting eye protection if the he...

Done The Hard Way. Sunday, April 28, 2013. How to fix a rough running carburetor- the easy way! This is my very simple guide to repairing rough running carburetors on old Gold Wings. This four carb pack can seem like a nightmare but it can be fixed to run like a champ in 2 simple steps. Step 1. Make sure that you don't have an electrical problem. I also found that one of the yellow wires from the stator to the rectifier had arced out and melted the wire. From what I've read arching happens when there...

Done The Hard Way. Sunday, May 27, 2012. If you ever walked down the automotive isle in Walmart and come across the Mothers Power Ball and then have the question pop into your head, "Should I buy this? The answer is YES! It is a drill mounted heavy duty sponge that buffs like crazy. What if you don't have any thing to buff you ask? Buy one anyway. You'll find something and when you do.

Goldwing Adventures: September 2012
http://ryansgoldwings.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Done The Hard Way. Saturday, September 29, 2012. Here is a picture from today's ride. I had a heck of a time getting it running today. It takes is some time to warm up. I thought that I'd top off the tank with some Chevron 91 and a splash of Sea Foam to see if it didn't smooth out the carbs some. If I can get the low end to match the top she'll be a fast machine. I'll try and get some video up soon. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Next step. Fix brakes and Horn so I can legally put her on the road.

Done The Hard Way. Saturday, March 16, 2013. What Crash Bars Are Suppose To Look Like. Here is the long awaited follow up from the last post. My beautiful wife found a set of Hondaline crash bars and gave them to me for Christmas. They are quite difficult to find as I mentioned before. After seeing all the other ugly crash bars it is easy to see why these are hard to find. I had to stretch her legs a little so I went for the first ride of the season. It ended up being a very short ride. There is ...So th...
