I've already cut the tabs down an additional two inches and just need to weld a bolt onto the tab. Initially I had a nut welded on, but with the shorter length of the tab, I need to go with the bolt instead. There is a previous repair to the fairing right where the right side turn signal...

For me... too many people make a big deal out of the yellow bikes. I'll have mine in red please. Oh... I'd paint that one also!

That's some of the work I still need to do... shorten the stems. I want to get them tucked in a little better.

In addition to sanding the fairing, I also started the process of converting a set of turn signals that were never designed to be mounted to a Windjammer to be mounted. It required cutting the stems off of a GoldWing rear tail light housing and welding on a nut. These still need some work and...

Today I was Danielson learning from Mr. Miyagi... sand the fairing, sand the fairing, sand the fairing. Dammit! I'miss still not done.

41 years is a long time to build up a few layers. I started sanding a little just to see what I could find. It looks like the original color was silver, then blue, and then the maroon. If I was going with the original graphics, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out where they go. DA...

Floorboards are a love them/hate them item... Personally I love them and cannot see me owning a bike without them. Yours cleaned up nice!

Welcome to VOG from the other side of the pond!

That rear lower cross piece is only going to tie the rear of the brackets together. The tilt of the bags is controlled by the forward mounting point. When I made my brackets for my 1200 GoldWing, I had to play around with several different configurations before I had the right position that...

Looks good with a set of bags on there... Which brackets are installed in these pictures? If anything, the bags appear to be tilted a bit too much.

And to make it even more harder to understand, the bundle is even taped together, but it still looks like a birds nest! :mad:

Last night it was down to the wire... :D I hate that when I open that left side tonneau cover I always see a birds nest of wires. On my WJ IV, I have added to the mess with the horn wiring, an auxiliary fuesbox, and several extra wires going to toggle switches for auxiliary lights, a rotary...

Those two vendors have been in my favorites for a long time. Everything I've needed I've been able to find everything on this side of the pond except for one part fort my 1200 standard. For that I had to go to CMSNL.

Well, if you want to pay for the postage, I'm sure I have a lock somewhere. I just need to find it. Keep looking for a cheaper option, but the offer is there if you want it.

This weekend I had to work on a few things everyone that gets these old fairing deals with... Swiss Cheese. Holes, holes, and more holes. As I documented in my Vetter Rooster Fairing repair thread, Black ABS Cement works wonders. In this case, I couldn't reinforce the holes, so I backed...

Wow! I just looked to see what it would cost to mail something to Sweden... $33.95 appears to be the cheapest method. That is crazy!

When it'starts 25 degrees in the garage, you have to do what has to be done. :D

When I bought my '81 GL1100 in 2010 it looked (for the most part) like this: I say "for the most part" because it did not come with the saddlebags... those were the first thing I bought and put on soon after buying the bike. In addition to the bags, I also gave the bike a new paint job and...

I got my wheel/tire yesterday... I've been sick for the last week, so I missed out on some good 50's to 60's riding weather in January. I hope to get the wheel on tomorrow and then I can let the good times roll!
