    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    I got the tune up finished up and went for a buzz and got caught in the rain, sure was glad I had a fairing. She's running AWESOME, I still need to sync the carbs, but she runs better than ever now!! Had a break in the rain so I started the mock up of the solo tour pack. I have the rear...

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    THE BAG BRACKETS ARE DONE!!! Made the brackets and welded them on...there is virtually no movement of the mounts now and everything works as intended...yeah!! Done for the day, I think I'll ride tomorrow.

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    I finished the design for the new tabs for the retrofit of the bag mounts. I will get the steel in the morning and get them made tomorrow, that's the plan anyhow. I finished mock up on the trunk in its intended position. I have to add a tab for the front mounting hoop to bolt to. The front...

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    I got the correct brackets for the Vetter bags today (Thanks Marks78) and they won't fit with the 4 into 4's and I don't have the heart to cut them up and make them fit with the exhaust, there just to hard to find and GW brackets are everywhere. So I've decided to cut up the GW brackets and...

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    Went out for a ride between the rain drops today...VERY comfy feet placement now and everything operates flawlessly, I'm likin it. I really need to change the handlebars out for something higher, my hands are just to low. I've already done extended clutch and throttle cables in preparation and...

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    I got busy today and worked on the floorboards, did some cleaning and fab work. I need to make a new brake shaft pivot adapter or find the correct Triple A piece, which I think is impossible to find! My first attempt had the fulcrum point in the wrong place and I don't think I need the factory...

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    I got my Triple A floorboards today and just HAD to put them on and check them out. I think I can make them operate tomorrow...we'll see. I got the lowers for a SOHC with the fairing and they wouldn't work with forward controls...well they won't work with floorboards either. I do have a...

    SCORE!!!!!

    The Vetter saddlebag brackets for Mable are REALLY HARD to find, and I just scored a set for the price of shipping!!! The only thing is that I'm not willing to loose the 4 into 4 exhaust, that according to the Vetter instructions for my year needs to be changed to a 4 into 2 system, so we'll...

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    In my quest to make Mable a decent long distance driver some things were added today...a waterproof USB charging port and voltage gauge. These old SOHC's are known for having HORRIBLE charging systems that barely keep up with the demands of just the bike, let alone any accessories. I'm...

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    Today I got my Ipod to work on the old Clarion in the cycle sound and I have to say that its sounds pretty good for what it is. I also layed a bunch of pavers to keep her out of the water and from sinking in the mud, we flooded in the heavy rains that we had last week...she's all good now.

    Mable...A SOHC Bagger

    Got the fairing stripped from the CL find and mounted the windshield on Mable with some new vents that I found on ebay for $23.00. You can see the crack from the middle mounting screw hole, I drilled the top to see if it will stop it, if it doesn't I guess I'll have to buy a new one. Both of...

    I'm a devout CL looker, I've found some great stuff at good prices there. So I'm cruising and I find a Windjammer fairing and a set of saddlebags with a trunk and all the mounts off a 1980 GL1100 with the lowers, a radio kit, and 2 rider backrests for FREE...with all the keys!!!! Only thing...
