Hi,

After some time looking for the right moment, and after suffering several week-ends with bad weather, I finally finished fixing my bike, it boots-up (geeky talk for starts) fine, and all is good.

There’s a valve making some noise at high revs and with the engine pushing, but that’s for next winter.

But still waiting for good weather on Sunday, last two snowed.

Great sites to buy Honda parts from where I got bolts and some missing rubber items.

Cresceentmooncycles.com -> rubber
Ronayers.com -> rubber
m-and-d.com -> bolts

let’s see how this next weekend goes,

great service, great value,
the belts got here today,
will use rockauto whenever possible

Part of the negotiation on having the bike is that I can’t take girls in the back for a ride….sorry 

Just ordered the following

• Gasket a 061A1-MB9-S01, from servicehonda @ $88
• Fan switch 37760-MB9-000, from servicehonda @ $58
• Thermostat unit 19300-611-005, from servicehonda @ $19
• Timing belts (x2), gates T274 from rockauto.com @ $16 each

Will disassemble cylinder heads and timing belt housing next week end,

It’s an old GL1100 ’81 that needs some repair to be optimal,

stay tuned for the repair chronicles,
