Hey Mike,
not yet, but I will once I get the dam thing removed Lol...I will then figure out if I can repair it, if not Ebay it is Mike. I really won't have a choice at that point. No way I want to get crazy re $$$

Thks Rambozo,
LOL, so I saw a used one for $800+ US and another $160+ for shipping definitely need to be careful not to damage it and I will have a professional welder do the repair. I will be working on it again this Saturday, hopefully will be able to remove it.

Thanks Mike, the bike came to me with it broken and it appeared to had a unsuccessful weld repair done. I have no clue how it broke off the way it did??.. Ok, well it looks like I'm going to be loosening one of the exhaust manifolds to get this chamber off. I have never removed or loosed one before🙉...

Hey Mike, thanks for your comments. I have loosen it off where both exhaust manifolds meet the chamber but just won't come off. I was trying not to remove either of the manifolds if possible.

With regards to repairs.. the piece actually is in very good condition with only surface rust. welding a...

Thanks for your reply! I've done both WD40 and a tourch loosen it up.... It's loose, just can't seem to get it off... I'm using a rubber mallet hitting one side the the other.. it moves but will not fall off

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well. I'm moving along nicely on my project, but I've run into a snag... the left rear exhaust pipe is broken where it meets the connector from the manifolds to the exhaust pipes. I've heated it up and loosen it but cannot remove it? Don't want to damage anything, so f...

Thank you and by the way, I have seen serval of your video's on YouTube. Super informative

Understood, thank you!

Hi everyone, I hope the Christmas holidays have been good...
My question is:
do I put a bit of oil on the new rubber qaskets, put nothing, or put something else to help seal
The gaskets?

Thank you in advance

Understood and thank you. So those two badges will be getting WD-40 asap and removed off the bike.

Thank you for your quick reply! That's what I thought, but I do not understand why the previous owner would put two "Fuel injection" decals on a bike that has a carburetor

Hi everyone, So everything I've read and all the videos I've seen basically state that there is no 1997 fuel injection GL1500. I'm not sure if the previous owner thought it was a good idea to put fuel injection on it?? it does seem to look original and I'm not sure what a fuel injection glodwing eng...
