Some guys have used a nickel coin for replacement. Just be careful with the glue there is an air duct up there.

Not ABS but without changing the entire front end the single best method for improving the front and rear brakes is stainless steel brake lines. A huge improvement over rubber lines.

If it ain't broke why fix it??? Lol! Seriously, what makes you think it needs replacing.

Slightly smaller, but more ah an cca.

Just recommending the correct size. There are many good quality AGM batteries that fit that will meet your CCA requirements. Ride safe.

That particular battery is physically smaller than original. You need a YTX24HL. I have no knowledge of that brand.

Well if I had known I would have offered you a cup of coffee. I live 3 blocks from Maxey's. Glad you made it through your ordeal.

My vote is on the JBM diaphram. Just did the same on my1500. Quality product. Do you really want to have to pull the carbs again if the patch doesn' t work. And odds are it won't considering it is in the place where the most movement is. How many glues are really gas "proof"?

Ditto to all previous posts. I have been pulling a trailer since 1983 with a gl1100. I have pulled a trailer with my Gl1000 for many k miles. Now with the Gl1500 I figure I have trailered for at least 50 k combined miles. Never had a problem towing. I did have a fender break loos from it's mount onc...

I use Duck Duck go on Firefox and had no issues whatsoever. That's odd. My library reader software uses DDGo as there primary search engine (looking up word definitions English and foreign words) and I have to switch to a secondary search engine at least 25 percent of the time because DDGo can't fi...

Oh my! I think my wife Karen and I are at the point that we have to put the bike out to pasture.....However we are going to do one last extended ride. We have been three directions across the USA. All except the Northeast. We are are going to plan an extended trip all the way from OKlahoma to as far...

That sounds like a lot. I have never noticed any appreciable amount of oil usage between oil changes on my 76. I have owned it for 13 years and 50k miles. Never had to add oil.

Same here. Very funny.

Not sure I understand what any of this means. Can you clarify this? (Since it was broken and jb welded it broke again at the jb weld removing the pin, anyways I am not reattaching it, I put the pin back in and float correctly and somehow it barely barely, moves, but only from side to side motions wh...

Sounds like blank ad space where the ads on the site aren't showing up. Do you have an ad blocker?

Also possible to install the lever and miss the hole..guide pin hole that is.

Before you buy take it apart and clean the contacts.

Tire howl when leaning is usually generated by a cupped rear tire. Dunlops are notorious for this. Your front tire doesn't look cupped. What does the rear tire look like?

If memory serves me the 1100 has factory front marker lights with dual filament bulbs.

I just noticed you are in LV. What was the air temp while testing? If air temps are near 100 your engine temp is exactly where mine runs in those temps.

Not necessarily. Pump may just not be getting the normal amount of fuel causing the pump ticking to be audible. It is always ticking you just can't hear it. No tick no work. This is just one possibility for the audible ticking.

I broke a belt on my 76. Two bent exhaust valves. No piston damage.

Nice build.

Ticking fuel pump is not an indication that the pump is failing. The electrical contacts inside are doing what they are supposed to do. In most cases when the sound gets loud enough to hear it usually means it is starving for fuel. Possible clogged fuel filter, fuel line or some kind of restriction ...

Ditto on what Bellboy said.
Your bike has an alternator with built in regulator. It is located down by you left foot peg. Easy to rebuild yourself. If you do, also I suggest you replace the rubber dampers while you are in there.

Did you check and set the float adjustment? They have to be adjusted to the exact correct level. Close doesn't count with these carbs. There is also a possibility that the float valves are bad and leaking.
