My 12 yr old son just tore down his future 81 GL1100 standard and is going to do some custom work on it and I would like to show off what he is doing.

My 12 yr old son just tore down his future 81 GL1100 standard and is going to do some custom work on it and I would like to show off what he is doing. Is this the forum or should I start a thread on another forum?

Moved this to the correct forum. Tell your son good luck with the project

[Roady]

He's going to learn a lot, and so will you. It will be a rewarding journey for both of you.

Now you can change the subject line. Just edit the first post to do that.

Ok we are home from vacation for a few days so I can update where he is at.

Being the star wars expert he is, if he signs up on the site i might suggest this avatar for him:

He said he got signed and his user name is Anakin, go figure.

Sunnbobb, I got it changed. I'll post here updates with my build. The avatar picture was a bit big so I scaled it down.

Good job Anakin . That's telling Sunbobb how to do it. I did a similar thing with my grandson a few years ago on an 1100. They are great bikes. Make sure you replace the timing belts before running that engine as these are interference engines and if one of those old belts breaks then its destroyed valves and maybe pistons and rods as well. Not a good scenario. New belts are cheap insurance.

To see my grandson's 1100 build click the 1100 build thread link in my signature.

PS I hope you bagged and tagged all your parts and bolts as you took the bike apart. It sure makes reassembling it a lot easier if you did.

Anakin, I'm impressed. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to see your end result!

This will be an interesting thread to watch.

Sure looks like a great bike to build, nice actually that it was not dressed yet based on the missing headlight it had been a fairing bike?

[sunnbobb]

Good to see you here!!!
