broke down the front caliper and bead blasted it. they sure come apart hard after 40 years and sitting outside for years!

stupid me. lost the inner detent ball in the left hand control,and conical horn spring,plus the starter button fell apart in my hand. i can't spend $100 on repros...

Are you using the stock controls? I could send you parts. PM me.

took these bars off mt cb750,i think they are triumph bonny 750 special bars. they were too narrow for the honda clamps,and i wanted taller bars,so a 2" height,2" width extension slug was welded in and blended. bars will be black to match the goldwing.

Just checked in.
Great progress. Everything is looking great.

Where did you get the extension slug?

i took a 3/4' tube and cut it 5" long. slit it lengthwise like a rollpin. insert it in a 2" section of 7/8" handlebar cut off an old set. you have a slug. when welding,chamfer the edges to be joined,leave 1/16" space,this makes the penetration full.

I did similar to lengthen the ends of my bars. I had a machine shop make me them.

theres no need. use some old 7/8" bars.a pipe cutter makes a good square cut.

i've been trying to find time for the wing.first 2 pics are plates that bolt to forklegs.it will be a forkbrace and fender mount.last 2 pics are the headlight mount,where i drilled a hole,pressed in an automotive freeze plug,and brazed it in.this makes a recessed hole for the allen bolts that screw into the headlight.

So I was done without a welder. My boss on 3rd shift told me I can use the one at work if I come in early.so...heres a fork brace I made for my '77 wing. It won't slip between the fork legs with both loops welded on,so the rear is bolted in.brace/fender mounted has 1/8" clearance to fender per side. Fiberglass fender has grommets in it so it slides in perfect,taking up the 1/8".

Fender test fit...it worked!line at bottom of fender is where I cut it level.
