by Bob (no login)

i narrowed the end of the shaft a bit to fit the arm.

and was having some that were a tad tight.how's about a pic?

I couldn't get the little keeper thingy in there (the part that keeps it from spinning). I'll hack on the arm a little and see what I can do

a CH thick - can't get the bent tab in there that keeps it from spinning. The pedal end goes in fine by itself, but when I put the metal tab thingy in it's just a CH tight.

engine numbers would be good

by (Login wmvining)

now that i think about it, the '79 GS1000 i had was electric start only too, so it very well could be a 77/78

I myself can't decifer an engine number, but i'm sure the guys at www.gsresources.com can

And if this other guy doesn't follow up on the gs750 i have here, i may just have a starter for ya. Guess it wouldn't matter too much if i sold it, as it is electric and kick start

Yepper!!!!!! Gettin back here was another story though

by (Login wmvining)

Let's see, i left you guys around 11-11:30 my time, and got back here around 8:30-9pm

1st ~ got back into Indy and caught the 2 twisters that decided to pass through

Spent 2 hours at a truckstop waiting for the cops to reopen 65 north

Just get back on the highway, spit yet another rear trans seal

Get that fixed, hit the highway again, get about 20 miles south of Gary, Indiana and shoot a rear tire. Get out in the downpour and start changing it only to break 3 lugs........limped the truck into Gary and got some new lugs, then tip-toed home with a helly vibration that i still haven't found yet

BUT.....other than that.......did ride the Virago for a coupla hours last night

Glad ya made it safe.....and it was great meetin ya

Have fun and keep me posted onhowthe frame comes along and on them forward controls....them things KICK ASS!!

The storms themselves didn't bother me.......for 16 years i worked in weather like that so it wasn't a big deal.

The flat and 2 trans seals is what killed me.......then of course the spare was too damn wide for the sides of the flatbed, so i hadta 86 one of the boards

But all in all it was a well deserved trip......fun too
