I take the bike to work as often as I can. I did a trip down to NJ.
I've put about 3000-4000 miles on it since the rebuild started.

Well Sly Dog Jeff 77, So here I am 3 years after your last reply and the owner of a 1981 Gl 1100 standard that has spent most if not all of its life outside. I got motivated to do something with it after reading all your posts. Got lots of work ahead of me so I best get started. Thanks for the inspiration.

Slydog, how did they fix the non-blinking turn signal.

I have exact same bike. Remove my fairing. Headlight works great but i can't have my turn signal to blink.

I'm going crazy
