But this time make sure the new owner promises to take better care of it. LOL.

Haha! I hope they do. My buddy pays for everything, so I can't say much, but he could certainly take better care of things.

Re: Refixing an 1100….
Have I mentioned I do not care for header wrap before?
Even wet this one wasn’t that much fun.
At least it is on…
Made the little strap out of parts left over from the gauge…now I know it will work, I will get a longer top bolt and flip the nut to the backside.

Re: Refixing an 1100….
Been working a little on getting the new gauge wired up….so far, everything seems to work. Happy the fuel gauge works, we shall see how the rest of it works.
She is starting to look like a bike again…
Picked up a fork brace from the place we never used to talk about…
Still a ways to go on her, but she is getting closer to running.

Nice bike, the gauge is looking real good as well with that mount.

Thanks! She is certainly a work in progress, much like all of them in my shed.

Re: Refixing an 1100….
Got a little bit done on this girl…new LED headlight with new chrome ring mounted. Also got the signals working with a new flasher unit. Also got the rear fender mounted, and tail light mocked up. The 4 into 1 pipe is pretty darn quiet.

That seat is off of a Triumph Speed triple...it still needs to get cut up to fit the tank junction.
