We're getting ready to hit the road after a great day in Port Dover. We're all Harleyed out

Another Friday the 13th in Port Dover. My black '78 won't idle without stalling so I rode the new '80 1100. I rode down to Brantford with Jay, on his Yamaha dual sport, and met my brother on my ex '82 1100 and his friend Tim on his Suzuki brat. My daughters drove down with Steve's kids and met us there.

The seat was removed so I could Photoshop a new tail on the 1100. The tank doesn't come up between the frame rails nearly as much as on a 1000, so the seat can be lower. I tried to incorporate the stock tail light into the new tail but it just too huge; it messes with the flow

The pin has been welded back onto the side cover with my soldering iron with the custom tip and welding rod made from a piece of ABS drain pipe

This 1100 had a broken side cover pin like my '82. The PO said he had to re-glue it every year. After I took possession I noticed he had also whittled the pin down so it wouldn't offer as much resistance when the side cover was pulled off. Time for a definitive solution like last time: ABS welding

This is the bike to date. There is a nice sweep to the headers and mufflers. I need to figure out the bars
