    If I were going to buy one of the 2 you posted Larry, it would be the Bolton just for the fact that it has a 3/4 hp motor vice a 1/2 hp on the Grizzly. I agree with looking for a decent used one, anything built these days are cheap and just dont seem to hold up....

    If money is not an option, I would try the Russel Day Long. Every person I have talked to that have used one love them, Corbin is a crap shoot, some love them, some dont.

    If you have a vacuum bleeder, you can suck it dry, take a lint free cloth and clean the bowl out and refill it. Then go to the bleed port and suck the clean brake fluid through and whala, your all good to go......but a turkey baster with a small tip would work.

    It's good to hear you got out on the bike today, how did it feel now that you had a good nights rest?

    Personally I would go the route of rebuilding the master and replacing the slave cylinders. I actually did that earlier this year on the '86 I own, as well as a complete clutch rebuild with new friction discs and steel plates. It's great piece of mind knowing that it's taken care of and you wont have to worry about it again.

    My bet would be possibly the master cylinder if you completely bled the system last year. If your going to keep the bike, and you dont want to screw with it again. Buy a new clutch slave cylinder and rebuild the master cylinder and your problems, will more than likely, will be gone for many years....

    The G2's are somewhat notorious for loosing the coils to the rear cylinders. I remember in '07 in Ft. Collins at the International Rally Stardbog lost one of his coils and he still rode it around for the rally till the replacement coil came in. I still laugh thinking about when his bike would backfire going through the canyons

    It was great having you here JP, I'm glad the bike left better than it arrived. We'll get together again and work on some of the other issues, enjoy riding it

    Chris, Some things to think about here... Have you changed out the plug caps, wires and plugs recently, or at all since you have owned the bike? Sometimes the TCI's will be intermittent, there are fixes for the circuit board in the TCI. If you haven't done a tune up since you owned the bike, I would absolutely put one on it. Thats the very 1st thing I do unless I see a receipt that it had been done very recently to me purchasing it. This will be one less thing to have to worry about in troubleshooting a spark issue...

    Yammer, If your seriously wanting them, go ahead and take them. I was just thinking a bit ahead as I will convert the exhaust on this '83 once I get it into my garage....no worries my friend.

    You wont have issues if you cover the side panels, they actually made chrome covers just for more bling. Lots of different ways you can cover them, but you wont hurt the engine.

    Nice job on it, I have one here that needs revamping, and I want to learn how to use it a lot better too. I was thinking of the same thing as far as putting it on a trailer and having it mobile, have fun with your new creation
