I have a 1987 GL1200 Aspencade that has four carbs in dire need of cleaning.

I've shopped around, sat on several motorcycles, studied specs, talked
with others, read reviews and have finally decided to go with the
Yamaha TW200, mainly because it fits me the best and the 196cc SOHC 4-

I have a 1971 Honda 350.  It had a bad tank and I had it resealed on
the inside.  All of the sealer ran off the walls of the tank and is
