Carb removal

Anyone any tips on how to remove the carbs from the bike?

I'm taking mine off of my 1980 GL1100, and I'm struggling to get the right hand side of the carbs past the coolent pipe lump that sits under the carb body. There's no wriggle room to go up and the bottom of the carb body keeps hitting the lump.

Any ideas/tips, short of splitting the carbs in two?

Should this go somewhere?

I'm in the process of removing the carbs from my 1980 GL1100 and found, tucked up out of the way, this black plastic pipe attached to the circled block at one end and a screw tight in the other end.

Should the screw end be connected to something or can it be left alone?

A previous owner has obviously fiddled with it at some point.

Rear Shocks

One more for the UK Wing owners.

I've had my 1980 GL1100 for about 2 years, and since I first got it the red light warning about the rear shock malfunction has been on every time I ride with the lights on.

The rear shocks lose air over about a week, if I top up the pressure.

Looking through the Haynes manual, it says that any fault on the rear shocks, aside from seals, oil etc, should be dealt with by a main dealer as they are not readily fixable by the home mechanic.

Having spoken to a Honda Goldwing dealership before, they've said that they don't do much, if any, work on older wings anymore.

So my question is... is there any recommendations for somewhere that would/could fix this, or should I just replace the rear shocks with a standard, non air, set?

I know replacing them with new/2nd hand original ones will be problematic, as they're next to impossible to get hold of.

Weapons

What weapons do people normally run with on the old console version?

What do you guys think of as the best weapons to have?

I normally, at the start, make as many arrows as I can to bump up my weapon building skill, then run with bow and iron reinforced club with pistol as soon as I find one.

I ditch the pistol as soon as I can get the MP5, and when I can make them, go for the crossbow & spiked club. And that's what I normally stick with.

Don't normally bother with the sledgehammer or any other firearms except maybe using the sniper rifle if I go into the central city.

Is there something that is op that I'm missing or just stick with what I'm used to?

Carburetor manifold

Hi guys, stupid question probably but which manifold is the front hand side when sitting on the bike?

Mine has a crack in it, and looking online i can get an 'A' or 'B' and I don't want to get the wrong one.

Anybody got a good seed for the Xbox one version of the game?

I know they're all based off of the name you put in when you start a new map, but the last dozen or so new games I've started have always dumped me in the snow biome to start with, no matter what name I give it, and it's getting tiresome.
