I'm in. Same bike, after some modifications

Hi, do you know where I can find the valve adjuster wrench right above the pliars in the picture of the original tool kit?

Folks, this problem is driving me nuts. I can put the bike on the stand and wind it up to redline, no problem, I can put it on the side stand and wind it up, no problem. I can wind it up going down the road, no problem. The problem I have is when I am in 5th gear at about 3200 RPM, I get...

Ok, great, thanks for the info Leo. I'll just have to keep a better eye on the battery fluid level. Be safe out there. Rourk

At idle, its about 12.5 - 13 volts. It peaked out at around 15 volts at 3000. I hadn't checked fhe fluid level in a while so maybe it just evaporated. I know its putting out voltage but that doesn't mean its regulating it. Now that the battery is full of fluid and fully charged, the regulator...

I have a related question. My charging system with this mod puts out 14.5 - 15 volts. How do I know if the voltage regulator is actually regulating the voltage once the battery is charged? The reason I ask is because I checked my battery the other day and the fluid levels were quite low. Is...

A new set of rims would be great.

All i did was put the bike in gear and step on the brake. I used the same technique to put it back on, torqueing it to spec.

Hi everyone. I am looking for an emissions decal which goes inside the left side cover on a 1979 2F. Anybody know where I might find one? Thanks, Rourko

I used a spare swingarm clamped in a vice to true up the wheel. I re-laced the rim by removing 2 spokes at a time, inserting the new spoke and working my way around the rim. I tapped on the spokes with a screwdriver while tightening the spokes. This sounds pretty crude but it worked great for...

Thanks, thats great news.

Ok, great information. So if I want to replace the entire clutch on my 79 with one from an 83 do I need any extra washers?

Also, the brake light switch is different. I had to swap the brake pedal pivot shaft and add a bracket to hold the spring. I welded on a spare pivot shaft lock washer flattened out. It worked out great, i just had to figure out the right geometry before welding. Also, you need a spacer to...
