I managed to crack my 1977 right side cover. I think something was holding it up from seating squarely and I torqued it too much. Bah. I have a 1980 parts bike. Are they the same? Thanks.
Definitely following this. I am still noodling around with wanting some sort of mid mounts, but lighter and tricker than stock. using the stock exhaust brackets seems the way to go, but then I need the pipes to be under them, tucked under the bike.
This may be a bit of a flier, but I have a set of Old School Speed rearsets, new in the box. I am not getting any younger during the duration of this project, and I decided I'd like to do mids, preferably Old School Speed as well. Anyone want to trade?
Otherwise, I'll sell the rears for $200...
At the risk of reviving an old thread and a post by a retired member, I have read that having any current drawing item on (like the tail light in this diagram) will make it harder to start. Thoughts?
Glad to see a tiny little NM action on here. Man, I just noticed that the above post was a year and a half ago and I've made close to zero progress since then. This winter is going to be it! (maybe).
It was a little too trashed to be worth resto'ing, so I am losing some weight and cleaning it up, but nothing radical. Lowest priority project, but at least it's indoors now.
