I want to refinish my chainguard. I have some paint left over from the gas tank and side covers. That way I save money. I want to know if painted chain guards hold up to the rigors of riding or should I have the chain guard enameled or powdercoated. The bike is not being restored to factory new.

The switch was bad, so I changed it. It works fine. I just have to book the spring up.

i will rebuild it first. thank you

I cannot get the rear brake switch to activate my brake light. I've crossed the wires and the light works, so I think I need to replace the switch. I've tried adjusting it, but that didn't work.

Here are pictures of my sidecovers. I need the emblems that fit them. I think this is the part #447 21784. Emblems from 1970-75 should work.

I've done the following; installed new plugs/wires, ignition coils, battery, fuses and had the carbs cleaned. My bike will start one day but not the next. What else should I investigate?

Here is the original grab rail from my project. It has a crack in the right turn signal bracket and no hardware that the turn signals use. If anyone can use this piece, I am selling it for $20.00, including shipping.

Here is my engine guard installed. I could not resist showing off my custom forged knife/adjustable wrench also.

Thank you to everyone for the advice. I know engine guards are not for eveyone. The guard on my Triumph saved her from extensive damage when I dropped her. They are worth the investment IMO.

Here is the engine guard I bought off E B. There were no instructons. Has anyone installed this type on their bikes?

I pack my Cruz Tools Metric Roadside mechanic set. I strap my combination Bowie knife/12" adjustable wrench to my belt, slide my .380 into it's holster and suit up in my regular kit. I make sure my cell phone is charged daily and I keep some spare $$$ along with a credit card and keys around my...

this is a complete new brake set up. I removed the mc and piston and pumped the piston by hand to get the fluid moving. Now all I have to do is remove the brake piston and clean it up.

I will try your method,thank you.
