    Need shift spring (star wheel)

    Pulled the clutch cover for polishing, noticed one of the small springs was broken. The one end snapped off. Can i rehook it? Or will the extra tension mess it up? If so, does anyone have one? Where can i get one? I told the buyer it was ready, im just detailing it till he buys it

    Ever use circuit breakers?

    Flipping this bike for a little cash. It has a 15amp and 2 20 amp breakers. The guy i got it from (rip) baught it this way. It has no electrical issues, i never had to wait for one to reset. The amp rating is high, as they should be 10’s and one 20, but if it ain’t broke dont fix it?

    De-lambed brake shoes

    So im getting ready to sell a 1980, and noticed the rear brake doesn’t work. I took it apart and one shoe is completely apart, the other is half off. Ive been riding around the hood tuning the carbs. Glad i had a set of new shoes waiting ready to go. Gave me a chance to grease up the pivots.
