    Need bobber turn signal switch - what can I use?

    I'm wiring up my handle bar and wondering what to use for a signal switch on a 1" bar. I can't find much for toggle switches. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. What have you guys used on your rides?

    Bobber build - air hose question

    Engine and carbs are in. I’m going with K&N style air filters. I’m guessing the two larger hoses coming off the engine are air hoses to the original air boxes? Do I just remove them and cap off the ports?

    Random frame question - hollow or solid? - see pic

    I'm installing Hugh's CDI system on my bobber and want to mount the regulator on the bottom cross member of the frame. See picture. Is this hollow or solid? I want to drill and tap so I can bolt it in place. If it's solid I'll look for another place.

    Hugh's CDI system wiring - dumb points question

    I'm hooking up the new CDI complete kit from HHB. It's a 78 Special with kickstart only. I'm not great with electrical stuff...

    Front wheel not spinning

    As soon as I tighten the castle nut even a little, the wheel stops spinning freely. Now I'm not even sure if this set up is even right. I took the hub from a 19" wheel and laced it to a 21" rim. The spacer thing on the disc side (see arrow) remains still when the wheel turns. I pulled this off...

    I'm swapping the old ball bearing ones for new tapered ones. Does anything need to come out other than the ball bearings? Are those bearing grooves molded into the frame? Do they come out? Thanks.
