Its County Fair time and my "motorcycle shop" half of the garage gets converted to a chicken pen so I haven't been able to work on anything. Should be back on it after the weekend.

What year? Or doesn't it matter- may need for an '82...

Actually I'm trying to fix the valve seat issues y'all have been advising me on. Thought about some upgrades but don't want to wait on Mike's.
