Hey guys. Could someone let me know the OD of the spanner style lock nuts on the top of the triple tree? I have a '75 if it matters. I'd like to fab up a pair of wrenches while I'm at work so I can repack the bearings and tighten the front end up this weekend. Search was not my friend trying...

I'm looking for a couple parts to button up the '75 I picked up a couple weeks ago and I am in need of an entire rear brake linkage. At least the pedal, pivot shaft, and the splined links that attach to both the shaft as well as the drum itself. Since the swingarm has been extended I will be...

Thanks xjwmx. I was pretty sure it was time to buy one and I appreciate the confirmation. I'll be picking up a maintenance free battery this week.

Okay so I picked up my new project bike ('75 that had been sitting 5-6 years) a couple weeks ago and I've been sorting it out bit by bit. I put off buying anything including a new battery until I could go through the carbs and fix the hack job wiring. When I picked up the bike I was told that...

Thanks Leo! It's great to confirmation that I can troubleshoot spark without needing to worry about the charging system and safety switches etc at the same time. The how-to for the coils was above, beyond and much appreciated. Rain starts tomorrow so this may be my last night to take a look...

Thanks again for all the suggestions and info on the . I spent a little more time on the wiring harness today. Repaired some broken connections and did my best to track down some mysteries but I figure I might as well ask the experts! (everyone knows the internet is full of em :thumbsup:) I...

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions guys. I spent a little while looking over the electrical system and it is all manners of buggered. I saw at least 6 crimp connectors that had pulled out, loose wires everywhere, electrical tape wrapped around everything... I hate electrical with a...

Mouser, yes I have a multi-tester so after I get my net batch of brew in the fermenter I'm going to sit down with a wiring diagram and manual to start going over all of the electrical. I also just realized that the throttle that is on the bike is a dual pull cable setup but the carbs I have...

Haha, yeah I'm going to take a more thorough look at the charging system this weekend. I'm still a little fuzzy on all of the specifics of the bike because it's... well... it has personality. Though I think I remember seeing a 447 by the head tube last night which would make it a 74-75 right?

Well I picked up an XS650 bobber project on Wednesday and figured I might as well say hey since I'm going to be here a while! She's a little bit of a hack job and missing a few parts but for the price (a thank you) it's in pretty decent shape! :bike: All it looks like I need is a rear...
