I fit an '80 and '83 into my Element by loosening the handlebars and rotating them downward

$125.00 plus shipping - I can check shipping cost on Monday Dave

Thanks Fred.......... I thought, (hoped), I had enough "leg" to fool the latch so to speak. Now it's time for Curly's charging guide !

I'm very close to wrapping up an '80G I picked up. PO had removed some parts including the wire harness prior to selling it to me. Put harness back on bike, some parts missing, so I don't have the light checker and bypassed reserve lighting unit - L/Y to L/B Everything electrical now...

I would check your valve tappet clearances.

I'm using a Corbin-Gentry seat that I think will work out well. I see that you're also in Rochester. I'll send you a PM. If you'd like to see what that seat would look like on your bike, we can get together.

Thanks for the update........ Always good form to let us "students" know the outcome to help us learn

^^^ "the pod guys" :laugh:...........wasn't there a horror movie involving pods?

How cool was that !!! Yer a movie star......... I saw some 2 strokes, but couldn't name them for sure.......also some Triumphs and Hondas. I'll bet you look exactly the same now as then:D

Exhaust from '83..........some surface rust, but solid Let me know if you're interested

Happy belated birthday........Wednesday was mine as well............... Tax day----Anniversary of Titanic sinking and Lincolns assassination Careful with that rock climbing, you might break a hip. got you by a year, but I don't remember 1973-1975 so maybe they don't count Here's to a good year

Leebo...............Pov76 is a member on this site who makes seats

Thanks Leo...........flashers iffy, actually it's a connection. I shifted the harness a bit and they came on. For the price, I think I'll pick up a flasher anyway and eliminate that worry. Now, on to the loose connections.................

Thanks for the report and photo.......beautiful bike ! (you may be an addict)

Thanks guys................I knew I'd seen those diagrams before and went off searching microfiches. I'm lucky so far---The harness is looking fairly neat and the only thing not working is the flasher unit. Need to check the charging circuit, and the carbs need some love. Thanks again-
