Yep. the left sided mirror with RH threads work for both sides.

Would this set of M10 x 1.25 RH work if both mirror screws are right handed thread? https://www.ebay.com/itm/323849177866?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=hrhVwDCdT1G&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=vaEy7_p1RAS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks guys. I loosened it. Only issue is my new brake lever has normal direction thread. Lol. Maybe I can find a new stem? Or just buy new mirrors 😵

Dang! I’ll try that, thanks!

Any idea how I can loosen up this right side mirror stem? It’s seized by many years’ worth of brake fluid corrosion. Already tried a few days spraying PB blaster.

Thanks!

Alright. I'll make a checklist of things to do. Throttle freeplay is ruled out, it has free play and returns easily when released - Air leak check - Exhaust leak is minimal now, I tightened the clamps and the rings are on the way - Should I just buy two cone mufflers and attach them to the...

Any clues in the videos? Would not-ideal jets cause something this severe, or more likely stuck butterfly valve?

The previous owner had these foam inserts in the pod filters. I've heard of issues with these filters having too much airflow, and people adding a restricting hole inside to lower that. I'll try adding them back in. I gotta get a pair of the OEM carb clamps too. So I did some more tinkering and...

Yeah, and I'm trying my best to fix them! Not the butterfly shaft seals. I kept that assembly as is, the only things I replaced were gaskets (not seals, sorry) and the jets. They are closing and opening without any scraping or issues. Does it sound like the issue is more likely a carb or an...

No worries about the clanging - that was the license plate holder I forgot was hanging under the body. No problem there 2. Got to order a timing light; in the meantime can I do anything to verify the cylinder is running? Both pipes get hot.

Video 1: Here you can first hear the high idle, which was twitchy. As I pull out it settles into a nice low idle. Video 2: Now this was after I stopped to turn around and pulled in the clutch. RPMs went crazy and only lowered to 2-3k when I got back into first and came back. I turned off the...

I took my 78 for its first voyage down the street and back. The idle RPM was around 1.5k, and I haven't yet adjusted with the vacuum gauge but it just arrived so I may do that today. I've also just rebuilt them with new seals and jets, and bench adjusted using two identical small screwdrivers to...

bumping this as I have a similar issue.
