Wingedwheel

The advance weights are under the cover opposite the points. If that bike sat for a while it’s very possible they need a good cleaning...

A light smear of silicone grease inside the boots helps slip the carbs in and I also think it helps with the seal.

Did we ever find the air leak?

There’s a good chance the flasher issue is the flasher unit itself. Easy and very inexpensive to replace.

I had to do something similar and wrapped the tank with shrink wrap and a rubber band around the neck. Made me feel better.

Genuine parts aren’t always a bargain but if the chinesium rubber ones fall apart in a short time figure those factory seals lasted 47...

Nominate my XS2.2. Second total rework of the frame. It doesn’t have a @Jim paint job but maybe I can squeak in without one…

Notice how we all talk like all the old people did when we were kids? Who’s your Dr, what meds do you take, how many times we get up to...

I hope you guys have a great time. I have to go to Canada and help set up for the new to be DIL’s wedding shower today. Thought I would...

The two areas where it hits the backbone will need to be worked on and you can see the old plugs. It was pretty easy to cut the frame.

That bike didn’t make the calendar. When I finished it most of the guys had moved on from the bobber stage. I believe at that time IIRC...

It had to be drawn in to accommodate the narrower 72 frame. I have the tubes which your welder should be able to figure out no problem...

I would be tempted if I didn’t have to be in Canada this weekend.

Like Marty said, I wasn’t annoyed, just sometimes if I take the time to look into what I may have some questions about it makes it...

Mine was from Monstercraftsman. I bought it before I realized the frame difference between the 70-73 to 74 up. (Mine is a ‘72) when it...

There are several threads on here about refurbing your tank. Some use metal rescue others just grocery store white vinegar. As long as...

It is a beautiful bike but before you do that type of mod ask yourself a few questions. How tall are you? I installed pretty much the...

That would also make sense as to why I have had a bike that I could leave the petcock on and never spill a drop while another bike would...

A few years back I went to check out a CB that had been under a tarp for years. Next to it was a GL much like yours but in much more...

When I teach riding classes we advise against those type as basically you have a boot with a tennis shoe bottom. They may be comfortable...

Do you have the proper rear tire spacers? Is the wheel centered in the swingarm?

More MI beaches. Oscoda beach which is very clean sand and a few miles to the south is Tawas Point. There’s several minerals which color...

IIRC I believe motion pro makes custom cables.

Why are you hiding your weld behind that shift lever?:poke: Lol

None taken…….Flyboy…..😂

Could be #6 or #2 in this diagram. Here’s the part #’s

Continuing our Great Lakes Tour we are staying at a national park near Oscoda. It is in the Huron National Forest. Most of the trees in...

I looked and they are different. I guess they were priced low to clear out but they do have the 1.5 inlet

I actually posted the wrong link. I have the 1.5 inlet that 5T posted. I bought them specifically for that reason. I’ll have to go back...
