    Show me your wires!

    Thanks for the pix! In not using things like blinkers and a few other items, it should make for a cleaner and thinner harness. I bought the replacement coils from Mikes and the colors don't match originals. Things like that make a rookie nervous. Pics of Condenser wire and points cam wire...

    Anybody used the HF ultra sonic cleaner?

    Actually works pretty well with all the screws, bolts and smallish parts. Mines the small one, about 6"x 3"x 4". The fluid is pretty spendy and it get dirty quick. There are lots of do it yourself recipes all over. I paid 20.00 for mine and have used it multiple times.

    Second build, first build thread, no turning back

    That's hilarious! I went absolutely nuts the first time I tried to take one out without removing back tire. Wound up buying another on EBay after the ensuing carnage.
