    Thank you 5twins for the advice and teaching us how to get these bikes back on the road. Now I need to get one of those little bent screw drivers.

    Tuning

    Hey guys/gals, Doing a little investigation today on my newly running engine. I am experiencing a little popping only on the right side. I put the timing light on my new PMA and have that sorted and I adjusted the idle. So a little background before the question. Overhauled top end, new...

    Clutch Issue

    Issue resolved. Thanks for all the comments and articles. I did exactly what you said and all is well now. Purchased some 3-in-1 oil and dripped it until it came out the bottom, then packed the worm drive with some grease. Smooth as silk now. -Brent

    Short handle bars on a Special clutch cable rerouting ideas.

    Ok...will adjust as I had my cable going between my carb filters and not over. 1st gear clutch in ... I should be able to roll this bike around the garage right. I suspect my clutch is not disengaging. Last step in the build so I'm a little anxious. Thank you all for the responses.

Basically I engage the clutch lever and then it stays there and doesn't spring back. I replaced the rod to the single one that got rid of the 2 parts plus a...

    Finshed My Tank

    Took a while to get to this point, but got my tank mounted up today and it's all finished up. Started this process with bondo over the emblem mounts and general fix of dents. Followed by several coats of etching primer and hi-build primer. Many hours of sanding, followed by a paint booth...

    Headlight

    Picked up a 5-pin headlight relay at advance auto parts and wired it up. Worked like a charm the first time. For those that are interested in using a hi/lo switch, here is the hookup: pin 85 - ground pin 30 - power 12v + pin 86 - trigger - wire output of hi/lo switch to this pin pin 87 -...
