Jim, Buddy...you might want to seek help.
AFTER the bike is finished, of course...
AFTER the bike is finished, of course...
Yeah..... maybe a couple more bikes.... then I'll check myself in somewhere...AFTER the bike is finished....
I'd like to, but it's too far gone for restoration. It's gonna be the basis for my Triumph Speed Twin tribute bike.
Kinda along the lines of this....

Hi Fred,Hi Jim,
ooh, nice! And easy to do. Convert the frame to a hardtail, give it an Amaranth Red paint job, bolt on a Lycett saddle and she's done.
Adding a parcel rack and Triumph-style striped side badges to an XS650 Standard tank will give a look that's close enough.
Gonna use an XS650 front disk for reasonable stopping power or an earlier XS650 front drum that'll at least work better than the stock
Triumph front drum ever did?
And even if you do find one of the Triumph Sprung Hubs which were an option on that bike do NOT use it on a bike you want to ride.
Besides killing at least one mechanic who tried dismantling one without using the proper dis-assembly jig those things were deadly on the road.
From an engineering view, a wad of dried up bubble gum on the bolt threads would sufficeIf those resistances were 350 Ohms then that would be about right depending on the meters characteristics. I have a deviation question for you - Are stainless Aerotight nuts suitable for securing the brace to the back brake hub?
Thank you for you view from the Aero Industry.
Yeah, you're right. Got my wires crossed there didn't I....You don't need a "shunt" type regulator, that's a PMA thing and one of their weak points.
I'm guessin that you don't mind changing brushes either then...Please don't drink the PMA kool-aid. It's very expensive and for the most part, tastes like shit
