    Randakk sells the shelter hinges, bushings and even a tether kit. There are always at least ten tool trays for sale on eBay any given day. https://randakks.com/collections/reproduction

    Hondaline multi function chronometer

    It has multiple functions. it's a clock, stopwatch, calender,counter, and most importantly an hour meter "like a boat or farm equipment may have instead of an odometer. It's meant to be installed on an aspencade's fairing or on top of the shelter. If it doesn't sell on eBay I'm going to make...

Even though i still cant get her to run steady " due to terrible carbs that will be rebuilt next Sunday" the compression is already showing signs of improvement! I think I may be ok. A quick thank you to Riff Raff for helping me out with plans for fitting a...

    Engine overhaul?

    Ok, thanks for explaining that. Yes the #4 plug is completely soaked in oil. it may not be firing "but it has spark out when tested out of the cylinder" i cant keep her running long enough to listen for a missing cylinder. I don't hear any knocking though. It would be awesome if its a top end...
