If your talking about reassembling the motor then Pete Roper has done an illustrated write-up you'll find very helpful. It was done originally on the...
Morning all, I hope you all survived the attack of the little demons last night. O.k, the number I had chosen was 68, becouse of my 1968 V700! Joe Jump was...
You might consider using the adapters and V65 petcocks available from Moto International. Cost works out to about the same as the "sugar cube" ones, but they...
Hi Charlie, I'm here...just been busy with real work, updates to my website, and then getting my zinc plating operation all set up. Robert and I have been...
On my V700, each petcock has three possible positions, and only one of them is OFF. The possible positions are port (left as sitting on bike), straight...
I have been following the thread on leaky petcocks. A few messages back, someone referred to a petcock design which included a thin, teflon ring as part of...
Wahoo! You know, I figured you would use the year of manufacture of your bike for one of the numbers. But I had to guess which bike. Took a chance it was the...
I assume you are running an acid Zn bath. The brighteners are proprietary, but acid Zn has been out a long, long time so you might try your google skills. One...
Old thread I know. J&P Cycles handles the cop windshields for the Harley's of the same time period. From the look, these should bolt right up to the LAPD...
Alright here is newbie question 1. When bolting the generator on, how do you suggest lining up the pullies as the generator can slide in the bracket. I was...
Hi All, Wondered if there is someone out there that still might rebuild old shocks... Got mine to a shock specialist and the guy couldn't even unscrew the...
Hi Ross, Sounds like you know a lot more about this than I do :> I went with a zinc alkaline electroplating bath for a couple of reasons (1) I wasn't about to...
Hey Greg, I am no expert on plating, only knowing enough to be dangerous and so I could complain when castings were screwed up (I'm a foundry metalurgist,...
Ken, Answer #1) It's simpler than that. There should be a pin protruding from the generator that indexes into a hole on top of the engine's timing cover...
Joe, Absolutely what I was looking for thanks. I didn't see the pin because I got this bike with the gen. sitting in the bracket and my garage doesn't have the...
... It better not. There should be a screw head on the bottom/front to serve as a locating dowel. There should be a small hole in the forward yoke of the...
Dear Mr. Mullendore, Where do I send the beer :-) I was killing myself, not reading the manual correctly, seeing what I expected to see, I didn't see the hex...
THANKS ALL. The oil looked ok but a little thin. I tried to sniff for gas but who knows? The whole garage smelled like that for weeks. I have a BMW /2 (1969)...
Dude, there's a reason nobody rebuilds them. It's a HUGE PITA. First you have to have the tool to get the spring off, then you have to make a special tool to...
Greg, the zinc work looks great. Why did you do the generator cover though? Is that the color you are going to leave it or is it a base for paint.? Can't...
I recently restored leaky fuel tank petcocks for a Falcone rider. When one buys replacement petcocks, they come complete with a long, thin plastic mesh filter...
