... Done That! I took the black rubber ring off the gauge. Then very very carefully pryed the crimped lip of the face from the underside. I used a jewelers...
Main jets are 120 which is already larger than the stock 110's. Needles are already in the richest groove. I thought about going larger on the main jets so I...
You must have some patience! I ended up cracking my glass trying to get it loose! Gotta go to the glass shop now and get a piece cut, but this a supposed to be...

Dan, You are correct, they are interchangeable between the models you listed. Maybe even more will fit but I'm not sure which. Do you need the entire petcock,...

There is a spring clip that ratchets on the plastic knob. You can see the detents on the under side of the knob. It's been awhile since I had mine apart so I...
Yeah I looked at the parts diagram.... was there another bike that had a similar damper system? My knob doesn't look exactly like the one in the part diagram,...
