Very well done! Two questions:

1) Did you make your own tinted windscreen?

2) Where did you find those badges on the Krausers? I like how they dress up the 'bags'.

Thanks for that bit of background history.

A very nice story..

Very impressive!

Probably should have sold the new one, LOL. It's not going to last 30 years! It would be interesting to find out, Generac makes some pretty good stuff. If I had use for a snowblower it would likely outlast ME. :lol: 100_0891.JPG 100_0892.JPG The Yooper Tourist Trap is a very fun place to visit. I a...

Truly a win-win situation. Good Karma all around. Congrats and Happy New Year from the desert southwest.

They look serious.

Nice.

That bike seems to be in great shape. I wish you well with sale. If it was closer, and I didn't already have 2 76's I would snap it up in a heartbeat.

BTW: Is it road ready, ie could a buyer ride it home vs needing a trailer?

I've been watching for one of those kits for a while. After all the effort to get down there and look I can't tell where the level is even after wiping inside and out..

Both of my '76 US models do.

It's good that you're not letting the weather get you down. I have rides scheduled for Sunday and Monday.

Thank you. And same to you.

I am trying to avoid all of the snow and salt that they use on the roads up here in Indiana.

I don't blame you.

Yep I learned that from reading about others mistakes, That's why I was planning on the thin stuff they use to wrap pallets of boxes with. I will look into seeing if a hair drier will tighten it up after installation.

Please let us know how that works out.

Good advice here. I might add that anything you could do right now to help preserve it while continuing it's sleep would be wise. Remove the battery, and follow winterizing guidelines offered elsewhere on this site.

Thanks, Scott....

Maybe you have already thought of it, but I would try every way possible to get penetrating oil to all 360 degrees of each set of rings. Simply filling each cylinder may or may not accomplish that if the oil can find a way to leak down. (Maybe I'm wrong here.) My thought would be to fabricate an ext...

I've begun lately to pay more attention to how I release the throttle after setting the cruise. It seems to help if I get to the desired speed then hold the throttle steady while I set the cruise. Then I CONTINUE to hold the throttle steady for a second or two before releasing. This also seems to le...

Welcome to the Assylum from the Desert South West.

And thanks for the resource. Good luck in your venture.

Glad to be able to help. ✌

Glad it worked out for you. Simple, cheap 'fix' and lesson learned.

My speedo did the same thing. I googled the problem and one of the responses was the fact(?) that the noise is most commonly a result of a brass bearing or bushing right where the cable connects to the guage wanting some TLC. They recommended disconnecting the cable, removing the speedo, turning it ...

Best wishes to all and your families.
