    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well I just buttoned up the bike after a long 2 days of wrenching. Fixed the spark issues and rode her, but quickly found out I need a clutch. I think I might hear a knock but not sure yet. I will put her in the shop for clutch and check up this weekend. So for the mean time I figured a spray can job would suffice til I know she's good which then I'll break out the binks. Oh my, what a can of worms. It would of been easier to just d.a. it and shoot it. I know better now. Anyhow here's a look see;
 
Conmgratulations on getting it running.

Replacing clutch plates will not be too terrribly challenging project.

Picture didnt look like too bad of paint. I would rather see a somewhat fadded stock paint than a repainted bike.
 
Wow, a cafe fairing on a "L".

Kind of like chopsticks on a poodle.

Do the clutch yourself, the shop will just fvck it up. It probably just needs springs anyway.
The shop won't tell you that.
What are you painting? It looks pretty sharp, should rub out just fine?

Aww, gee Mr. Kahuna. Don't shoot her. It seems like she's just now starting to feel better! I would also strongly urge you to do all the work yourself. Unless you can find a mom-and-pop shop or a place with some old greasy geezer who likes working on these old bike, you won't want a kid mechanic working on a bike that's older than he is. It's a recipe for disaster, well, at least a recipe for inconvenience. But, depending on the shop, I have heard a few stories of successful repair by the "professionals" who work in bike shops.

Your bike looks nice and it sounds like you're really getting a handle on working on your bike yourself. Don't stop now, it's just starting to get fun! \\:D/

Please let us know if you need help and keep us informed.

Thank you for your indulgence,
