I will describe from memory of 35 years ago. I would expect that something would be amiss in this description. The horn was mounted to a bracket that was...

Carl has made the most sense so far. Ask your mate where she would prefer to spend her days. Her answer should be your choice, if you are a wise man. All other...
... Memory fails me, but the bracket consisted of a number (4?) strips of sprung steel. I never figured out why but guessed it had something to do with...

Would 64/32/357&358 Bing carbs work OK on my 90/5 project? Anybody see any problems that I might not see? They are off of a 94 R bike. I have researched the...
The Bings will work fine - you may have some minor jetting to look to but I doubt that will amount to much. The oil cooler is a much bigger deal - the later...

... The reason for the oil cooler is I am sitting the bike up to pull a trailer with the bike loaded. From what I read the oil can get pretty hot with a...
There was a oil cooler that replaces the dipstick back in the day.? I have one on my R75/5.? It is a hollow tube filled with a fluid that has a finned head to...
