Lucky him!!

It's black, has 2 wheels, 2 seats, 2 antennas, a windshield and trunk rack, but I see only one flag. Nice looking though, bet you will be happy and so will Miss Sally. Now what you going to do with the 85?

There should be or was a push connector down the handlebars, seems you found the location but somebody needed the connector gone. Careful when you delve into the electric works of the MC, there are small parts in there that would like to go missing. Get a bedsheet to to work over.

Once you have the cylinder off of the bike there is a cover underneath that I think has 1 screw, remove that to access the soldered connections.

If memory serves me correct there is a connector about 6-8 inches from the cylinder.

Thanks Earl,, nicely said.

Glad to have you aboard. For better braking consider stainless braided lines, makes a world of difference, available from @skydoc_17on this site.

I think it's missing something, can you show the other side?

Nice to hear from you Mama, and hoping that you and your first husband continue to get along fine on two wheels.

I use Sunlight dish detergent, and on very odd occasion might have to use a little orange. Hands don't dry out nearly so much. Better I think.

Choke plunger(s) stuck in the enrichment position?

It happens, not to all of them but it is common. Tap the side of the carb while the pump is running and it might solve the problem, if not take off the feed tube and push some carb cleaner into it, let it sit for a bit and try again with the pump. If that don't do it, it may be time for a carb rebuild.

Nice piece, hoping it works well for you.

Gave those pills to my neighbour, now he sees things in a whole lot different light and even likes me sometimes.

Just be four warned, Reiny is twice the size of Joe, and he don't go slow!

Now don't you be thinkin that meeting @ReinyRoosterwill be fun. Around here we are glad to see him go on a trip,,,,, and maybe wishing we were going with him.

It's real name is Road Sofa. Once you the hang of the weight issue then you'll understand why.

Yah, you best not snotter on all that new paint.

Know what your saying, it's all in the foot work.

Not only interesting rebuild, also good vid to watch. Carry on Mcduff.

Yep. I was trying to find a picture for you, but didn't come up with one. It won't take a whole lot of effort to open it up.

I believe that I think I might maybe have an explanation for you. At least I think I do. There are a number of different that wires are held in place by this sort of holder. If you take your peter-pointer finger and bring it together to the tip of your thumb you'll form an oblong circle/hole. That is kind of what that holder looks like. When first done at the factory the tips are very close together and can be thought to be one piece, but they are made to be pried apart so that the wires can be removed and then re-inserted later.

You are soooo right!! seeing as I would not expect to have it for long, it would soon go the way of a 10m socket.

I'm guessing that it is mostly in the doghouse then eh?
