You just wish you had one too! ;)

As for the springs, I've never been hard up enough to think about cutting them off!  I just wrap a rag around the clutch, clamp it in a vise and get some good needle nose vise-grips clamped about as hard as I can on the end.  I keep a small flat screwdriver near by to help pry the hook up if it's caught too.

I still have my back fender!  I want to shorten it up to above the reflector though.  I need it to keep the spray down as I don't have the inner fender after putting the larger tires on. ;)

  How is it running w/ the new parts? I think a new thread for the carb would be a good idea, as it may get lost in here, and I too have cut the fender leaving just enough for the Lisc. plate. Thought about cutting it flush but the plate would be there anyway.

..>>>!!!DON'T RUN JUST 3 ROLLERS!!!<<<...

..i tried thay happy crappy, and it's what damaged my variator...

..i think the idea is mixing different weight sets of 6....


..seems like 3 of them would work harder than the other 3...
