I picked up the glycerin trick from my dad with old Volkswagen stuff. I used a toothbrush and work it in the rubber and let it sit for a couple of hours to soak in and then wipe off the excess. My tank knee pads were hard and some light checking, now they are allot softer but still have the checking. The engine case was bead blasted and then I masked off the cylinder and painted the lower half with rustolium high heat engine paint. The color was dull aluminum.

You might want to index the shift arm about one spline clockwise where the shaft comes out of the left sidecover. For best shifting, the shift rod should be perpendicular to the arm. Adjust the shift pedal position to wherever it's most comfortable for your riding position, but it's also advantageous to try to have the line from the center of the lever pivot to the to the rod attaching point also perpendicular to the rod. This will provide the best leverage for upshifting and downshifting. Regards, Chase

Hi,

Nice bike. what kind of sprocket combination do you use ?
Is it the picture, or is the rear sprocket really so small ?
