    I will get the package in order some time next week..in between whatever projects hit the shop. I took today just to do the caliper and work the last few things out on my skunk project. I am gonna take some pics of it tomorrow after i get the side covers done and on the bike. I put in a 12 1/2hr day and even went and did my first repo on a truck for a guy. Had a pretty interesting day!!

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Sounds like it was Chuck.Watching yours with interest.Whenever you can is fine by me.Done way more than I expected already.Just have to say thank you again.
      Was looking at the rear shocks after reading a article someone posted from a classics site.They are OEM.Have the damping adjusters under the rubber boot things.Anyway to rebuild them? Be to cool to keep what must be one of the first adjustable damper shocks on this bike.

                  Original mounts are just sheet metal that forks though the headlight bolts.Plan on doing something better with this one but had no problems with the one I had before.
                  Edit.Actual answer is I don't know.

                      Got some wok to do.Got to remember this is my winter project.Want to dig in right now.Think I just disassemble it and enjoy Old Yeller then get on it in the fall.
                      That Martek and Dyna are not related. I had one in my GS750B along with a header made by R.C. Engineering. The Martek worked quite well. It's waterproof and nearly indestructible. The only drawback was that it wasn't very tunable other than static advance.

                        That is kind of what I thought in the limited research I did.As long as it works I'm happy

                          If I remember correctly, slotted disks appeared in the 1980 model year.

                            I'm interested in that fairing. Not sure if I'm "the right person" though . Shoot me a PM with some photos and the price plz if you're interested. Thx

                              They have a embossed ones for more $.Thinking I'd like the cleaner look though.Might get one for Old Yeller to.Anybody dealt with these guys?
