SHE LIVESSSSSS!!!!!!

[KellieLyyne]

Oh thanks for that advice LM, I will definitely do that ASAP! Last thing I want is to mess this bike up. It's been fun riding her around. I get lots of thumbs ups and smiles. I think my hubby did a great job. My headlight quit working today, I think I just might break down and buy one of the replaceable bulb housings from Charlies place and get it over with. Has anyone used those yet? We have a spare burned out bulb and I thought we might try to make one of our own, but if that doesn't work, I will probably opt to buy one. Oh, and I read in Bill Silvers book about replacing the springs in the clutch is ones from a CB, and to use thinner clutch plates. Has anyone tried this? If so what were your results?

charlies headlites are very good. I've bought two and will probably buy more. get a spare bulb from them while you are at it as you cannot just go down to your FLAPS and pick one up.

After riding the Dream around a bit it is very clear that my speedo is WAY off mark when it comes to speed accuracy. Anyone have any advice in the department? I was cruising down a road where the speed limit is 50, and I was following the flow of traffic so I must have been going around 55 (or close to it) and the speedo registered 80 or more. Ideas anyone?

Lube the cable with white grease.
Check for grease on the drive at the wheel. ............lm

Nice looking! Iam about a 1/4 way on the rebuild of mine. White also......so sexy! Where did you get the seat and hardware? Which tires did you use? J.

I was fortunate enough to find a seat at Apex, but from what I understand, he is no longer selling them. There is a website that sells some that are pretty similar, I will post the link to it. About the hardware used, I am very fortunate to have a hubby that is a jack of all trades. He is a commercial plumber by trade but is very skilled in welding. So he constructed the hardware from scratch. However, I seen hardware sold on ebay that is pretty similar to what he put together.

Now for the tires I used, they are Kendas 671, and I used portawalls from Universal Tire to achieve the whitewall look. Good luck with your resto.
