      Does the left control (turn signals etc) work fine? If so, what would you need to have for it?
      XS11SH :: K&N Pods, 4->1, Dynojet kit, Barnett clutch springs, TC's fuse block, ATGATT

      Well, goodness. Look what we've got here.

                              Flasher unit has been replaced with aftermarket - not sure if it works, does not have the correct 'plug' for a stock wire harness.

                              Carbs are already sold.

                                  I have a working 'special' tach and idiot light cluster. Also have a 80/81 set of square gauges that work but the rubber surrounds are a little worn out.

                                  Not sure how many miles.

                                  Seat is already sold.

                                  Engine appears good, but it came to me with the cams and cam cover missing and all the head bolts removed. I popped the head and it looks ok inside, nothing bent, burnt, or holed. Couldn't say if it would run or not. I'd let it go cheap if your interested....

                                      How much for the clips that hold the kick starter crank? The one under the battery, and the one with the wing nut on the right side?
                                      Thanks, CZ

                                                  The one on the right side looks like its held on with a screw, I do not have the wing nut.

                                                  The one on the left side looks like it may be welded on the frame? I can't get a good look at it, any idea if it comes off with a bolt or screw? suppose I can hack up the frame but not sure thats going to do you any good.

                                                  Assuming it comes off you can have both for 5 bucks plus shipping

                                                      Stator cover is ok, some medium deep scratches near the bottom, probably would come out if you attacked it with the goal of polishing it. Certainly good enough to experiment with a 'clear' cover if that is your goal. I'll pm you with price.

                                                          The one on the left side looks like it may be welded on the frame? I can't get a good look at it, any idea if it comes off with a bolt or screw? suppose I can hack up the frame but not sure thats going to do you any good.

                                                          Assuming it comes off you can have both for 5 bucks plus shipping
                                                          Thanks, if the right side has the odd shaped metal cup, and the left side has the flat spring clip that fits the foot pedal, that's a deal. The one under the battery box is held on by the battery box bolt, I think.
                                                          I live in Zip 80223, to figure shipping. Thanks, CZ
