              Thickness of a matchbook cover works on almost all points ever made for cars, bikes, light trucks, off road vehicles, etc.

                      matchbook covers

                      Are great cuz they also have a nice sanding surface to scratch up those points that needed the crud knocked off. It is weird how that stuff works out huh?

                          Any chance there is a wiring diagram floating around? I just acquired a 1976 XS500 that's only problems are a lack of working head/tail lights and a slight propensity to mark its territory.
