                  Thanks for the replys. Yes, Tires are on the list for this week, not sure on the fork brace yet.

                  Ken: That PEA gravel was a lot of work. We went around to farmers rock piles during hunting season and brought a few home each time. Reason was grass would not grow under the thing.

                      Yes, center stand had to be removed. I kept it though and put in on with a couple of bolts when working on the bike. Not really a big deal. Sure do like the sound of the Kerker. I did notice a flat spot in the mid range though. Get the revs up and it goes like h**l

                        Any reason in particular you took the kick starter lever off? Or was it never on?

                              I did not get a kickstarter with the bike. May be in the market for one if someone has one in good shape. I have on on the 78 engine I have but it is a little rusty.
