I have no turn signals on the bike, no horn. I use a push button on my solenoid to start. I ride it all the time I use my hand signals, I liked a strip down no frills all business bike. I did add a tachometer to it though, makes adjusting my carb a lot easier

What do you do if a car pulls out in front of you or nearly pulls a lane change on you? Can't you fit a horn button near your foot or can you yell really loud? ;-)

I love looking at all the nice bikes on here, I just use/abuse mine so much I could never keep it as nice as the bikes on this site... But not for lack of trying

This has to be something simple and stupid caused by me because she ran great until I started thus project 2 days ago... Any suggestions


Where on your ignition coil did you one that the new wire from gray side??????
