Big goofy rocker box bolts rubbed a hole in the tank, the bolt is moist with fuel so Ill have to repair the tank which I can see leading to a repaint then leading to fenders being painted.....

That or bubblegum and grind the bolt down to clear it for now.

I wouldn't mind the H2 there either!

Does the pogo seat compress down much when you're on it? I dont want to feel like Im riding a camel.

I prefer a 4 to 5 inches of travel and it has 3 springs and heady duty is available so getting what you like is just a matter of adjusting the pogo

anyone with a pogo on an original piece will tell you its the best riding of any seat -

and the first bike was one of mine I sold a few years back and it was a 1966 - before I sold it I tracked the original owner who built it and he came sat in a chair for an hour and just looked at it - thanked me and left

a penny for his thoughts but he did not share them

When you try your speedo w/ a drill, make sure the drill is in reverse, if not, you stand the chance of stripping the nylon gears inside.

Used to be an old black guy in KC with a white bike all lighted out like that, always wondered how the genny dealt with the load.
