I wish yo would get the response you need but for one, there aren't very many antique owners here on the forum and you posted in the new members section where you won't receive too much tech help. Look on the internet for a place called "Wheels Thru Time" owner Dale Walksler. It is a motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley S.C. Dale is a friend of mine who really knows his stuff. He may be able to help you.
