I hate going over to Moto Content some times to ask for help.. 

We should plan a Garage Day to offer help if needed..  It sounded fun to me..  I know we had one back in Oregon and it was a blast..

Here is my latest Mod.. Thanks too Skinners 2 cents.. Smiley chug

I've got basic hand tools, electrical tools, an engineering degree, and a decent knowledge of two-valvers.  I'm glad to help any who are willing to help themselves.

2 cents worth.....wish I could see the picture at work.

I'm an ASE certified master automotive technician (no bs). I've had 2 different 4 valve duc engines apart as far as adjusting the valves. I know Kung fu sledgehammer style, I can duct tape win the best of them, and I have an expansive knowledge of zip tie usage. If we do such a garage day or whatever I'll be glad to break whatever I can and pray I can get it back together and working. (or just help out and learn/teach what I can)

Can I recommend if you want to do a garage/class get together, we ask Doug aka volksrod (he does work for Steve @ Moto authority) to do it with us. He tried one of these & it all but fell on deaf ears.  He's a cool guy, rides well & is up to date (very important) on most models.

Or, if you feel adventurous, leave your bike with scottish, ratfink & myself, go up, grab a drink, aaaaand we'll let you know when your "mods " are done.

Cloner raises hand.  I need to fit the starter lever to the Aermacchi, then redesign the footpeg brackets and weld on some new ones.  You volunteerin' to assist?  I need to finish the wiring harness, too, but I haven't yet selected a headlight or location for said light, either.  I also need to move the fairing back 12 or 18 mm to clear the fork tubes better and maybe build a new steering stop bracket.  Wanna look at it some night?
