Honda powered or not, it runs and is fun to drive. After all is said and done, that's what counts!

Anyone know if there is a headlight lens that fits/works in our headlight bucket?

Hey RickS, have you received any of my personal messages? My message "outbox" doesn't show/register the ones I've tried sending.

I may still try contacting my friend with a lathe and get his opinion on shaving down some threads without damaging the cap while "chucking it up" tho. I like that idea. 
Ended up that there wasn't a check ball inside...Just a piece of wire some how trapped inside. Oh well, it's out anyways.

It's a good stainless steel. File barely touches it. I tried. O-ring works fine.

That's a good idea using a lathe. I don't have one but, I know someone who does. Otherwise, I may just do the ol' belt sander with my reading glasses on. LOL.

I suppose but, more trouble than it's worth IMO and, I don't want to take a chance messing up anything on the gas tank. Another option would be shave/grind off some of the threads from the bottom of the cap also. It has plenty. (Too many actually) I need to open up the breather hole on the bottom of it also. There's a small check ball inside, that could prevent the draw of fuel.

Only issue I have with my new nickel plated cap is, it won't screw down all the way to seal with the gasket(leather) I will look for a gas resistant thick rubber O-ring instead. The Servi gas tanks aren't threaded far enough down for it. (1/8")
Did yours thread all the way down on your tank Kartjockey?

I just invested in one of those myself at that price. Great find! Thanks for sharing.

He has an amazing sense of balance. I've seen him casually walk the seat spring up onto the handlebar, over the headlight and walk the front fender to jump to the ground, all without the bike moving an inch.

Instead of storing the bike in storage stall for winter, I once again parked it indoors. I thougt about doing do a couple things to it over the winter. On the list is the possibility of converting the headlight over to 12V with internal wiring, polishing or nickel plating the trim ring, tapping the valve cover breather tube into intake manifold, etc.
Unfortunately, my cat has figured out the new seat fits his little butt very nicely and likes to sit on it and/or nap. Since they tend to be belligerent and rarely do what ever it is you ask of them, I figured first things first to protect my new seat from his very sharp little claws. If you can't beat'em, at least try to outsmart 'em. Forums pretty slow so here's a couple pics of solution. Now I don't need to worry about it while it's in here at least. Wish he could at least hand me tools while I work on it.
