Remember to take the spark plug cap so that you are actually reading the coil

Looks like I actually have everything to restore the oil injection circuit. ,The PO gave me a box of parts with everything nicely labeled - including the oil tank and fittings but as I inspect the bike further, the PO cut off the fill spout part which is welded to the frame - where you put the two-s...

I recently purchased a very nice Thunderdog, alas the previous owner had changed the throttle assembly with a straight single pull Magura type and disconnected the oil pump. He ran premix for several hundred miles with the disconnected oil pump still in the motor. I'm guessing this was no good for t...

I found this one, $10 + $4 shipping from the UK. Looks like it'd be a pretty easy unobjectionable replacement for the old square switches. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLASSIC-CAR-UNIVERSAL-mechanical-brake-light-switch-N-O-pull-to-make-Contact/252520627506?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055...

Maybe . . . Was hoping for more of those golf cart replacements but this might do. Thanks!

Yeah, I was looking for a more square type version that bolts to the original mounting plate. Someone did turn up a source for an aftermarket golf cart square switch that was a direct bolt in, but that eBay seller doesn't list them anymore. Wondering if anyone turned up a similar specific applicatio...

Has anyone found a suitable replacement for the stop light switches for a Road Toad? I don't seem to find any universal square-ish looking one to fit where the OEM one could go and I am not too nuts about using a Lucas style from Emgo. OEM hodaka new replacements are just too pricy for a driver. Min...

I've been working on a Road Toad that I traded for some Bultaco parts. It was pretty ratty. My goal was to get rid of all the funk but not restore it so that it could look again like a surviving original. Mostly touch up paint, new decals, cables, carb job, replace missing pieces, tires, sent the se...

I got it. Its pretty hard to peel off the plastic and have the letters stay with the paper, but if one lays the paper flat on a counter and peels of the plastic of the top that way, it takes some doing but it comes off -- very carefully. Job done. Thanks

The plastic side peels away from the sticky side. The paper is easy release so that once the vinyl letters are on the tank, the paper will peel easily away from the decal. Paper is the last thing you remove after burnishing the decal on. ; D Victor That's what I thought to except the letters want t...

This is the way that decals are made. The front paper is just the carrier, and the decals just loosely stick to it. The strong adhesive is on the backside of the decal. Peel off the clear protective backing, position the decal + carrier on the tank and press and rub ("burnish") the decal ...

Got my set of decals from SH, but I'm confused. Its polly just me and they're closed for the weekend, so I'll post my question here. Thinking they are backwards or should the vinyl lettering stay on the paper side? If I were to apply the sticky plastic side, they'd be reversed? The plastic side havi...

Thank you. That helps explain my confusion.

Hello

Working on a 74 Road Toad 100cc. What is the proper torque spec. I searched the forum but was slightly confused because this engine is very similar to the ACE 100, so I'm not certain of the proper head bolt torque spec. Thanks.
