Paint, or.....

I would Vote for "Powder Coat"!

It is Thicker, and Harder than Paint, and will "Stick" better.

I also have a Complete Wombat Aircleaner, Filter, Rubber "J" connector Pipe, and Spring Clip.

Since I am using a Battery Box / Key Ign. Switch, I have to use the Old Original Aircleaner.

Re: A New Project Bike! headlight

Victor,
I have a 92B Headlight.
I don't plan to use it since I got a Chrome one W/ 6volt bulb and a off /on switch mounted on it.
It is a Side Tab Mount and was New for $49.00 from BMI Kart and Mini bike parts.

Wireing Spokes

Has anyone ever heard of "Wireing Spokes for added Strength"?

"Back in the day", I read that if you wired the "X" of spokes where they pass each other, it would make them stiffer and stronger.

You might want to look into Boring out, and "Bearing Bush" the Shifter Shaft Hole in the Left Outer Case.

This is a Greg Watkins Fix.
