Thanks AZshorty...
I only have a headlight (might come in handy
if a day ride goes too long)-
Do I need the battery for just that?

Got it! It only took ~ a minute...
I used a little pick and voila! I'd better get
that key ordered- don't really want to stick it
back in to go for a ride!

Dale...
Sorry, I need to clarify--- I searched for
that topic before I posted (I must have phrased
it weirdly)- your link works fine- a good read indeed...
I will definitely go the SH route- already have
a cart full of goodies picked out!

Sounds reasonable... I'll give it a shot!

Thanks MTRob...

Dumb question... Will a super strong magnet
work? Not sure what the key is made of- I can
use a screwdriver to click ignition to off position-
but kind of a pain!

Thanks for the link Dale- I searched and didn't
find it...
I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not- a guy
mentioned it to me at HD'14 and made it sound

All- My '75 RT model 99 has the key broken off in the "on" position of the ignition. I have an after market push button kill switch that works great. I have heard this is a common practice-but why? Is it so you don't risk losing your key? Or so you don't accidently turn off your bike? It p...

Thanks Clarence... I appreciate the input.
I met you at HD this year- it was a pleasure-
I ended up buying a Road Toad from Bill Morris @ HD
(you looked at it with me) I visited with your daughter
quite a lot- A real nice gal

Good points! I didn't want to make a rookie
mistake
Thanks for the info- off to wrench on the Toad!

Thanks for the insight... The points came with some lube-so I should be good to go. As far as the torque goes- IF I am converting things right-that's only like 14 ft lbs.- that seems low to me-especially how fast that shaft is turning! I saw that figure as well... Just to be clear- I am talking abou...

Hi all-
I need a little direction...
Where exactly should I lube my new ignition
Points on my Road Toad?
Also- can anyone tell me the correct torque
For the flywheel (magneto?)

Thanks-
Rich
