Shell should be black and the upper left light should blink with turn signals. Tank and both fenders should match.

Should be fun???

After a nice ride today, the clicking noise seems to be gone. That was an easy fix!!

Thanks for the help!

Is the seat pan and seat cover the same between the bikes? I know it seems to have a different rear upper frame section...

I have read a bit on how to adjust the rocker end play clearance to cut down on valve noise. I have a clickingish sound when hot and over 3000rpm. It stays until it cools a bit and is mainly run under 3000rpm. Valves are properly adjusted and it's a clicking not a ping or the like. So the question i...

My '73 R75/5's are aprox. 6 1/2". I even matched them up to a 7" and they are smaller.
