Very interesting read. I will be curious to see how you make out with the off brand 836 kit. I've been kicking the same idea around for my 73 when I finally get sick of kicking past second. It's really my fault for banging it so hard 30 years ago when I was sneaking it out of my Dad's garage...

They look great Steve! I'm working on my 71 also. Not spending much $ yet just took it all apart, cleaned it, made it work and put it back together. I'm to the point of re-sealing the tank and new tires. Should have it on the road this summer.

They look like the stock wheels to me. Just painted a little different.

Sounds like a stator to me. Did they still use the regulator rectifier in 82?

I had a Purple Rain flashback.:D I like where you are going with the project.

The most important thing you need to do is get a picture of your wife sitting on the back!:smoke:

If I baked bike parts in my wife's Jenn-Air, her bike or not I would most likely need a new wife.:cussing: Learned my lesson baking radio control airplane cylinders one night.

I love an RC51 as well. Never had the $ to put up for one.

Great looking 70s era skoot! I think it looks super just like it is, maybe a seat upgrade. I love the fairing.

Pretty cool to ride your Dad's bike. I have fond memories of riding on the back of my 73 with my Dad doing the driving. When I got it running again after languishing for 30 years, my wife came down to the shop and said "that's ridiculous!", it's got pretty loud pipes:cool: I gave the stern...

I kinda think the purple and 80s flames are cool. Little rubbing comp to make it shine and ride the thing!

K2 is correct also. It has been my experience that a good old cleaning of contact surfaces (including cleaning my winker, which worked great:cool:) solves most electrical woes on these guys.

If you have a friend with a CB, ask if you can borrow his winker cube:devil: and replace it with a known good one for a quick check. "Hey buddy can I borrow your winker?" Sounds pretty funny:wink2:

I may be wrong but I think you wanted to post here.:rolleyes: http://www.cb750.com/threads/2462-Best-kept-secret!-Free-money-for-parts!-Your-chances-are-good-to-win-Enter-Now

I was thinking the same thing about revving it just a bit. Nothing crazy. If you can't find a winker relay it might just be a little crud on the spring steel strip. I was able to get one back to working condition by removing the little bit of rust on it.
