WOW! Thanks for this great information.

On the way to work Thursday evening, I passed a car with an engine fire. Driver was smart enough not to open the hood, but it frustrated me not to have an extinguisher on the bike. Any of you stow an extinguisher somewhere on your bike? Where did you find one small enough? Where do you keep it?

I didn't rejet. Not sure if it would run any better or not. I really don't know about that. It idles well, pulls strongly, and revs to redline, so I'm content.

A magnetic drain plug is your friend! goldplug.com

I put a MAC 1-1609 exhaust on my '82 SuperSport. That part number is for a Custom/K model. The aluminum plate in back on the F bike put the hole in a slightly different place, but it wasn't hard to make a bracket to make it fit.

amc49 said "The starter clutches are well known for rattling, they commonly loosen at the 3 bolts holding the housing together. Loctite to cure. Problems can be past that though, the 3 roller setup just sucks there. The noise you heard was one of the rollers coming loose to skid and the clutch...

I've had very good service from 4into1.com

Good to know. I got a Gold Plug and it looks well-made. Thanks.

Thanks BAHNST!

I've looked at a few magnetic drain plugs to replace my stock drain plug (1982 Supersport). They all seem to be a good bit longer than stock. Anyone know of any limits to how long the plug can be before it gets hit by something spinning around? I don't have a clear idea of what is happening...

Does your green neutral light come on when you pull in the clutch lever?

I Googled oggy knobs and looked at a couple of websites that offered them, but they didn't have them for bikes my age. I'd sure try them if I found some. May have to have a pair made.

Those parts look splendid on that '73 model. Wonder if they would fit my '82 Supersport.....

Thanks for the replies! I found a different idea at Wild Hair Accessories (whaccessories.com), but I wonder how tough they are in a crash..... I'd be happy to find some used ones. This is not a show bike by any stretch!

I have the same issue on my '82 Supersport. I had assumed it was a cable cleanliness/lubrication issue. It's on my list.

Mine do. 1982 Supersport

Honda!

Wow! What a great looking rig!

Good to know, Lee. thanks!

So over the winter I checked the valve adjustment, followed the procedure for tensioning the cam chains, changed the fork oil, and made a little tab to go on the positive battery terminal to allow easier charging and jump starting. The rubber cover from a chisel point fit over that perfectly to...

Thanks!!

Pretty sure i don't have TRAC on this 82 F SuperSport. Don't see any indication of it on the forks.

Way back on 8-16-2014 raene asked the question whether his 82 cb750c forks had to go to the dealer for disassembly. The question was never answered so I'll ask it again. Clymer book says my 82 F forks have to go to the dealer for disassembly -- true? Or is there some other way? I drained the...

Thought that might be the case. thanks, amc49. I see Ft. Worth is going to be a pleasant 62 degrees tonight. East Tennessee is predicted to be a frosty 38!

I was thinking about winterizing and read in the Clymer manual about some Engine Cylinder Protectors that screw into the spark plug holes. A Google search didn't turn up anything like that. Clymer book refers to the Brookston Co. in Peterborough NH. Could that be a typo and they meant...
