...Six sleeps from the delivery of a '73 850 in HighRider config. Been studying the Haynes book (which I pulled off Amazon.ca for $6.49 CDN Shipped?!?!) and have the Owners service Guide/Riders manuals in PDF format.
Been reining in the temptation to buy lots of stuff ahead of time...not sure of precisely what is on bike (single carb but looks to be Amal...dual carbs were promised with the sale). Not sure what cable lengths to get until I inspect fully...I did order the UK roadster bars, oil filter and rear brake cable to give me something to play with as I go through all bike systems. Roadster replica seat on order (sale price from Walridge Canada too good to pass up).
Need to swap out the abhorent 16" rear wheel so will be trying my hand at first ever wheel build. Any rec's as to stainless/polished or chromed spokage?
