Rubber Gaiters

If you read my reply to your first post the answer lies within. Your 529205 is well into the rubber gaiters period. Your front fender should also be indented where the gaiters meet the fender. If you change to solo springs you'll have to get new spring mounts as the threaded portion is different. I ...

Sidecar?

Boy, I gotta ask. How in the world did a 50S get mated to a sidecar? Is the FD gearing correct?

Tip to tip is probably 200mm

Tip to tip is probably 200mm which seems to be the standard length and available from Huggett and Ulis'. Raffaelle, are you sure the 140mm lever was dedicated for R68, or maybe just an optional length? I looked in both my R51/3-R67/2 and R68 parts manuals and the part number is the same, 250 1 40 06...

Hand shifter

I just measured mine, it's about 165mm center hole to center ball and has an S bend in it, probably to help clear the right leg. When I ride I feel it tapping my calf once in while. As with Kurt, I never use it but it's supposed to be there, so...

Indian Plunger tanks

I'm sure everyone's seen these repops from India on EBay. Anyone out there have one and would like to review? I really need a standard tank and I can't find an OEM one.

LED's for plungers?

OK, I'm sure all the LED's are the same in the bucket, what about an Eber tail/brake LED for the plunger assembly? NOT the amber lens version.

Steve,
