    I did send him one. Thank you for pointing that out too. This is my first bike and it was given to me. I know a lot about car engines and I was looking for a bike to cut my teeth on. When I was given this one. So I am here to learn and find parts.

    Ah. Was wondering how he found my email. :D


    I have a few parts left, but not many. I can look to see if I still have the box of stuff kicking around. All I really have left is a cowl, rear tire assembly, and frame. I'll try to dig out a box of parts if I can find them.

    20170212_174052.jpg 20170212_174115.jpg all I need is the one cam cap shown in the photo. So if you have one floating around would be amazing.

    The cap was cracked when you bought it?
    Where in Wisconsin are you?

    It was broken when I got it. The previous owner gave me the bike because he had bought a new one and wanted the room that this bike was taking up. I am in whitewater.

    Ah. That's a cap. I was thinking you meant one of the little plugs on the end. Nope, no caps. That went with the top end I rebuilt.

    I sold the headlight, but I may still have the bracket. Between selling off items, people flaking out, and moving stuff around its hard to remember. I might still have it though. I think that is one of the things that was going to sell, but the buyer never got around to it. I've got two boxes to check after work today.

    The broken bolt in the headlight mount is so incredibly common......of all the mounts that I have gotten, whether on a bike or just a part, only about 3 have not had a snapped-off bolt in one of the sides.
