    Making progress on cleaning her up. Got aftermarket matching mirrors. Found a grab bar. Saddle bags that fit alright. New grips. Paint needs done again I made a few errors with my first paint job. I might look into plasti dip. Now I want to switch the Speedo and Tach to a single Speedo but I need to create a bracket I believe. And paint my wheels but since I'm newer to all of this can anyone tell me l. 1. How to create a bracket. 2. How to find the right Speedo or cut stock one in half maybe? 3. How to remove rear wheel. Annnnd replace my valve cover gasket. I know I'm asking a lot but you all have helped me a lot in the past. I would appreciate any input or advice. Obviously I don't care if items are after market. 0420161538.jpg 0420161538a.jpg

    If you haven't yet might as well change the valves when you're changing the gasket.

    I wouldn't change the valves, I'd just check and adjust clearances if needed. Changing valves is a lot of work.
