    there will be a lot more stresses on the arm because the steel and tube sizing would be matched to the original length, I would get a radian swingarm (if you can find one) having said that I've seen 3" stretches done but you need to know what you are doing!

  4. As far as I can see, its the right hand wire which goes to no-where, and not sure where the tail end goes! BTW do you have a starter motor fitted?

    petrol (gas) is leaking past the float valves. just wear and tear. you can get replacments from get the whole kit and clean the carbs down one at a time!
  7. from what I can gather, the headlamp relay is for when you initally start the bike up (headlamp = running lights in the US) you obviously don't want the headlamp on when the starter is drawing all the amps it can! the relay is activiated by a feed from the rectifier which power only gets there through the alternator. (The alternator only works when the engine is running!) I think the engine cut out switch would also cuts the relay power (thus the headlamp goes out too) I don't have a US spec bike so can't take a picture It make have been cut or not used in your instance!

    John, Its not you per se, its that we get a lot of newbies on here who, 1st post, demand we tell them how to fix their bike, get the info and then leave. not good for a healthy forum I think you'll agree. We ARE a friendly bunch and we have a natter and banter just like being down the pub, only online. To answer your question, ebay is the best place an there are loads of 2 in 1 Motad systrems that come on, or widen your search to ebay.de the german site. CNSML.com may have a set but you'll pay and you could always contact Motad themselves as they may have some NOS!
