    1981 SH Rectifier/regulator + regulator

    So now my next question is; where does the brown line get constant power? From this diagram it looks like brown is the constant power source throughout the bike, and it comes from the stator brushes. The brown wire goes into the regulator, and i assume the green wire comes out with the regulated...

    1981 SH Rectifier/regulator + regulator

    Tire mounting question...

    its most likely not seating entirely. I have mounted and dismounted about 6 tires and ion ever one this has been a factor. There is a pretty clear right and wrong and that amount of tire being inside the rim still will produce a violent wobble. I usually mix up car wash soap and water and...

    81 heritage special progress

    I went a little 17 year old-ish and painted the tank a little tribute to America.. put on the new master cylinder, bead blasted caliper, and new steel braided lines. Bikes been really fun to ride and the next thing is to rewire it from scrap and get new pods, clean it up etc.
