    My '86 and both of my '88 models have suffered the same chain/brake lever rash on that sidecover, I simply bend the mount point out enough for the cover to clear the chain at full suspension compression.

    I had my boot push 1 in as the bike was compressing last weekend, it never broke or chewed it.
    I heard it in time. :D

    Got back on the bike tonight.

    1 more thing hurt from what ever, poor bike... Bolt is bent bad and cover smashed.
    At first, i was like wow its so round still and nice, then i saw it. :censored: :thumbsdown:

    800,1500 and then used a Mothers head light restoration kit with the power ball and polishing compound.

    Shoes and springs, a few different ones. 1 set was for a 4 speed but will resell them. :thumbsup:

    All the parts came in. :applause:

    The primary shoes in brass, springs and the hub center are not 3 speed at a glance.
