Such a awesome shop in Iowa can't wait to fit these on my 6T.
Off to watch some vintage bike drags in Humboldt Iowa mmmm nitro!!

Wow that looks like the original Polychromatic Blue paint on those parts, the only bit of PB left on my bike was inside of the rear brake plate.

Hi some photos I forgot to add parts out on my gearbox that were found bad changed...
Shift plate,forks n rollers,also changed spring and plunger out of my 1970 t120r parts motor new bearings were used in rebuild.

Bearings were probably new 71 years ago.

My shift plate had seen better days.

My old cork insert clutch plates put new

Barnett plates were used in this rebuild all new.
Have a new sump plate to install with magnetic plug will be handy.

Gotta rebuild my oil release valve has been leaking the rubber tube cost a whole 1.50 70-2793 its probably 71 years old.

It's been so hot 100plus today's high 80s f hopefully we're thru the summer bake.
Last time I had her out I've got a bad prv leak I need to fix so I've got the rubber tube on order.

This was my progress the weekend before last.
Got an early start 4am ish swapped out my dual pull 15/16 Bte throttle assembly for emgo 1" single pull.
I had to cut and solder throttle cable end I also had to machine a nylon sleeve(earlier in the week at work.) and fab a aluminum spacer out of .040 alum sheet.
I'll use the dual pull 15/16 BTE throttle assembly on my delta headed 57 TR6 in the near future..

Today I received my order from Baxter Cycle so I got busy after getting out of the weekday grind.
Rebuilt my prv the rubber definitely was shot good to go now 👍

New gaskets for my sump plate with magnetic plug will be a huge improvement.
