Hey Lyle, The old method (which we used) envolves taking out the frame tube just above the engine. I've seen some guys weld in a new one slightly higher to ...
Fred, That's pretty cool. In the natural course of riding these things, one builds up an inventory of spare parts which eventually should end up as another...
