I’ve heard that wintergreen oil and alcohol or break fluid work as well. Anyone ever used these to soften rubber?

Will do, thank you!

Can someone please explain how to remove the air filter housing without cutting it from a CL70? The boot rubber is some what flexible but I can’t seem to squeeze it through the small hole in the front and that seems like the only way it will come out.

I looked everyday for over 2 years until I finally found this one.

I’m near Cedar Rapids, IA. Thank you for the advice! I’ll post updates as I have it repaired.

The tank was very hard to find and expensive so buying one in better condition is not an option

Hello everyone, I have a 69’ CL70 gas tank that I want to have stored. It’s in pretty rough shape (lots of dents). I’m looking for someone in my area to remove the dents and do some body work and paint to return it to it’s original self. I need some advice on who I should look for to do...

Thank you for the suggestions!

Has anyone found a good bike cover they like?

Thanks for the info CT. I’m probably just going to repair the one I have. Do you have a recommendation for a good seat cover?

Sorry, haven’t really been on the site or followed scarcity since I finished my last one precovid. Didn’t realize they were such a hot commodity. Thanks anyway

Any decent exhausts? K1 and later

I bought a 71 HK1 a couple years ago and I’m getting it ready to be sold to fund other projects. It doesn’t look like there has been oil in it for some time. Besides cleaning the filter screen and putting new oil in it, what should I do to the motor before trying to start it up? I do not want to...

Looking for a non cracked seat pan or complete seat. Preferably for a K1 but will consider others for recover. Thanks!

I’m in Center Point
