Any update on your problem Chris? I don't think that sounds right. I will check mine when I can

No haven’t torn it apart yet, adjusted valves on my 72 an it spins free both ways, but I noticed when it’s off an in neutral it doesn’t always want to roll backward. I am wondering if it is something to do with the clutch?

When I did mine, I remember at the end there is a pin with a spring to put in the center and the spring as to go face down, don't think that would stop it turning both ways, but it would be worth checking

I am not sure, the clutch has never been apart other than removing to split case. I had to replace a part from transmission though so it was completely disassembled. After seeing that my 72 also seems to lock up while rolling backward in neutral (transmission has never been touched) I am believing it might be some sort of safety or something.

Carburetor is done, went a little to hard with the chemicals (n)

so I ended up having to polish it, might order some carb renew eventually. Hopefully case covers will be done soon.

FINALLY got bike, well most of bike back from body shop. Color match is perfect painter is finishing the cloud silver on wheels an case covers. Going to spray shock caps, headlight an chain guard again. Hope to start putting it back together by spring.

Got Time-Serts in bottom of case an engine back together. Also got mysterious transmission sticking problem fixed, the primary gear was hung up on clutch. works great now I must have hyper focused an never noticed clutch was compressed lol. Started assembling forks an wheels going to see if I can clean fork tubes out better today they don’t seem to be sliding very evenly or smoothly.

Looking good. You may want a longer vent tube though.

Chrisj796 · Jan 6, 2021

Does any know of there is a superseded part number for the headlamp assembly or one that fits? 33100-089-671 is what I have been searching for but there are quite a few similar looking lights.

Chrisj796 · Jan 7, 2021

I got my headlight assembly apart an it cleaned up pretty good but the glass is missing, anyone have a one they would want to part out or know if similar ones like off a ct90 or something would fit if I were to pull glass out? I took the aftermarket one off my K1 an glass seems like it would be a close fit but looks like it is cast in or something.

Does anyone know we’re you can get rear shocks rebuild, I bought some aftermarket ones but would like to get originals rebuild one day, both have bent shafts an are blown.

OLD CT · Jan 14, 2021

The member here, who rebuilds rear shocks is named ''scooter.'' Do a ''rebuilt shocks'' search to find him.

red69 · Jan 14, 2021

Jeff (Scooter) does a good job and is reasonable in cost.

Chrisj796 · Jan 14, 2021

Ok thanks for the information I PM him, see what he says

Well I sand blasted a trio of parts to have repainted by the guy that painted my K1 an Jeepster, hopefully get parts back soon. Rebuilt headlamp assembly an got bike wired up. Shame had to take that fresh paint job off looked great just different shade of gold.

darrel gunderson · Feb 6, 2021

Looks good. Your fuel shut off valve on the carb is installed upside down.

Chrisj796 · Feb 20, 2021

Got the other parts back from paint, just a few more parts to repair an polish.

kirrbby · Feb 20, 2021

CANDY GOLD!! That looks great!

Jmunk · Feb 20, 2021

Paint looks great.
