Fort Langley, raining pretty good but no where else by the look of it.
What do you mean, how old are then plug leads?
Let me see the bike was made in late 1979, so that would make them about 35 years old.  Grin

Unfortunately they are a bit of work to replace as you need to dig them out of the coil as they're epoxied in there pretty good from the factory.

Actually that was my thoughts as well. I have the new plug leads but am going to order dyna coils so I don't have to deal with the epoxy issue. There is a thread on GS Resources on old invisibly cracked plug leads. I'll see if I can find it. I'm not sure but I believe dyna coils are an upgrade as well....

I think Dave meant a problem with power to the coils.

John was making sure he caught this, it's not just Nortons that like a free ride now and then. Grin



And thanks to Stan for the talk on turning spoked rims to tubeless, something I would do for sure.

Crap I just realized I have a bald spot on the back of my head!!!
Guess I will have to spend the rest of my life coming rather than going now.
Better go out and look for a rug that wont stick to the top of my helmet.


Thanks for the pic anyway Roy.......I think.

Is that all you have to worry about  Sad
In a few more years your nuts will shrivel up and drop off

Ask the other old guys if you don't believe me.
