Nice score Dowg! Your off to a very good start! I would lead off with a maint. program on the car. Probably won't need much, then just drive it a week or so while you gather parts and ideas! Clean it up so its plesent to work on and have fun with the project!!

Yea im going to do a oil change. Filter looks good. The belt is sitting about 1/4 inch low on the clutch so guessing its time for a belt. Need lights for the campground so going to make a stainless bumper this weekend and fab some lights into it.

Probably going to order a rear seat kit this week. Worried about it moving the front back rest forward though. On my buddies club bar it moved it about a inch or so closer to the wheel. Make it pretty crowded.

Don't think it will change the seat on a Yamaha, I made my own rear seat tho.

Take the clutch cover off the primary clutch, and check the rollers, the ones on this 22 I'm doing, they were just starting to get flat spots. Catch it early so you don't wear out the bushings in the sheave. If there ok, at least lube them with some dry chain lube.

Then, if you arent using Plowmans or somebodys torque spring in the secondary. At least get a concierge spring from Yamaha and the spacer! Huge difference!!

Can't wait ta see the stainless!!

Enjoy! Mike
