Including information about bike year and model is helpful to viewers and usually elicits better responses.
It's easy to put the information in your signature where it shows in all posted messages, past and future. And may be changed whenever and as often as desired.

Thanks for posting the pics Duc. Does anyone know who those guys are? And what year were those pics taken..... 1972?

Keep us posted on your build, looking good.

Did you build this yourself? Mind showing us how? I doubt I have the equipment to do it myself, but I am removing my starter motor and am curious how it was done.

I used a lathe. I could explain it, but it's really simple if you are familiar with lathes.

That's what I figured (and why I said I didn't have the equipment). Thanks. :(

Speaking of acetal, these are little venturi adaptors that I made so I can use 51mm filters on VM carbs...
