If you look at my chopper in Turbo for my KZ1000, the second pic you can just see it mounted. I got it new in the box too. I don't think mine specified the model though. Chris

HEY Marty Thanks again for the square deal and meal!  I paid a little over $100 so its pretty on par for $20 in the 80's. Also Q, here is an action shot of the Manchester bridge (rebuilt 3 years ago).I will get some better pics of it

OK, Re assembly is underway. I cannot find which hole pattern these little steel rods for the shift mechanism go, there are 7 holes (one indicating N) and in all my disassembly pics I got nothing. I have 3 ,with one being slightly longer (1-2mm) than the others.Please help, cause I want this in my frame by Monday night.

Work is still crazy, along with kids stuff every night.I Got her ready to check ring gap and install these sweet jugs.I used a glossier(VHT) black, and polished fins for this,the black helps the polish shine. I am reading up on decreeing cams on 30 threads from this site(hahaha) they are all helpful.
