New rebuild in the Northwest

[Rob Valdez 79 R65]

It also had two throttle cables right out of the throttle housing rather than single to double.

First gen's had two cables coming out of the housing.  The single w/the splitter was a '81 change.

Magura has always been the OEM supplier for handlebars, perches, grips etc.

Not sure what the part # for this is...! OEM?

...The bought one was a Magura (?) rather than stock stuff. It also had two throttle cables right out of the throttle housing rather than single to double...

Many peeps -including me- would rather have the twin cables setup as you describe, rather than fight with the junction box hidden under the tank. This 1-into-2 throttle cable mish mash was supposed to be an improvement? [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

A favor. I wonder if anyone can give me the height/placement of each of the bumpers on the underside of the seat. The seat i bought on eBay is missing  all the bumpers (as well as the rear "hook/hinge"...)

Not sure which seat you have but on a 78 - 80 seat there are 10 bumbers in total. 8 are 17.6mm dia x 10mm deep and the two larger bumpers at the front are 17.6mm dia x 15mm deep.

Hope that helps.

I have A BUNCH of these bumpers on hand.  But I am at work and I can't measure them right now.  If the majority of what I have are 10mm ones, don't order any!  You can have some of mine.

Rob,

You are way cool and generous!  You helped me tremendously!

[Rob Valdez 79 R65]

I have 6 of the 10mm, 2 of the 15mm and one 5mm (for which I could not find a use on any of the fiche...).  These are all brand-new.

I have 6 more of the 5mm out in the garage that look to be hardened with age, but I don't know where they came from?  They are definitely not new.

Thanks Rob and Barry for your generous info and time. I'll inventory the one's I have and see what I'm short.

Received a tank yesterday and it has a different set-up though this was half expected (thanks Chock(. Here's a picture of the original and the new/used blue one. I prefer the new to the original and wanted to know if someone can tell me if they've ever modified their frame to fit these larger tanks? This new tank requires a bar above the rear of the frame to bolt to rather than the wire loop. Pictures?
