Welcome! Along with the maintenance you have mentioned, I would recommend inspecting the valve train and checking the valve lash. Also, a copy...
That's the cat's pajamas!
An easy-out will also do the trick: [IMG] McMaster-Carr
Please take photos along the way. Looking forward to seeing what you find.
+1 CR. My favorite being the episode 'Draggin' Headers'. This was pure gold.
Now we're talking!
May not be what you have in mind but given that has been repainted, is in fair cosmetic condition, has a few electrical gremlins and has 25K on...

Thanks for the post. Yes, this is what I was remembering. If I could ask where did this rim come from? A 155mm wide tire is as large as you can...
