Hi everyone,
I got this bike as a project and it is coming along just fine. Some parts weren't on the bike, but in a box. So here are my questions; The bike is a non-cast 1969 and it has TWO horns. One says H, and one says L. They are bolted together with a single bolt, and then attatched to the one frame lug on the right side. Are there supposed to be two horns? One will fit nicely, but will look awkward and unsymetrical. With the two, it looks nice but since one small bolt holds them on it seems flimszy at best. I have pictures of how the bike came to ne if someone would like to take a look. How is the darn thing, or things, supposed to mount???
Next, I get the impression that the original carbs each had a cable going up to a junction before going to the throttle and the newer models had a manifold with one throttle cable. This bike has the manifold type, which probably isn't correct but that's okay. On the airbox side, there appears to be what looks like what we used to call a velosity stack that goes on the carb body, and then the stack part actually goes inside the airbox and is inside by a good two inches. That's my question, is that right??? Does this part go in the airbox two inches??? And lastly, this bike was painted the original gold. Was the airbox black or gold.
Anyone's input will be appreciated.
