Okay, Captain Barbosa the pirate.

Us in the American V-Twin world call that knob " POOR MAN'S CRUISE CONTROL"  ;D

As for starting my bike , I have noticed that it was harder to start when i was running higher
octane fuel in it, rather than the 87 I now run. I always open the choke, get the bike started ,
and raise the idle so it can get good and warm. As the bike warms I lower the idel back to
normal and go from there...

Gotta love these cold-blodded bikes.......

Hi ProTeal55,

As a newbie trying to get an idea of what's around for these beautiful old bikes I looked up the CycleExchange site.
They have some amazing stuff there! Where do they get these new 30 year old parts?
A lot of the stuff looks very usefull - friends of yours?

Cheers,

Neil.
