You may know a couple friends of mine Gary and Mark Mayer they took the course together out there. For me it was rough having to forget what I know and learn the correct way to ride safely. I did pass though :-) a very valuable course. I'm posting two pictures of the Honda's front wheel for the grou...

Okay, I will make the changes suggested and get back to you Wednesday or Thursday.
I'm enrolled in a motorcycle driver train class to brush up on my riding skills and get that "M" on my drivers license.

I'm talking about the axle nut between the right fork leg and the speedo drive. There is not enough room for a standard width open end wrench. There must be a thin open end wrench to tighten that nut.
I have to guess it's an 18 mm open end wrench that I will have to grind down to fit.

Thanks a bunch, that's exactly what I needed to know.
One more question, what size mm open end wrench fits that nut? A 17 or 18 and I'll have to grind it down to fit between the fork leg and the speedo hub.
Very cool information.

When I bought the 66' Scrambler the P.O. was in the middle of a restore when he had to sell the scrambler due to illness so among other parts the speedometer cable was missing. My focus was to get the motor running,using the Ed Moore tune-up procedure found on this forum and Bill Silver's tune-up pr...
