New to forum and culture!

[e3steve]

Thanks guys! I appreciate it and I did add a location to my profile. I brief history on myself:

I have owned a Jeep Wrangler and was considered a solid contributor to our forum. I enjoy working on things, and I love to help people as much as I can, with a humble attitude. I am really excited to join this site and for the restoration, piece by piece on my superhawk. You guys will probably get sick of me and all my questions but please be patient :). I am a slow learner but I have the willingness and wanting-ness to continue forward. I am extremely meticulous and find myself paying very close attention even to the small things. I am 22 years old. I am getting married in February. I look forward to being a help on this site, and being helped :).

Thanks again for all your help in advance!

We never get sick of questions; we all learn from those!

btw: where's teazer? i.e. what's your location, mate? Come on..... no hiding, now!

I'd be interested in your frame number (for the '65> database); CB or CP?. It looks like a PO has had access to a CL parts bike -- clutch cable, exhausts, r/h casing & kickstarter.

Possibly originally a Canadian model with the winkers and the little taillight fitted.

Looks like Dunlop K70 tyre tread pattern; I'm jealous!

Incidentally, owner's handbook available here.

Looking at a couple of things I'm not at all sure it's for the US market steve. ...........lm

I only remove one wheel at a time. The rear is easy and comes out with the bike on the stand. For the front, leave the bike on the stand and jack up the front of the motor.

You could also use a lifting device of some sort to pull it up by the bars.

Marlin, thanks for posting the pic, and adding your location! I'm glad you posted the pic, as you seem to have a non US market bike with a few Scrambler parts grafted on. This was common practice back in the day. If you do need to remove both wheels at once, put a jack under the front of the engine, while on the center stand, and that will keep the bike from tipping forward.

I use the same method as Davemoto.

Also a good idea to secure the bottom of the centerstand to the front of the engine or frame with a strap so the centerstand doesn't collapse if you nudge the bike.

Thanks guys for all your help. I do want to add, over the next few weeks, please treat me as if I am a 5 year old with this stuff. I had no idea that my bike was a non-us bike. When i bought if from the owner, he did mention that the taillight was rare or something and that the blinkers came factory and it was rare as well. I don't know much about it.
