Post a pic of your Airhead

You should post this under the Airheads forum and not the one for pictures.

But, yes, the only way to fix this is to pull the entire assembly (heads and cylinders) out in order to replace the seals.

You might be able to live with it, depending on the rate of leakage or amount of mess it creates. If the bike
is somewhat unknown to you, you may be interested in doing a complete top end overhaul. Save the pushrob tube seals until then...

You should search the Airheads forum...this has recently been discussed.

Canada dan windshield

I am looking @ the small windshield on your bike-what is the source? Looking for ideas as to what one to put on a /7 standard bike-I dont want a large fairing-whats out there besides Parabelum and "S" styles . Are the S fairings very effective for a 5"9" rider?
 
is Gustaffson still in biz? he used to be in FLA, I believe. looks like it could be one of his.

1974 R90/6

I feel I should apologize to the AIRHEAD GODS - it only has 25,000 miles on it. I've been bustin to get it out of the garage (cleaning, replacing, tuning). I re-registered and licensed it today. Still need to tweak the carbs a little.

Apoligize?

Don't apologize to anyone. Ride it a little, ride it a lot - just OWN one!!!

I can't believe I forgot how to kick start a bike. I may need an instructional video.
