GRRRR.
stupid PO.
took off the fork brace to put on a 4 hole fender instead of a 6 hole. No wonder this thing handles like crap.
and put some mutant,screwed up, japanese hodge-podge on for braking. And when I took it off to clean it, it was the only thing holding the throttle assembly in one piece. Luckily for me, I -had- a throttle assembly.
swapped out the throttle assembly, and installed a new brake light switch... now I have brake lights.
now all I have to do is track down a master cylinder. I've got one, but it's for a much later bike. it fits, and if desperate, I might use it.
forks are gonna require a complete rebuild, and I"m going to have to scare up a fender brace somewhere.
The other weird thing is only one fork leg has a keeper screw. the other one looks suspiciously like someone welded it shut. so... I might be looking for a new fork tube.... dammit.
And yes, pix forthcoming.
