Re: New Radiator Opinions
At about 7:20, was he soldering over a hole?
At the end, when he was soldering on bracket, he used the big iron. Would the torch have unsoldered the tank?

Re: high conpression head ??
I like my 6:1 Snyder’s head, but now that the Burtz head is available, I’d strongly consider it. Be aware that you will want to limit your spark advance.

Re: Safety cage?
A real roll cage like race cars have would be a very extensive modification. I rely on the experience of 60 years of driving and 54 years of motorcycle riding to avoid accidents. Riding in a 2024...

Re: Wheel stud replacement
I don’t see how a light touch with a hole saw to cut away the swaging ruins the hub. Done right, none of the hub or drum is touched.

Re: Left Lights On By Mistake
I am in the habit of flipping the battery cutoff switch in front of the seat to off when I park. It covers up my possible multitude of sins.

I have left the pin there too many times, but luckily it fell to under the radiator, so I painted it gold to try to remember to screw it where it belongs.

Re: Distributor Locking Screw, HELP!
I’m no welder, so a steel nut to cast iron seems exotic. One of these requires .5” of metal, is there enough? https://www.mcmaster.com/94165A255/

Re: Voltage regulator
6V is used in those calcs, I’ve always read that the system runs more at 7.2V or so. Does that affect the maximum amps you want to see?
