greg,
'you 'da man!" I'll check out the local auto parts although I must say I've never seen it around here. If not thanks for the link, I'll mail order some.
Steve

Keith, Send pics of this bike so we can see her before and

wheel by lifting front of bike off<BR>> ground and
attaching a dial indicator to the side of the
front<BR>> wheel.
You<BR>> can check runout that way. Put bike

Obviously check spoke tighness<BR>> by

either wheel you can true the wheel<BR>> yourself,

Greetings fellow owners. Well, I once again am an owner of
a<BR>> loopframe,<BR>>
this time a 70 Ambo thanx to Mick LeTourneaux of this board.
Bike<BR>> seems<BR>>
mechanically sound and clean enough to ride, but I plan
on<BR>> polishing
her<BR>> to the max and giving her a cafe style
racer look. She is all black<BR>> with the
std chrome, so my plan is to carry out the black &
chrome<BR>> theme<BR>>
throughout the bike. Mick has the std/low bars on her now, and
she<BR>> seems to sit lower than Patience (think
the Progressive shocks are<BR>> shorter than
stock). She definitely runs well, Mick believes the
PO<BR>> installed a lightened flywheel - she really
kicks in 2nd gear. <BR>> I'm
sure<BR>> I will have several questions as I start
the project, but my initial<BR>> questions
are:<BR>><BR>> 1. It appears the cylinder
heads were once painted black. They<BR>> are
now<BR>> faded out to a gray, what type of paint
can I use to respray the<BR>> cylinders a nice
black color?<BR>><BR>> 2. Does anybody
know how to or somebody whom can check that
the<BR>> wheels/spokes are true. I want to
paint sections of the wheels, but<BR>> want to make
sure they are straight before painting them.
How<BR>> would I<BR>> go
about painting them? Will the wheels accept paint as they
are<BR>> or do<BR>> they
need to be stipped and/or primed prior to being
painted?<BR>><BR>> That's all for now, thanx for
any inputs.<BR>><BR>> Keith
