rsjudka said:This may be a total noob question, but this about the valve adjustment procedure:
You start by finding compress stroke on the left side (stick finger in left spark plug hole and feel for air pushing put). Then you get it to LT and set proper gaps on the left side valve adjusters.
My question is, when going to do the right side valve adjusters, do I just rotate the engine 180° from where I just was, or do I find the compression stroke of the ride side (sticking finger in right spark plug hole and feeling for air pushing out) and then get it to the T mark?

If I recall, you have a sealed beam style that has the lamp, reflector, and lens all in one? If so, you may want to replace the bucket anyway so you can get a hold of replacement bulbs easier.
rsjudka said:So as long as I get a bucket with a replaceable bulb (ex. https://www.dimecitycycles.com/6-1-4-inch-gloss-black-h4-headlight-assembly.html) then your 20W H4 LED Headlight Bulb should fit in just fine?
Is it possible to go smaller with the headlight bucket? Can I step down from a 7" to a 6-1/4"?

Sonreir™ said:Probably. The LED bulbs take up a bit more room than the halogen because of the heat sink they need. They will fit most buckets, but there are exceptions.
trek97 said:Also, if they are too tight, the valves could be tagging the piston tops. But not sure how tight they would have to be for this to occur.

rsjudka said:In the picture on your website, it looks like the bulb plugs into a 2 prong connector? Does that mean this LED doesnt have a high beam?
Yeah one is higher than the other.Sonreir™ said:Are the pins on the bulb offset? They're not directly across from one another, right? One should be higher than the other.
rsjudka said:Also, if my turning signals light up but don't blink, does that mean I need a new flasher relay?
