Can you expound on this a bit? I am familiar with static timing with a timing light with stock points, but am unsure what the process is with the PAMCO. By the way OP, the installation of the PAMCO is very straight forward. I lined up the notch in the PAMCO plate with the timing notch on my...

What did you use to attach the fabric to the aluminum pan?

Yeah. That's what I plan on doing if I can't figure anything else out, but I want to try and make sure I address the cause of the issue.. so something doesn't go wrong further down the road.

Thanks so much for doing this. I'll measure mine after work today and compare. It was also brought to my attention that since the bike has been sitting for a bit the wet clutch plates can get stuck together, possibly letting the push-rod slide further inward. I'm going to pull the clutch and...

That would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Finally showed up today. All is well that ends well.

Do you have the upper triple tree clamp? Willing to part with it?

Still in need of upper clamps.. the ones from portnoy got lost in the mail or something after all this time....... Time to cut my losses and buy another set.

PM'd!

Anyone?

Thank you for the replies. Its a '73. Looking forward to hearing back!
