I think I'm going to save the vise and hammer trick for a last resort... I'll try the hydraulic pressure trick first. Sorry JRK, just seems like less sweating involved. lol.
My biggest concern is the carburators... I've completely rebuilt them. New jets, seals, floats needle/seats... everything. I've got a new pet cock too. How tempermental are these old carbs, provided the fuel flow is constant to them? Do the mikuni race carbs I've seen on ebay make a difference/easier to maintain/get parts for? Does anyone have any experiance with the mikuni set up? Any advice on the stock cv carbs?

Thanks for the info. Luckily the slide diaphragms look to be in great shape. Hopefully they will last a few years. I've got a related (sort of) question on the drain tubes... where exactly do they get routed to? Surely they don't go right in front of the rear wheel? Down through the center support? Any advice?

Novafrk said:Ok, thats where I'll put them... Has anyone ever used a breather filter for the case vent, instead of running the hose? I think it'd look slick if you could get one small enough.
I've got a question about led turnsignals. Will I have to change the flasher unit in order for them to flash since the current draw is less? If so does anyone have any information on what unit they used or modification to the factory piece to get it too work?
If I understand the concept correctly, if I shave a little metal off of the bimetallic strip, it should heat up and trip the switch with the reduced current draw. Let me know what you think...
