Re: Room for another Cheesehead?
Thank you for the great link on the timing belt x2 Cliff. It looks like it's quite a job and I have never done anything timing related before. I just ordered them on Amazon, (the easy part) so by the time they arrive I should be more confident. It really sucks to have so few miles on the ones installed but I guess the age makes changing them a no brainer. In looking closer at my muffler it appears the collar/clamp has been cut off mine. Any help on what I can do there? I suppose welding... but there has to be a better, stock like option.

Re: Room for another Cheesehead?
Thanks for the tip Track! I couldn't believe what the grabrails bring. I'm polishing it up tomorrow. I'll also check on the headlight ears too.

Re: Room for another Cheesehead?
Actually, you probably want to keep the headlight ears, as the turn signals on your yellow bike are not mounted in the stock location. IIRC, '75 and '76 are the same (I'm more familiar with the 1100's). You might want to check them out.

Re: Room for another Cheesehead?
You know I thought those empty holes on the sides didn't look right. I checked it out and your right, he must have changed them to put on the Windjammer. Thanks for catching that!
I'll check the box o parts it came with and see if reflectors are in there and fix that.
