Deep pockets is right. $125 for a slide--ouch! I am going to call the guy I got the bike from. Thanks for the response.

I purchased the only manual that Al had, and most of it is aimed at rebuilding the engine, controls, and maintenance. It has been a valuable tool in the rebuilding process. However, when I got this bike, most of it was in a box and unassembled. Unfortunately, the manual does not deal with many of the smaller details regarding the bike.These are the things that I am trying to figure out, as I would like to put it back together correctly.

I would like to stress that the wiring seems to be fine, I am trying to find out if there is a proper way to attach the black wiring terminal (where the wires plug in) to the frame. I am sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
Michael

Thank you for the information. Can someone tell me how the black wiring terminal attaches to the frame? There is a small square piece with two prongs (prongs face toward kick starter side) that extends down from the frame (behind the coil). Does the wiring terminal attach to this? If so, then how is it done? What are the prongs for? I am baffled.

Thanks,
Michael

It is red.

It is a 1976.

Thanks guys. Now I have to go say I am sorry to my wife--again.

I just took the decals off an old tank. I used a heat gun to peel them off and then used Goo Gone to clean up the residue. It worked great.

Michael

It is going to be a rider.

Thanks for the quick response. I have already purchased the packet from Al.

More questions to come as I try to put the bike together.

Michael

I recently finished my 1974 Rickman/Montesa 250. I remember when they first came out--I thought they were really ugly. I have since changed my mind.

Michael

I purchased my side panels from Tom and got the paint codes off his site. What I would like to know is if anyone has used either of the red paints (Ford or GM), and if they were pleased with the results.

Michael

Thanks! The strip is on the way and I know the color.

Merry Christmas!

Michael

Thank you for the answer regarding the paint. However, I do have yet another question. At this time I do not want to split the cases on my bike--but I do want to paint them. Can I use a paint remover in order to get rid of the old paint?

Thanks,
Michael
