Thanks to all who responded to my wanted AD.....got what I needed, and more! Looking for a '72 style kickstand. I could rebuild mine but if someone has a nice one that I could possibly just sand, paint and install that would be great.
Thanks again,
Sam

Sorry to say that I must have every other puller but the one you need.

Hi Rick,
If you can tell me the exact size and thread pitch I may be able to help you out. I used to own a motorcycle shop and have lots of pullers.

I saw your post offering x-port in case Dale and I make a deal. I'm in Minnesota, where are you?
Thanks,
Sam

I'm getting misty-eyed thinking about a new bike.

Well, as I see it, you could be further away....
Have any good pictures that you could send me? And of course the $$$.

Hi All,
Three questions today....
#1 I need to touch up my frame (73 Jackpiner), what "spray bomb" is closest or maybe exact? #2 What are the correct clamps to use for the tool bag mount over the rear fender? #3 What engine paint should I use on my '76 250 MC5?
Thanks in advance... LOTS of knowledge out there!

Hi Guys,
Anybody have a used or well used rear fender tool rack and tool bag that they are willing to part with? I don't want new stuff or the rest will look "old". Also the tank strap has two (I'll call them slots) cut into it that must have been for a tool bag as well. Anything out there for that as well?
Best way to reach me is by phone @ 952-237-0567.
Thanks,
Sam

Thanks to Mike Winter my "new" Jackpiner has made it's way from NY to Newton, Illinois. I'm wondering if by chance there might be someone making the drive between IL and MN that may have some extra room.
 
Thanks,

Hi All,
Well, the fever just set in. Just got a '76 MC5 that came to me in several boxes and the project it's well underway. The problem is that I feel the need for a Jackpiner too. Couldn't afford one as a kid so maybe now. Looking for one that's complete, not running is Aok. Not in a big hurry and willing to drive (I'm in MN).
Thanks,
Sam
