thanks.  I was on his site today and missed them somehow.

anyone chime in whether to grease them or use them dry?

Husqvarna made guns too.

I sent an inquiry to the link on that page, asking about 2 weeks ago and did not hear back.

my stand mounts under the swing arm rather than on the side.

OK, I might not have understood the swingarm change.  Mine is under the swingarm  not on the side.
as I read it, I thought the previous years had the stand somewhere other than the swingarm  I went back and re-read the list of changes and realized that I have the older style underneath.

I have an original 175 JP, of which the MSO states 73, s/n is #302, and the bike had alum fenders, silver hubs, and the kickstand under the swingarm.  It is a non-frame breather.  I also had a #304 (two months later), which had plastic fenders, side of swingarm kickstand, and was a hi-breather.

OK, I have the same case as your original JP.  Thanks for the reply

Thanks Rob:  Despite the title, I have always said it was a '72 like in my sig line.

I went last night.  I liked it a lot.
Thanks Twisted Throttle.
I was going to take my 72 Six-Days, but it was still snowing and I did not want to get calcium chloride all over it from road spray into the open truckbed.

Saw KJD's JackPiner though.  Nice bike:)

72 Six-Days

What a nice offer.  Too bad I have to plow snow for a living, or I'd be all over it.  Thanks

just use a 2X4 and push down on the high side and the opposite on the low side using one side to work against the other.  Very simple.  Ron Carbaugh

Good old fashioned trailside engineering.

Thank you everyone.  Now I can start looking for something that will be period correct.

72 Six-Days

Over 175 views and nobody knows about the tailight question?  Can anyone help here?  Thanks

72 Six-Days

That explains the serial # descrepancy.  I have a MA Title that says it's a 73.

I looked at any pics I could find fron the 40th/10th get together and couldn't see any pics that showed the tail light with a bike having the small dia headlight.
