This thing has been occupying my lift for the past 5 years as I struggled to muster the motivation to finish powder coating the engine following a transmission rebuild (failed 2nd gear). It's 1985 serial # 1170. So happy it's finally done and I can get on to other projects with the luxury of...
My ‘85 only has a stopper on the center stand. The contact spot on the muffler looks like a stopper could be installed, but I don’t think there is supposed to be one there. Feel free to correct me if anyone knows differently.

The material is silicone. I bought both silicone and Viton, but the viton durometer is higher and required a larger installation force than I was comfortable with to get the tube to seat in its...
This nut was in the bag with my oil distribution banjo fittings (between the cylinders), but I cannot remember where it goes and I can't see it in the parts diagrams. Anyone have an idea where this M6x1.0 nut is supposed to go?
