1957 Huntmaster tank knee pads
Wanting to replace my 57 Huntmaster tank knee pads but can't seem to discover how they are held on to the tank. I have prized the edges away but can't seem to discover any fixtures or fittings that hold them on to the tank. The Draganfly website shows a metal surround and the front of the rubber pad...

Re: 1957 Huntmaster wiring
Thanks for all of your helpful replies. As the headlight bulb is an LED, with that on plus brake light, the current drawn is only about half an amp which deflects to the left, negative side of the scale. That tells me the ammeter is wired correctly but the rising negative amperage as road speed incr...

Re: 1957 Huntmaster
Thanks for all of your help. Will find the fibre plug and restrict it somehow. I don't think it is gearbox oils as it is a nice shade of black! Steve

The bike goes very well but the lub oil supply to the chain seems excessive as a large pool builds up under the chain guard after a run. Could someone tell me how reduce the oil supply to the chain please? The handbook states t...
