reach out to vitos, they can probably do a drop-in crank 4mm stroked

cyl spacing IS the same center to center. you can get a stroker rd crank done though

a very 'dog in the manger' attitude.

thanks wade!. the zip tie on the bar actually bothers me. (old man mode engaged)

I have an idea.....

i mean, that sucks but also fuck them for pitching the moulds into the dumpster, that was a shitty move.

I haven't bought anything from airtech in many years, glass from the past has been my go-to.

So, i had a generic switch on the lc for headlight control. wasn't great as the switch was down, low beam, middle, off, up high beam. there was a definite delay from low to high and was kind of fiddly. didn't like it.  :huh:

. that being said, i used to run an r5 switch, and saved it. way back, i used the horn button hole to house a neutral light. i found that in the switch box, took it apart, and completely rewired it. cleaned contacts, hit it w matte clear, and added a 2-way momentary on switch with 'up' now working 'set' on the daytona gauge, and 'down' being mode. it centers automatically so, was perfect for this application and actually fit in the housing with a slight massage of the housing.

also needed to replace the 8" headlight bucket as the plastic housing cracked over time and needed to go. went (back) with one of the economy cycle/emgo headlights with an auxito led.

does the lever have free-play when the choke is 'off'? if not it may be hanging open a hair. if the lever was put in int he wrong order or the 2 lifting tabs are bent, it can do this. you should be able to 'rattle' the ever around a tiny bit w out moving the plunger. if not, that may be an issue. .02
