Thanks to Dave for getting me back on the list. Usually, people get to
know me before I get "bounced off". Anyway I'm signing in with a 1974
LBPD (Long Beach PD) Eldorodo (black). Bike was actioned off from the
department with 33,000 miles. Still had the microphone clip on the
windshield and the button on the handle bars to communicate during "hot
pursute". No siren or colored lights. VIN # 62335. Original sell date is
7/3/74. Left Hermosa Beach in June '84. Rolled into St. Paul about 24
hrs later. Been here ever since. Bike never missed a lick the whole way.
At 42,000 miles I dismantled the bike and started a full refurb. Am an
engineer/machinist. Am able to do most work on my own. Posted a question
regarding flywheel lightening and got a reply from mike leaning towards
leaving it stock. Thanks Mike. I thing I will do that. However, I did
see a picture of heads set up for dual plugs and think I anm going to
try that. Any one have any experience in that department? I said I can
do the work myself, but with only 1 set of heads, I would like someone
else to make the mistakes, if you know what I mean. Also, there is a
Dyna lll ignition on ebay, but I dont think that will help me if I am
going w/dual plugs. Any comments on that?
Thanks,
Ron
