Don,

=20

Your recommendation for H-D kit took me back many years to when I reported
to the list - or was it someone else (?) that two domed and plated nuts an=
d
oil proof washers off the Honda Gold Wing were ideal substitutes to the
factory fitted hardware that appeared on all the valve covers.=20

Talking of the Gold Wing, I recall following one with two people on it whe=
n
I did the Tail of the Dragon in TN in 2009 in a Stag. At the time, I felt
and said to the video camera I had running that pushing a concert-sized
grand piano along that stretch of road would have been far easier for the
pushers than riding a huge bike of that type.
