'71 650


The Bonneville is back together now and running pretty good - no more oil leaks around the cylinders (so far). Now it just needs some good adjustments...ahh, those pesky twin carburetors.

Nice, I wonder how long you'll be leak free... Best of luck, but these had vertically split cases, right? Oof. Still, cool machine.

hey brady - ''I wonder how long you'll be leak free''...im thinking not long enough. youre right about the vertically split cases, supposedly cause a lot of the oil leak issues.
