Whelp, I’m a bona fide idiot or my eyes are failing me. I can now see the screw I missed in my own photo! Thanks for the replies.
Yes. I removed the 2 bolts and the main cap. It’s really weird. It’s swiveling near the 4:00 position near the timing gear on the crank. I can’t...

120 for a Tanks brand tank. I am going to re-rout the filler neck regardless so as long as it physically bolts into the same location I’m a happy...

I took some 16 gauge sheet and made a panel that would bridge the tow fenders and again follow the contour of the front hood lip. This panel will...
