Does that mean I lost 10HP when I put one of the small ones in while I repaired my original.
You also gained an air freshener and with all that HP you did not need a tach anymore.

Black and chrome, I wonder what I did with it ??

Hey, is your seat factory..or did you recover it...i

I need to redo my seat in my 65 and I want a stock type appearance.

lol, must be power steering, only I would be stupid enough to put a little wheel on a manual straight axle!!!!

Other than that, my other complaint is that the smaller wheel covers my line of sight to the top half of my speedo and the oil gauge..... the speedo is compounded by my seat that's too tall....

Oh, for the day I can make it all fit together and ride in style...

my speedo is about 20 mph off, so i just watch the tach if im not in traffic, its a weekend cruiser so im either purposly going slow so everyone see's me or have my foot pushed through the floor and the speedo doesn't matter then anyway

I'd sure like to talk you out of the bigger wheel, along with the adapter and horn button. I'm wanting it for my '64, figure I can do without the extra HP.
