Do you mean always while the bike is stored or when warming it up? Having it parked or stored the the clutch always released would weaken the springs unnecessarily.

I have always had trouble getting my clutch plates to release after sitting for a while. The bike is very low miles, under 3000. In the past I have ridden around the block holding in the clutch while jabbing the throttle and the rear brake or doing the same on the center stand. I hated the process ...

I'm a big guy 6'2" and 240 lbs and the little 160 is not something I bought to ride often. It has under 3000 miles and therefore never worn out the tires. I'll take it for a short buzz around the neighborhood and that's about it. I have a restored 305 dream. It has the newer wide whites on in ...

Cuz I go ride this instead.

Does anyone make whitewalls that match the originals? All I find are much wider than came on my 66. I'm still riding on the factory tires and getting a little scary out there.

Originals are shown in picture.

Very nice. Bike is gorgeous. Are you going to ride it? Always hard to blue up a new chrome pipes.
