Many thanks for the nice words. The Ikons are for better riding. My customers wants these. They work fine.
The spark plug caps are also not original, also for better riding. Also our clutch release, our needle bearing
kit in the swing arm, our ball bearing clutch pusher and some other small mods in the engine.

Rick are you shure with the flat head on the pin? Because I had original bikes they all came with the round heads,
but it's possible that the riders changed anything in the long life of the bikes.

All the best from Germany
Ralf

I am not 100% certain, it would all be down to the frame number off the bike, the round pins normally started with the H1a, your bike also has a H1a seat base on it, so is it possible your bike has a vary late 1970 frame number :think:
