General Discussion / Fresh '65 Homer Restoration« Last post by Chibi62 on March 04, 2024, 05:52:19 PM »After 2.5 years I have finally completed the full restoration on my 1965 Homer 50. I opted for a modern paint theme to include graphite strips. This gem purrs like a kitten.
Chrome - Atlas (Texas) Tires - Michelin 235 (I over sized both and used Michelin over Bridgestone. Much nicer tire). I know it's almost sacrilegious .. Paint - 2 stage Dodge Marine Blue (Base/clear/cut/buff) Spokes - Buchanan https://youtu.be/phuvebjP6rw?feature=shared Thanks to several members on this site for providing me a few hard to locate parts. Onto another bike. Kevin 33

Also, automatic transmission fluid does work well as it is intended for clutches. 37

Replace it with old school plain 30W engine oil and double check the clutch adjustment per the manual (available on this forum). It will probably be OK after a few miles and clutch release/applications.
