side stand, footpegs and speedo arm questions
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2013 3:02 pm
I just recently acquired a 1973 750GT that has been modified quite a bit so as I am trying to sort out some minor items and I am not sure what is stock or not so here goes:
1. The bike has springloaded rider footpegs that look just like those shown on page 103 of Ian Falloon's "Bible". Can anyone confirm if the original pegs were indeed spring loaded and if they know a source for replacement springs or entire footpeg assemblies?
2. The bike came with an uninstalled sidestand which I would like to install. The two bolts that hold the front or top of the sidestand frame are pretty easy to figure out but I am not sure about how best to attach the lug underneath that lines up with a large engine case bolt. On page 27 of the 750 spare parts catalog it shows only a nut (part # 91.070) suggesting there is a stud to mount the bottom lug to. There is no such lug on my bike so I am wondering if anyone has success in mounting a sidestand and how you handled that mounting point?
Thanks for any ideas or insight.
