I feel for you! I had to put mine through an emission test where they floored it from idle to governor four times in a row. I thought I'd strangle the dude.
Was useless anyway. Turns out, it indeed had emissions. Blew a solid 70 on the 100 point scale. Needs to be below 55 to pass. Another...
This is an easy fix.
You need three new parts:
Window channel front
Window channel rear
Wiping lip across the top
Before ordering, check the window regulators. If you need clips or new regulator, now is the time to order!
The OEM ones are metal with a cloth lining. The new ones are plastic...
I would really like to take my Deuce to an event in the US but I am very, very reluctant to take it out of my jurisdiction. It is not only crossing the border, it is also silly things such as IFTA yes/no and commercial vs. personal registration that may work ok in my area but can raise a very...

It is tight and the steering box is in the way. Can you remove the injection pump end of the hose and then get an exacto knife up there to slice the hose off the pushLok fitting? You can't install the new hose that way, but it would give you more room to get a crow's foot wrench or similar up...
You are right regarding the oil pan having two deeper areas with the recess for the axle in between them. That is different than having two complete separate sumps. Consider that, when the right amount of oil is in the pan, the oil level is quite a bit above the height of that recess. so it does...
I ran SAE 80/90 gear oil in my transmission and it worked. No issues but harder to shift when the weather got cold. I now run SAE 40 non-detergent and it works better.
If the batteries are significantly discharged , the little 25A generator has a hard time charging. Maybe charge the batteries with a proper charger and then reassess.

Karl!!!
Go get the 10 rims!
