Last I heard, he had replaced the tires, wheels, drive belt, turn signal bulbs and the left side fork lower, and it still would turn over but not start and wouldn't crank. He's waiting on new handgrips and a luggage rack to see if either of those may help.

Actually, all luggage racks are made in China now. There's a city in China named USA, so, they all say "Made in USA"

Actually, that's not entirely untrue. There was a city somewhere, maybe Japan, and it might have been called US or something.

Be sure to pull one of the spark plug wires and stick your tongue inside it while hitting the starter button to confirm that the new one is good.
