I'd like to have that primary cover. I have 58 that had been converted to look like a 65 many years ago, I bought the bike and replaced the saddle bags to give it a more 58ish look.

Nice looking bike. I see that you have 2 accessory indicators. One for turn signals and the other for your passing lamps?
sorry i dont see a 65 in the picture you said bags they are 58 - cam cover 58 - voltage regulator 6 volt 58 - the oil tank and filter metal lines is 6 volt - no electric start - kicker cover is 58 - what did the conversion entail other then the tank badges
Here's the bike as delivered, sort of the 65 look, I almost forgot to answer the question on the indicator lights, you had it right, one is for the turn signal which is actually a great reminder for me and the other is for the spot lights, all indicators and lights work perfect after a total re-wiring of the bike. The bike runs great and the only issue is the rear cylinder intake lifter bleeds down after getting super hot (I have a replacement to be done soon)

Reason: added description of indicator lights
I shot a pic of those gauges, one is a SW 0-80psi oil gauge which actually isn't connected right now because if you look closely I have mounted a Summit Racing brand 0-15psi gauge that has a ball valve that I turn on once the oil is fully heated and within the 15psi limit of the gauge (in hot weather this is 15 minutes), the other gauge that is in question is a vintage Harley ammeter.
Howzit, I have a 62 Pan Shovel custom in which I run a belt primary drive. Having snapped a belt once, I wondered how to have a belt tensioner, this would enable me to replace it on the side of the road. Previously I had to be picked up by a truck and taken 500kms home at great expense.

Do you run a belt in the primary
