Off the table and more problems to be addressed Shovel head Blues

Switched a 4spd of 35yrs not shifting right, and installed a sputhe 5spd and its not shifting like i want, new Rivera clutch $500 bucks.

Was no fun switching trannys, work intensive. Rode it a bit and it seemed to do better, shifted a bit better but hard to shift, and the clutch seems to be releasing, its a shovel with a sealed primary.

Front tire had 12lbs, took it to 43lbs now head shake low speed, i brought the rake back in on it, it has adjustable rake aftermarket trees. GRRRRRR.

Back on the table the rear chain is tight, mmm, maybe that contributes to the problem, we shall see, any suggestions. ?

Good luck to you, I would not have the patience or the expertise. I know my limitations.

Thanks for the luck. I built this from 75 to 77 soooo Ive had patience that has run out a time tor two. Now instead of being mad, im disappointed, i don't mind working on stuff, but i like a happy ending, no pun intended, wink, wink. Best to ya.

You want patience, try pulling all that plastic off that wing to service it, you will find your bottom i bet.
