you need to install Bartones this realy cleans things up and give a nice throaty sound to these under powered beauties. Russ

Is there a right or wrong side to install the cleveland brake cylinder ? I've seen them on the front side of the axle and the rear. my friend has a ''B'' model with the single puck brakes in front of the axle. my Ragwing has double puck brakes on the rear of axle. Can he change his to the rear?

I bought my 170 from Bruce Kown in Cartersville Ga. He is very honest and a pleasure to deal with. IF he tells you he can do the job I would believe him. Tell him hi from Russ and his son Mike Murri, Yakima Wa.
