Thanks Filippo, everyone on this forum (including you) are great motivators. Watching everyone progress and create beautiful machines is a real privilege. I'm always looking forward to checking on the Forum everyday. Some amazingly talented people on here that are willing to share! Thanks for the offer Mike, on this bike it needs to be slotted, I'll figure it out. Just takes some time as usual. Some things are just getting harder to source. Lou

Hi Lou...
The closest I could find. A little wider, but you know what to do. I think who ever choose those screws, unintentionally played a cruel joke.
Flattop.
By the way, what are they used for?

Thanks Flattop, I use screws like that. They were used for the upper fairing. No problem, they'll come up eventually. Lou

Thanks Mike and Flattop. I agree on it being more 'period' correct. Found some oil in the fairing. Leak from the tach drive and the horizontal valve cover. Replaced the o-ring and seal on the tach drive and the gasket on the valve cover. No more oil so far. Cleaned up the engine a bit and she looks good. Ready for the fairing. Also, I am looking for a gold colored aluminum screw/bolt as shown in the picture. Name your price if you have a couple of new ones lying around! Thanks. Lou

Found the needed screw in my parts! I spoke to the original owner of this bike last weekend. He ran the number 43 in CCS so figured it was the right thing to do. He was so pleased, he located some original Citicorp decals he had on the windscreen and sent them to me today. Can't wait to put them on. A small thing but easy and rewarding. Lou

Hi Forum, maybe someone out there can help. I am looking for a pair, or one if possible FBF decal as seen in the picture (upper fairing red/white/blue). Any help would be appreciated and compensated! Thanks. Lou

Hi Lou....
The only thing I found with that type of sticker. Going back a little way.

Thanks Flattop, I'll keep searching. I have some time before the Symposium. I was able to get the Citicorp decals from the original owner who had a 40 year old pair, and sent them to me! I stuck on some white number plates over the yellow euro plates. The bike was raced in CCS (Championship Cup Series) back in the day with the 43. Never ends. Lou
