Re: Instrument shrouds
Over the years I've found that a trickle of water can accumulate at 6 o'clock on the dial face and a little may seep down and eventually the soft metal circumference strip deteriorates. With that in mind, I'd be inclined to try some silicone from 4 to 8 o'clock.

Re: 90/6 ignition switch/key, and indicators
That's a /5 type key/instruments/headlight. 90/6 had separate speedo and tacho, Key into the left side of the headlight?

Re: Pushrod towers leaking
It's a beautiful bike ZM. Good to see you're stilling using it. The last time my left boot had oil spraying onto it, the oil pressure switch was the culprit. Messy, but a cheap and fast fix. An oil switch leak isn't likely to stop when warm though. I topped up 200ml after 200km! (100+100) My left b...

Re: R75/5 blowing fuses when starting
Thanks. Timing was correct and it failed to blow a fuse when the harness was bypassed and when plugs were removed. So, I decided to go back to a poor or bad ground. My good friend and fellow Canadian biker Brett suggested that I replace the ground from the battery to the transmission. After much se...

Re: Brake Pad Retaining Clip gone...
Remove your squealing pads and examine their backing plates VERY closely, you'll see a shiny spot somewhere on the backing plate where it contacts the caliper. This shiny spot, however small, is where there is metal to metal contact (pad to caliper) and is causing the squeak. Lightly chamfering the...
