Also, I believe the case spigot opening increased to 99mm with the '76 models. With that, you'd be able to drop onto it just about any cylinder from the later bikes. Without it, you have to modify the smaller opening or do something with the cylinder stub.

Yikes! 30 ft-lbs on a /6?? Surely that's too much and will lead to the studs pulling out. My recommendation is to get to 25, maybe 26 but that's all.

Rear tires appear to be different. Different tires have different diameters and will change the geometry for the side and center stands.

The ad implies that it came off an R100/7. If that's the case, IIRC the rear subframe and mounting points would be the same on a /6 and /7. Probably not for the SWB /5.

Right behind the A10 is "259O". That's a type 259 engine, ie, Oilhead. So, it's a part in the exhaust system of an oilhead.

Metal? Plastic? Flexible? Is it the same width all the way around or does it look like it curves to a rounded point on each end? Maybe another picture/angle...

Haynes says for secondaries: Single coil - 3.7 - 5.3 Kohm Twin coil - 7.5 - 9.15 Kohm ('87-on) Also for '87-on, the primary resistance should be 1.15 - 1.32 ohm. Prior to '87, the singe coil primary resistance is listed as 0.67 - 0.77 ohm. So looks like the secondary resistance of the proposed coil ...

I've always thought that the resistances in the circuits were 5K ohms for each spark plug cap and 5K ohms for each coil (ie, the secondary part). Typically, the reading from one cap to the other should be 20-22K ohms. I suppose some variation is "allowed", but too much could be a problem. ...

Could be a hanging brush in its holder or weak springs on the brushes.
