Re: led tail lights
I have the United in 6 volt. They fit the original stock lens cover like a glove but I had to grind the repop cover on the right tail light to fit the lens. I love to see the red glow on the faces...

Re: Tires
I bought Universals from Mike's here in Georgia. New tubes too, as the ones ones that came with the car had many patches on them. The tires were $85 each six months ago.

Re: Weight capacity? Hauling Harley.
I suspect your weight calculations may be a bit off. My stock 1981 Lowrider tips the scale at 615 pounds, electric start and all. My 1970's style 48 Pan TT bike (Tavern to Tavern) is 481 pounds.

Re: Slow leaking tire tubes

Re: Rear Window Curtain to Roller Attachment
Howdy CarlG. It's not a short length of wire. It runs the entire length of the tube, same as the fabric width. Sorry for the 1/16" length. Should have said length of 1/16".
