Actually, that would more appropriately be a tea kettle!

Lighting, it's interesting to me that your both an English professor and a die maker. Good for you.

I couldn't earn much money teaching, so I became a die maker. Now that I am retired from die making, I am teaching again. My fulltime job, however, is taking care of my five old motorcycles and two wood boats.

Sold my beat up R50/5 and bought this R80/7.

very nice. My undersanding is that the solid black with blue lininig was a Butler & Smith "special" of some sort. Mine is a metallic black. And, you might want to check your valve covers. Looks like the links and rechts might have been swapped.

[georgej]

I've wondered if the valve covers should be black. Links and rechts?

[The_Veg]

Links = left
Rechts = right

Notice that the fins on the cover do not run level- that's the giveaway that they have been swapped.

I see,why would they be swapped? You think they just put them back on wrong after service?

[krehmkej]

That would be my guess. And, by the way, the 78s were originally unpainted. I did paint mine, and the front cover, just because I like tham that way!
