You'll note that only the door on the passenger side of the cab locks. This was evidently the case on base model Ford Trucks at least through 1960. Some say it was California and other states rules that did not allow one to exit or egress from vehicles parked on roadways (parallel parking), which would place the driver in the lane of travel. Good luck. Narragansett Bay

These old Jap bikes? Drop the float bowls, clean the tank, new battery and fresh plugs. Don't forget an oil change and this bike will fire right up. Everybody knows the old Honda acronym: Harley Owners Need Dependable Alternatives My 1981 cb900f made it Coast to Coast and all it needed was a new chain.

Great job. I bought a 2004 Vulcan Classic 1500 this year. These bikes are great. Love riding it. I put 8K miles on it this year. I ride as often as possible, even take it to work a couple days a week. Can't wait to see what you do to clean up some of the Chrome. I have some corrosion on some parts and need some pointers on how to clean it up.

v-образные моторы это уже давно анахронизм, на заре мотостроения эта схема позволила дёшево поднять мощность добавив второй цилиндр используя запчасти от одноцилиндровых двигателей, защита американским правительством от зарубежных конкурентов компании Харли-Давидсон позволило десятилетиями выпускать эту неэффективную схему. Харли-Давидсон смогли сделать из бага фичу и эти неустойчивые моторы вошли в моду, этот Кавасаки - технологическое подражание, позор высокотехнологично повторять неэффективную схему только ради моды, помимо прочего эту схему неудобно обслуживать.

following this strange logic of yours, then also the v6, v8, v12 of noble car manufacturers, are they wrong engines? The v2 in line, allows for a two-cylinder of narrow dimensions (like a mono) offering less aerodynamic resistance. And if you like straight six cylinders, that's another matter .... But the honda cbx or the Kawa z 1300, they were not very graceful and manageable motorcycles ....

​@@Daniel-nh8qn v6 и v8 по эффективности оправданные схемы для грузовиков, v12 - оправданная эффективность только для гигантских судовых и тепловозных двигателей потому что большие нагрузки на изгиб коленчатого вала должны быть поддержаны размером детали, рядный двухцилиндровый двигатель жидкостного охлаждения - самое эффективное решение для мотоцикла-круизёра, лобовое сопротивление в данном случае несущественно, для гонок лучший мотоцикл будет иметь рядный четырёхцилиндровый двигатель жидкостного охлаждения, эндуро - одноцилиндровый, для автомобиля эффективна рядная четвёрка, хотите быть самым быстрым - вам нужен электромобиль со всеми ведущими колёсами, хотите скоростную машину для дальних поездок - постройте по тепловозной схеме: бензиновый или дизельный двигатель вращает электрогенератор а колёса имеют электропривод. американские мотоциклы Харли-Девидсон просто модные, они неэффективны, японские подражания чуть лучше с точки зрения эффективности но они смешны. п.с. дюймовый крепёж - это зло. )

@@unokarpa4405 They are points of view .... The V engines (from 45 ° to 180 °) are also installed on racing cars that run at very high revs. Ferrari Porsche AMG, Audi Lamborghini all have V engines. But if effective, you mean cheaper and easier to produce engine, you are right. The ducati gp, the honda Gp, have V-engines and I don't think they are inefficient ... the in-line four cylinders usually lag behind and if they are close it is only because they give the ignition timing irregular just like a 4v (big bang yamaha) ... If you travel with a big air-cooled V2 in the summer in the heat, a trip can become very annoying due to the heat between your legs, with the water-cooling problem partially solved. Harleys are certainly in fashion, but they are also excellent cruising motorcycles, with their flaws, but with a personality that other bikes do not have and never will have .... then they are undoubtedly beautiful (especially those up to a decade ago). .. For inch bolts ... they are simply made in the USA ... and each state has its own rules and regulations ... but one buys the motorcycle for the emotion .... for the rationality you buy a refrigerator ...

however I have a VN1500 if since 1990 with which I have traveled all over Europe. It has always worked very well. A fifth gear would be needed, it consumes a little oil, but it has always given me good emotions .... Perhaps other cruisers were more aesthetically pleasing, but the performance of the VN1500 with two carburetors remains unmatched ...

The rear carb probably needs the float removed and the needle valve most likely has debris in it, take it out and flush it with brake cleaner and a little compressed air. With the amount of rust in that tank it wouldn't surprise me and stale fuel varnishes up internals quite badly.
