Re: Total 400 hour resto on my 1984 Gyro Pics !

Hi guys, I am redoing a 84 Gyro and need the little battery COVER (not the battery box). It was OEM part number: COVER, BATTERY 31506-GK0-000 and fits 84 models.
Do you have one for sale?. If so I'll pay IMMEDIATELY via PAYPAL for it. Thanks,

I spent well over 400 hours rebuilding every single part including taking the motor apart, and over 100 hours on plastic work and paint preservation. The i...
