Newbie here, or maybe not! Let me tell you about my first motorcycle. In 1964 my dad bought me a used 1960 Super 10. I was on top of the world! A REAL motorcycle! My dad and I would ride on some of the back roads in West Virginia as I was to young to have a license. I repainted, rebuilt and repaired just about everything on the bike and I was as proud of it as any motorcyclist could be of there machine. But as some story's have sad endings , I wrecked it, and parted it out. Motorcycles have always been a part of my life and so today I am riding a 2007 ultra glide(geezer glide) and have retired from 30 years of teaching collision repair at a technical school. A couple of years ago I got to thinking about all the good times and good memories I had of my first motorcycle and decided I needed my first motorcycle again. I started looking around on e-bay and such. My old super 10 had a buddy seat and looking around this is not the seat of choice for most, but that is the way I remember my bike. A couple of years ago I saw a buddy seat come up on e-bay and bought it. That was the start of a search for a 1960 super 10. I bought one just a month ago and again am on top of the world! I think buying it brought more joy than the Ultra! The bike is pretty much complete and not sure if I want to restore or just leave as is, as it is in very good original condition . Any way I have a couple of questions and sure I will have more to come. What oil are you all using and what ratio? I used to use just straight 30w oil but I am sure there is something better now a days, and the bike didn't have a wiring harness so I ordered one from Hummer Emporium Vintage Parts. Now I need to know how the wiring is routed around the engine and up by the forks. I am thinking it went between the engine and frame mounts, but that was along time ago and I can't even remember what I ate for lunch. Thanks Rusty Jenkins
