No one has mentioned yet the availability of GOOD QUALITY 6v replacement parts such as bulbs, batterirs etc.
My 48 chief remained 6v for 40 year. Some 3 yeats ago the replacement batterys became extremely poor quality. I have enuf 6v parts atound here to build at least 6 more bikes. BUT I NEVER COLLECTED BATTERY! Foolish me. So i was forced to 12v.
Remember, much of the aftermarket NOW is harbour fright quality. It ain'nt 1985 anymore.
