General Chatter / Re: Best motorcycle lift?
December 23, 2025, 07:50:44 PM
Quote from: X-Man on December 13, 2025, 02:22:27 PMI too have the HarborMart cycle lift with the good upgraded front wheel chock. Yes the foot pump is annoying but it works. I wonder if the air/hydro cylinder works for it?

X-Man, try Googling Redline Motorcycle lifts. They sell a hydraulic pump for SOME of the H/F Tables. I've seen lots of U Tube videos of people adapting hyd pumps but it seems there's always a lot of fabrication. These are made for some H/F tables so maybe you can figure out if they fit your table. Or that the fabrication part will be minimal. Good luck.
They're NON returnable so pick wisely.

Thank you SoCal for the advice. Just learning from all of you. Hopefully I will get it running soon.

Thank you guys. That helps me a lot in choosing the correct carbs. The manifolds in the parts bin don't have that top collar to install the connecting tube between both. Is that needed to run ?

Thanks for all the advice. Found the original RD 400 wire harness and most of all the needed electrical parts. I do have a problem selecting the correct carburators from a box of about 8 of them.
Can someone post a picture of the correct carb so I can choose ? Do both have a choke lever or just the left hand side one with some type of connecting bar to the right one??

Yes m, the motor is a completely stock rebuild.
I'll definitely get it started with a premix just to be sure. Then i'll make sure pump is working correctly. Maybe further down the line I'll get information on either a hpi or vape system.
Thanks again for the insight.

Thanks Blue for pointing out that parts fiche. The picture is pretty explanatory of the parts I need.
When I figure out how to post pictures I will.

Thank you all for the great ideas. Maybe I'm making it worse, but my concern is where the original electrics were mounted on the FZ and in the RD and what do they look like, as I have a box full of mixed items, so I can sort the pieces that I have.
Any ideas will help as I am new at this. Thanks again.

As I mentioned in prior post. I am putting a fresh rebuilt 1976 RD 400 in 88 FZ600U frame. Motor mounts are all done. One problem is I have a box of electricals from both bikes and don't know which is for what or where they go. If anyone can help me sending a picture of these items on a RD400 frame it would definitely help figuring which ones belong to the RD. Thanks.

Hi. I'm new here, joined in the hope to get some help and hopefully learn a lot about 2 strokes. I inherited a 88FZ600 with a 76 RD400 newly rebuilt, never started motor. I believe this will turn out to be a fun build and a very nice, different bike to ride around in.  I was hoping for your expertise in getting me a list of the electrical parts I'm going to need. Don't have much experience in 2 strokes except riding dirt bikes. Have 2 street bikes, 4 strokes which I have been doing all the mechanical work for. The bike has the wiring harness, which I know will have to be adapted.
So battery, coils, fuse box, points, condenser, reg/rectifier (?), 2 stroke oil tank.
I'm sure there's something else I need. Thank you for your time.
When I figure out how to post pictures I will.
