General Chatter / Motorcycle Ramps
February 22, 2021, 12:13:11 PM
I'm looking to buy a motorcycle ramp.  I'd been using a tilting 3 rail trailer for years with my car, but I just got a 3rd Gen Tacoma and need a good ramp to load bikes with. 

The reason I'm asking for opinions here is a lot of us have RD's with chambers, and the last thing I wanna do is use my JL's like a skid plate.  The curved ramps look to mitigate that, but what are y'all using?

I'm also gonna be loading a stupid Harley chopper, so weight capacity is kind of a concern. 

Thanks in advance.

Turning Wrenches / Frame height
September 11, 2020, 08:07:37 PM
I have a request.
I need to know the height of a stock RD 350 with stock tire sizes, from the ground to the bottom of the frame, just forward of the exhaust mounts. 



I'm guessing it's 10.5", just wanted to confirm. 
I'm trying to correct a geometry issue with my bike since going to the Motolanna swingarm.  The shock mounts on the swingarm are further back and the swingarm is about 2" longer than stock.  My bike currently sits lower than stock in the back with this setup... steering is a little slow and I don't have good ground clearance. 



Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any experience with these?  They're gaining popularity in the modern dirt bike market. 
It's more or less a modernized/improved Lectron.  Very trick design.

I was at a dealer expo last weekend and talked to the Vertex pistons rep.  He informed me the original owner of the company just started a vintage parts company specializing in pre-'82 parts, mainly two strokes.
Has anyone here heard or seen this yet?
