Years ago I bought a few kits off Cycle Terminal. I beleive they are Yaziki 6.3mm (.250). The problem I'm having is they don't plug into the stock RD sumitomo connectors. Slightly different. I need a female 6 pin. The last one I cut off a stock RD harness and re-pinned it (the one with the 3 white wires), but now I need another.

Anyone got a source or name for a connector they know that fits? I would just replace both with yaziki but it's not an option in this case. And I can't find another harness to cut up atm. Kind of hard to tell from internet pics if they are "compatible". Thanks

A couple weeks back i went to the annual CVMG Paris vintage bike show. I go every year.

This year there were a TON of nice 2 strokes. Many on display and even more riding in. Seems every other person rolling up was on a RD/RZ/LC! I didnt walk around the parking lot to get pics of that lineup, but i did cover the grounds of the show and found a bunch of real nice bikes. Most of them are un-restored, low miles.

I dont really have anyone to show them to (GF doesnt seem to interested ), So enjoy...

Ive got a set of RD400 barrels on the final bore, and a crank that needs a rebuild.

I talked to a place a couple years ago in Mississauga that does banshee cranks (KMM Powersports), didn't ask about the sleeves at the time...

Anyone got a source in Canada (preferably southern Ontario) that can do the work. Ive already got a line on sleeves from Advanced Sleeve.

I always get worried sending parts to an unknown shop...

Whats the general opinion on RD cylinder sleeving anyways? And are Banshee cranks "close enough" to an RD to use the shop? Thanks

Been watching this guy over the past year, finally posted a riding vid. sounds sweet.

Reading some build threads got me thinking... When i bought my bike the tank had a big dent and the lower triple stop was bent. Fixed tank, new lower triple, but what about the frame being straight?

How would one go about measuring such a thing on an RD?
