Happy Birthday Mark!

I know how you feel.  I had an 18 year old  Lindsay and deaf Pomeranian that we had to put down when he couldn't move by himself and a 14 year old teacup Yorkie that just died on us last year...

I thought you could get spoked 250's and 400's in Europe...

This is handy to have and what I was talking about about - no need to sacrifice a socket.

Universal Socket

I used one of those universal sockets with a bunch of spring loaded pins that conform to the shape of whatever it needs to (mine is actually called a Gator Grip) on a couple of long extensions I have.  It was really low effort not having to compress...

I will have to admit that the color combination is definitely bilious...

You should have used "this" instead of "a" if that purple engine is what you were referring to...

They are trying to charge 98.00 shipping is this the norm

I got a shipping price of $12.xx when I filled in my shipping info on a complete set for '75 RD350...

My condolences.  My dad passed 5 years ago and I still want to take him out to his favorite watering hole...I remember working on our 1965 Mustang convertible together that was gonna be mine when I got my driver's license.  I Later on rebuilt engines and swapped 'em far surpassing simple intake swaps and header installs we did together.

I remember him getting back from out of town, standing at the top of the yard hands on hips as I mowed my way up to him and shut the mower down saying - well?

I said well what?  He said Well where are the keys to the new (1975 RD350) bike ?  I wanna ride it!  He came back with a big grin on his face...

Thank you for your contributions to motorcycling and especially your RD heads that have been improved upon and bought by a few of us...

You may want to try wintergreen oil and acetone or xylene mixture to soak the yboot carb ends in for a while to make it very pliable and then stretch over the PWK's - that worked for my 28's.

Glad you're ok...

Makes me glad I got my TracDynamics 350 +1" back in the day - although health reasons have prevented me from working on the build...

The only negatives were about the misrepresentation of time to deliver...
