Thanks Mark!

A friend asked me for help with his Yamaha HT1 - a bike that I know little about.  The electrical system is 6 volt. The battery is dead.  The Yuasa replacement is 6N2-2A.  Does anyone know of an AGM or alarm-type battery in 6 volts that works for an HT1?  The battery is small and it fits in a tight space.  An even slightly larger battery won't fit in the stock location.

Thanks, Mike

He called me too. I ordered a set nearly a year ago, figured he forgot or would not get around to making them.

If he's lucky he kept his head off the pavement.

Looks great!

I don't know the answer to your question but that sucks!

My set lasted about a year before they started to rust.  I sanded the rusty spots down a few times and touched up with high-temp clear coat, then eventually sanded them completely and painted them black. Because Mick Jagger said.

Oxford! Do you have or are you planning to make anymore VM30 carb adapters?

For starters, I met Andrew with his Deals Gap shirt. I said "they are there" this weekend, then he realized I was talking about the 2 stroke guys. Silly me, I thought 2 strokers ruled Deals Gap!  Andrew rides a 2016 50th Anniversary R1.  I said "Oh, that's the one with the Kenny Roberts paint job, right?"  He didn't know who Kenny Roberts is.  I guess I am getting old!

Typically I am the sole 2-stroke rider at Bikes and Coffee in Honolulu. That was true today as well but there were some other interesting bikes!  Paulo and his son rode Japan import VFR400's - 1992 and 1994 models. Paulo also has a 2 stroke project at home in his garage, either an R5 or DS7.

We rode down to Lagoon Drive, next to Honolulu Airport for pictures.  A guy on a Triumph Tiger saw the KH400 and followed us. When we parked, Jake told us he just moved here from Japan and he has a couple of 2 strokes. I believe he said one is a KX500 which is street legal then another is a 50cc Kawasaki.  I'm looking forward to seeing his bikes.  Jake is in the Air Force, he's the big guy in the photos.

$6,000 seems optimistic.

Keep posting more pics!

Two stroke heaven.

Thanks for the pics!

Mike- thank you so much for the Hawaiian Chocolate Macadamia Nuts!  Everyone always enjoys your generous gift each year at the Gap! 

Glad you're enjoying the Macadamia nuts!

Thanks for the pics!
