General Chatter / Re: Look what somebody did to ...
Last post by m in sc - April 30, 2024, 04:57:55 PMto quote Tommy boy:
" I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it."

The title of the article says it's "rolling art" though.

Looks like a 4LS drum, they are not cheap....the carbon fender doesn't go with it as well as an aluminum one would.....or the primer for paint...or the....hopefully it has a rear drum to match, if it's a disc, that's definitely wrong.
Edit...I guess it is a drum...now that I see more pics..
I'd like those brakes on my TM/TS400 project

Last post by m in sc - April 30, 2024, 12:03:02 PMi forgot that point and you are correct!. later ones had a 7 disc, whereas early ones had a 6 disc. even a 6 dic setup is ok using fz1000 plates though.

Last post by RDnuTZ - April 30, 2024, 12:01:14 PMany possibility of difference in clutch in 1974? I think I remember (no guarantee there!) the guy told me that was beefier when I pushed him to detail reasons the 74 was "best".
I have a 1973 RD250 Blue w/ White tank stripes and badges that is totally stock that just might get pushed to the front of the project line when everything finally comes home from storage this Summer
I'm basically starting over on all this stuff after diving into VMX full time 20 years ago. The 250 is the simplest of the bikes I have and will be training project trying to re-acquire all the necessary skills before moving on into 1 of my 74 350s and possibly tackle the 1KT TZR250R- unless I decide to sell it.
