[13mm OR 1/2"]

this is an adapter for a blue or gold dot caliper to be used on aircooled rd250/350/400 front forks. use at own risk. Mine is made of 6061 aluminum. you will need to run an fzr600 or like rotor, and make a **EDIT**13mm OR 1/2" spacer behind the rotor. (center of a stock rd rotor hat also works)

this is a link to the zip file which contains a .dxf of the main adapter.  https://2strokeworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/brakeadapter-r6-rd-v4.zip

i would recommend a MINIMUM thickness of 3/8" no bigger than 1/2" feel free to take the linework and modify to suit your cosmetic needs.

I JUST have the adapter in DXF format available. Any decent machine shop can get this cut, or water jet or laser shop.

This is MY file, do NOT copy and make as batch and sell for a profit, please.  This is strictly for personal use for projects.  If you do, and i find out, i will expose you and any personal data i have on you for the dirtbag you are.  You have been warned.

You will have to fit and finish the part yourself.

we need a pipe ID thread again. So... post up what you have or know. Make sure its accurate.


Torque Engineering pipes. Rare, loud, heavy, good on stock porting.

Can run centerstand.

My craigslist bike, from a post on here (old site) actually. grabbed it in '13. I love this thing. as bought:







there was some minor wiring and charging issues, got all that fixed.






went through and did a motor rebuild. was pretty cut and dry.






repainted frame, fit some tires, rebuilt forks, put on some heavier rear shocks for my fat ass. .  Tried keeping the injector system but the 3 pumps i had (2 bought) all seeped. So went premix.



took it on the distinguished gentlemans ride in 2015.

as it sits today. that front fender was NOT easy to find.

Its a 4 speed, has the "rotary shift of death" pattern (n-1 down, 2 down, 3 down, 4 down, n down, repeat). max is about 60-62mph. super fun.

wasnt sure whether to stuff this in the 'other' ebay thread, but maybe somebody here thinks this is worth the money. I dont, i think hes about 2-3k over realistic. Is that an XS650 tank?  all that and the stock turnsignlas.

Posting this for Lyn Garland, looks awesome:


This is about an event sponsored by Barber and WERA in conjunction with the WERA race on the weekend of 29 June.  It should be pretty interesting.  I am trying (hoping) to get my Spondon 350 and my TR3 prepared for the event.

So, i have a '14 honda grom. its a dumb fun little money pit. I bought it black, then changed the body set to white for a few years, and this weekend decided to mount the red set i have. Its a 170 4v big bore with a ridiculous amount of modifications. 

Anyway, they have issues with cam chain components when you hot rod them, and they make the upgraded adjuster, etc. However, in true 4 stroke fashion, it decided to eat the idler wheel in the cylinder. found chunks of it (rubber outer wheel) in the oil this go around of an oil change i did when i swapped the body work, so i have to tear the head off and replace the wheel while im in there im going to shave the cyl (deck it) about .015" to jack up the compression a  hair.

here it is in red:

please send me a PM. Some i know who you are, others not sure as paypal doesn't give user names.  thanks! And, as always, very much appreciated.  -Mark

picked this one up about 1 year ago, was sitting in somebodys dirty garage, budyd of mine scouted it for me and snagged it. It got dubbed the mini banana. lol.

i did do a repaint of the tank and sidecovers and replace the decals (from diablo cycles, yes they had them)



it is an absolute hoot. I ported it a tiny bit and will hit 60 in it, book rates it at 54mph max speed. even have chambers but they actually hurt the top end but helped the mid.  either way, its a lot of fun. and.. it actually doesnt do too bad 2 up. (i tested it with the -tiny- GF, we actually hit 50mph on it, to my surprise)

tiniest carbs.. vm16s
(heres one next to a t500 vm32)







as i got it:

Christmas day ride, 2018.  Man this thing runs sweet. (chucks porting does wonders  )




was testing out the V Force reeds and making sure the 3-d printed tailight held up. white sip ties were until epoxy dried holding led strip in.

Mine, on the blue ridge last year.




picked this up, new as a '14 holdover for 6400 bucks. hard to beat for the $

some detail shots. the marketing pics dont do it justice.





after i reconfigured the plate bracket and moved the horns

[PLEASE READ. VIOLATION CAN AND WILL GET YOU BANNED IF NEED BE.]

PLEASE READ. VIOLATION CAN AND WILL GET YOU BANNED IF NEED BE.

There are only a couple of big rules that apply to these forums:

1) No porn!  No Not Work Safe (NWS, NSFW) images.  Period.  End of story.  If you post anything that falls under this category, you will be banned.  If what you post is questionable, the moderators decision on it is final.

2) No Drama!  If you have a beef with someone, take it up in PM, or talk to a moderator/admin.  Poking fun and joking around with/about someone is fine.  Calling people out because they piss you off on the internet is not fine and creates drama.  Also, no racism or homophobic comments, this isnt 1940.  Drama is usually not a bannable offense on the first instance.  If you keep it up, it certainly will become bannable for you.


A couple of other things to remember:

-NO Politics: Just dont do it! Hate Democrats?  Cant stand Republicans?  Thats great, but this is a motorcycle forum.  Political discussion not relating to motorcycles will get you subjected to moderation (at the moderators discretion)

- Please treat everyone with courtesy and respect.  We are all adults here, lets act like it.  There are plenty of places on the internet to go and flame people or act like a dick.  This isn't one of them.

- Dont post drunk/high.  Just because you're loaded isn't an excuse to act like an ass here.  Coming back the next day and saying "sorry, i was drunk, lol" wont cut it.  From here on out, anyone caught posting drunk/high will be probated or banned, depending on what they did. We don't have breathalyzers, so we'll make the determination with the subjective info we have, in lieu of scientific proof.

- Dont post peoples personal info here.  Did you get screwed over on eBay or something similar?  Feel free to say "Avoid this seller", but dont post their personal info, like their real name, address, phone number, etc.  We aren't some pitchfork wielding posse here to right the wrongs of the internet.  Just dont do it.

SIDE NOTE: No karma ratings will be used. PIA and nobody really liked them. IF you have an issue, reach out to the moderation team or me.

biggest rule:

DONT BE AN ASSHOLE. We all have different levels of expertise, be considerate of this, none of us came out of the womb knowing everything. Except Chuck Norris, and hes not on here.

Enjoy the forum!!

-Mark
