Last post by 604Paulb - May 04, 2024, 11:47:39 PMI got the impression when I was looking at it that there were a lot of bits that were scavenged. You have pointed out lots I didn't know about so thanks a lot for the input and keen eye!

Last post by SoCal250 - May 04, 2024, 11:32:23 PMThis Holden LX Torana SS rolled in late. Right hand drive and it sounded pretty mean. I dig it.

I met the owner of this '35 truck when I was out on my neighborhood walk about a year ago and he was working on it in his driveway. It's a Factory Five kit that he built in his garage. He decided to paint it the same color as his E46 M3 because he likes the color so much.

Events / Donut Derelicts - May 04, 2024
Last post by SoCal250 - May 04, 2024, 11:00:58 PMI finally made it out to the Donut Derelicts weekly Saturday meet in Huntington Beach. I don't normally go because it's so early in the morning. They start rolling in a little after 5:00am to get parking spots and it's over by 8:00am.
I didn't really decide to commit to going until late on Friday night, so I went bed around 12:30am and was up at 5:00. Ugh. Did a quick wipe down on the trusty old 125 and took off for the show. I was there to grab a parking spot at 5:45.
Parked right in front with the other bikes and then went inside to get some delicious donuts and a big coffee.
(I really needed the coffee!)
I was parked next to this nice Guzzi
A group of 5 guys rode into together on Whizzers.
And I ran into my friend Bill with the RD125 that I had spotted last weekend in Seal Beach.

Last post by SoCal250 - May 04, 2024, 09:30:38 PMInteresting. Looks like someone has made some changes to it over the years.
The tank and front fender appear to be from a RD400F.
The front end looks like it's from a '76-77 model. (You can measure to be sure but those look like 34mm forks, not the 35mm used on the F/G models).
The front wheel is from a '76-77 model and the rear wheel looks like it's from a '78 model.
The brake rotors are '76-78 versions.
The front and rear brake calipers are pre-79. And the one on the rear looks like it was a front one at one point in time based on the badge clocking.
The swingarm is also not from a F or G model, but a '76-78 RD400.
The kickstart lever is from a '76-78 model.
The round Yamaha badge on the left engine cover is not from a RD400 but a RD250/RD350.

Last post by jradnich - May 04, 2024, 05:38:09 PMFinally got the pipe installed. Other non-motorcycle projects got in the way. It wasn't an easy fit, took some heating and bending on the inlet pipe. He didn't send a new stinger or muffler. I ended up making my own stinger. The muffler will take some modifications to work.
