Take your originals & soak them in ArmorAll for a few days.
See if they soften.
I have also soaked them in brake fluid.
They soften up, then soak in ArmorAll after.

General Chatter / Decals or Stickers
Last post by Milan - Today at 04:23:26 PM
There are a few sellers on Ebay selling the decal sets for RZ's, TZR's RD500, etc.
And some other sites as well.

Anyone have any experience with the quality of these.
They can be priced drastically different.

I kinda like that MZ. Even though it looks like 1970's school AV equipment.

That front fender would protect you from land mines.

Turning Wrenches / Ebay Carb Boots
Last post by Erik the Bike Man - Today at 02:48:37 PM
Just got my '71 R5 back together after sitting blown up for almost 6 years.  Failed a leakdown test with TONS of air dumping out the intake boots.
These are the cheapo boots off ebay.
Spent a couple extra bucks on the ones that EconomyCycle carries.  The originals I have show zero signs of dry rot, but they are hard as a rock.

Ah, that is good news. Much appreciated!

4mm Banshee cranks have got soooo cheap, it's extremely tempting to try and mod to fit them. I'm finishing up another motor at the moment, but I think I'll have to investigate as my next project. I've got some tatty old cases to throw at the cause.

cyl spacing IS the same center to center. you can get a stroker rd crank done though

They're definitely a bit wider, I'm hoping to find out if the cylinder spacing is the same. Keeping my eyes peeled for a junker banshee crank that I can do some proper measuring with in the meantime.

Ta!
