you can do it. not hard.

I'm sure I could, with some help, I just don't have the time. I contacted Ed Toomey from Anderson SC. I think I'm going to take it to him.

Anybody know of someone who can rebuild an engine for me in the southeast. I'm in central NC. I have a 75 250 that was stuck and I have  73 and 74 350 engines I want to put one of those in the top of the 250. Thoughts?

2 different throttles? Seems safe. What could go wrong?

Anyone got a pic? My manual is at the shop with my 250.

Yellow wire 'should' be for the tail/brake light circuit.  Turn signal wires to and from the flasher relay are Brown and Brown/White.  But I can see that 'should' means very little considering the connector on the end. 

Ha! I'll give it a look see tonight. Just put 50 miles on her. Running like a top.

Looks like it's from the flasher unit...

That could make sense considering they don't flash

What say ye?

I stuck with what I know. Hagon Road shocks in black ordered. Thanks for all the replies and info.

Thanks for the info everybody. Much appreciated.

i like the gauges tall/stock actually. I run stock gauges on the 2 stock bikes, but neither have clipons. On the lc hybrid, i machined a triple tree and its complicated but the gauge is still the tallest thing for the most part. then when you lower the gauge, the stem nut is just sticking up there. so one problem is then replaced with another. lol. it snowballs, fast.

another consideration is the cables on aftermarket gauges come out straight vs angled like on some bikes. Just depends. But yes, i have fabbed brackets to lower them, but then the tree looks janky, so you have to address that as well.

just depends what you want really, but just changing gauges for asthetics can be a LOT of work.

👌

any tach or speedo for a kawaski or yamaha will work. they all run the same ratios.

mini speedos tend to be slow responding sometimes in my experience just fyi. also, i feel the tiny gauges just dont look right , but thats just me. mikesxs has lots of options though. https://www.mikesxs.net/gauges-and-instruments.html

What do you use? The problem I have with the stockers is the height. If I install clipons with a nice top yolk I feel they will just stick way out/up. I'm assuming you prolly fabbed a bracket to lower them right? I can most likely fab a bracket but my skills don't touch yours.

I'm looking for a speedo/tach for my RD. I have found some sets but the tach isn't 5:1.  I have found some separately but I want to make sure they match, (backlights and such).

Looking at the pics I posted of my seat it becomes clear my rear shocks are kinda ugly. I have Hagons on my other street bikes which are a great upgrade. What are you guys using and who'd you get them through?
