Damn Warren.  Fantastic.

I've done the opposite, my 350 has a 400 DG swinger.  That totals 2" over...

When I made the required bushings, I made several should anyone need one. 

Scott Clough Racing SCR did mine.  Get his ORing option...

It was my first time and it was great. But, it's definitely overwhelming if you have no wheels with you. There was a golf cart rental stand for $720 all weekend. Yeah... nope.

Pit bike, moped, tiddler....

For sale I think I spotted 5 R5/DS7, 7 RD350, and no 400's other than a roadside Daytona.  Also 1 125, and some nice older Yamahas such as matching green high pipe 250's and many older ones that I can't ID on site.

Next year I'll try to remember to do a photo montage with prices... I'm guessing the Midwest numbers are different than other geo's...

I mean I saw that rd125 and it was nice I guess, but was it $3200 nice? That's what a nice RD350 goes for.

I just sold my RD200 for $3000 and IMO think it a nicer, better bike than that particular 125.  But I did like the 125.

As for "bargains" I didn't see too many.  One that had me eyeballing was a Honda SL350 that seemed tired but all-there for $500 iirc.

Well the vacancy in my garage didn't last long.

At Mid Ohio VMD this weekend, my camp-neighbor rolled in with a few bikes and a few mopeds.  One of the mopeds he had won on EBay for $1.25 (seriously) and picked it up on his way in.  We spent some time getting it running, and he was happy.

Saturday, we had a blast riding the whole event on mopeds.




When we got back to camp, my neighbor told me he really didn't NEED another moped and that he was gifting his $1.25 moped to ME.  Now this is in my garage, a running riding 1994 Tomos E35 Sprint.  I don't know much about mopeds but it's going to be a perfect winter fixer up project.  Only things I see missing so far are side tins and air box.  Parts seem very available and even better, cheap.

I saw thar one, it was pretty nice..

My 2cents.
I had SCR properly done my "DG4" heads for my 350.  I think they are 19ccdomes.
My swingarm is also from a 400, making it 2" over on my 350, which really tamed the wheelies.
Re-annodized and chromed head bolts, bling yes.  I don't care.

Anyone?  I'll be there camping with the yellow R5...

The repro mirrors from Yambits,are they the same as the repros from HVC ?

These are the brand Yambits sells...

How are the Yambits mirrors with high rpm vibrations;do they stay in position ? thanks

Absolutely.  I was sceptical at the price but they were good.

I just went through this, and originals just seem to be unavailable.  Since I needed some bits that only YamBits had, I included a set of their mirrors.  Very high quality, heavy materials.  Just no tuning fork logo.  I think they were $35ish.

I parked my R5 next to one at a show, and was amazed how little it was.
