it would help if you mentioned what country you are located in and picture or 2 of the bike you're talking about.

fleabay can be a valuable resource at times.

Not mine. On eBay.

there was another lengthy discussion about wider front tire recently. Can't remember poster name but he had already mounted wider tire and was looking for a fender to fit.

the clips on mine are atill hanging in there. as farcasxthecceterctab, you can radius them back, the result is the sane

good to know, radiusing sounds easier and faster. Any negatives to completely removing re: skirt strength, fail rate etc.?

was that a Chinese cylinder kit? And why wasn't the tang removed from piston skirt? I thought that is basically standard procedure these days.

lol,never heard fruit jar of death  IIRC the old Falcon engine bays could hold a small V-8, like maybe a 260 cu or something they made before the 289?

you're braver than me on those chilly commutes. Love the Falcon. My favorite years were 64/65. Would gladly take a Sprint V8 from that era! Even a convertible 

assuming you know about length difference between RD250 & RD350 cylinder mount studs

I have 2 sets and they also look fantastic. There's great info in this thread if anyone has read it from post #1.

Only concerns I have seen is from people who bought the cheapest set they could find in a hurry.

You get what you pay for 

Never saw a TDR with low pipes. Aren't they stock with up pipes?

Memphis!

that's not uncommon at all, especially if you use cheapest shipping option. I've had them go back and forth across the country multiple times only to arrive where they started (at least according to their tracking). I was told it has to do with weather and if you use Ground Service. Mine have to go through a main distribution center in Albuquerque NM (5 hours away from origination), and it can bounce back and forth as they have origination/acceptance division and clearance/distribution division, and each has its own ZIP code. If a truck they wanted to put yours on is delayed for whatever reason they let it sit waiting for another truck- and then you can get bumped in favor of Priority Mail on hand that was backed up. It's a screwy system but it is what it is...

no, my curiousity ends at parts swapping and just trying to get shit running after 20+ years hibernating
