Mark thanks for insight on nibbi carb, I purchased a PE22 for a xr80 , works so good. Went with smaller jet for stating point and bike started on second kick. Starts most of the time without choke, so cool
Like you said workmanship looks good. 

Found a Suzuki A100 in good shape, I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this model?

has anyone seen these, is this a typical obvious copy.

I have the chance to get a T500 two stroke, my question is parts for crank repair and other issues, I understand the tend to crack heads, which this one has. I do not know price yet, so I am looking for some advice from the wise sages here.

Earlier this year I purchased a set of JL pipes from John at Economy for my 75 RD, I thought I would post a side by side pic of these for comparison.The state of tune the RD being Supertune porting, mikuni TM32 heads machined by Supertune the JL feel a little crisper right off idle , however clutch started slipping and was really unable to get a real comparison of upper end pull. I will try the spec2 pipes on my R5 with 400 engine I am building now. I have replaced clutch and springs , now I am waiting for my Belray gear saver oil to show up, then another comparison run will be made.

I ran across a video from Allen Millyard installing a new rotor on a crank and he used lapping compound to seat the two. I was unaware of this approach, however it makes sense. I am sure some of you might be aware of this method.  I had the opportunity to weigh stock rotor and HPI rotor thought I would share the info. The total weight savings is greater due to the stock stator not being used.

I was presented with a new project eleven months ago, and it has pulled time away from my RD projects. I could not say no to it. A friend offered it up at a price that I could not say no to. The bike was destined to be altered to become an adventure bike, and I wanted to keep it a budget friendly bike that will be used as a errand runner and one that I won't mind if it gets wet.

I was going through some of the boxes in my shop and found these unused silencers. I do not recall the pipes they came with, but I have them. Anybody recognize or need them?

I have a set of spec2 f1 pipes on my 350. I am building a 400 now, anyone have any experience with jl pipes. Carbs will be tm34 and John Ritter porting and head work

just saw this listing, at first look seems like a decent deal.    https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/mpo/d/kennesaw-1973-yamaha-rd125-project/7492568518.html

I have a question, does anyone know of a Y-boot that fits with TM34 for a RD350/400 without using an adapter?

I ran across this listing, looks clean as far as exterior is concerned, has oil pump and ac/points. https://www.ebay.com/itm/294652697573?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200708143445%26meid%3D6cf9199e8d834612ac671cae91818cc9%26pid%3D101251%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D294652697573%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DPersonalizedTopicsV2WithMoreCoviewRecall&_trksid=p2380057.c101251.m47269&_trkparms=pageci%3A7a63718a-701e-11ec-9dde-269848fb0742%7Cparentrq%3A373431c017e0a45ada7cc957ffdfce88%7Ciid%3A1

Alright, I know its ok to start another project while another is nearing completion, only because I have read about others here. So,  I have just scored is a R5 frame and swing arm, I have RD350 wheels and forks, also a RD400 engine. I need to find a tank, seat, and other bits. You guys have some input on direction of this project. I am thinking alloy rims, and follow a stock appearance.

Ok, Ireally miss having my safetykleen service, my question is out of the basic washers which ones seem to work and hold up ok, and cleaner, solvent based or waterborne?

Anyone else use Jets R us? I have had very good service from these guys. Good stock and quick response.

I have installed a koso meter on my RD350, and it has the capability of providing CHT. I was curious if anyone has run a gauge with CHT and had a range they have observed.

Euro RD400
For those with deeper pockets than me.
