Great looking bike!  How do you like the JL chambers?

I really like the JLs. But they do drag in the corners. I'm hoping to get a set of the Millennium pipes for another project!

This is my Formula 500 race bike. I've been racing it with AHRMA for the last 5 years or so.

Great! Do you race with AHRMA or just to spectate?

I'm not sure of the history but my understanding is it was a performance upgrade that used to be done. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Any old time racers still here?

This is my 1987 RS125 NF4 race bike. Hope to have it at NJMP in June for the AHRMA races!

Turning Wrenches / RD350 motor with RD400 heads.

This is a motor I'm looking to put back on the street. I was told it was used for flat track racing. Should I put 350 heads back on it or keep the 400 heads? Any pros or cons with the 400 heads? Thanks!!

And bike needs to be able to past tech

What level of safety wiring is typically required? Every fastener or just some select ones?

It's all listed in the AHRMA handbook. But anything to do with fluids, brakes, and exhaust for the most part.

I race a RD350 in the AHRMA Formula 500 class. Getting started with AHRMA is pretty easy.

1. Go to the AHRMA website and download the riders handbook
2. Read up on what class(s) your bike fits in
3. Build the bike to the specs of the class(s)
4. Register for the AHRMA race school
5. Pass the class
6. Race that weekend

You also need all the proper racing gear: Leathers, Helmet, boots, gloves, back protection...
