Seeing that pic makes me wonder about an XL350 cam in an XL 250.

Found some NOS on eBay, may just go that route I'm about had it with these valves at this point, engine been open too long.
Other news, third times a charm with the spokes. New set is in should get to lace up the rear wheel this weekend and have a roller.

Hell! they sat in the seat nice and the carbon had no marks, I guess i could have run a dial indicator on them.

Does the Elsy have the front hub with the bolt on plate for the long spokes? I had a hell of a time with that thing. Finally got it laced it up and the holes were off a space ;D
New spokes laced up. They look reasonable...but still need to be seated. One of the nipples found its way onto the deck of the trailer during the move. I picked it up and stuffed it in my pocket, but I have no idea where it ended up. Tore apart the truck and toolbox to no avail. Going to see if I can scrounge one from the CB but not sure if I kept any of the old spokes.
A decent looking tank came up on eBay, so I pulled the trigger. I'll get the original tank sealed up eventually but hopefully I can toss this one on in the meantime.

Nope not yet. Ran up and down all day Friday but no luck. We borrowed a bit window unit to cool the house for now.
I only have them twisted on 3-4 turns in the pic they should seat fine once I get em all tightened. The old spokes stuck out 1.5cm all the way around bottomed out on the threads, I'll keep em around though got a full set of random length spokes now.

The elusive nipple! Started working out in the shop out back and it turned up, knew that little bastard was somewhere.
Head is finally buttoned up at the machine shop. Only problem is its 2,000 miles away back in MA. Flying back this weekend to take care of some loose ends so I'll pack it up and ship it back, finally get this motor back together.

So the back hoop is trash, nice big dent in it. Gonna true it up as best I can for now and throw the rubber on it...this thing ain't going on the highway anyways. If I keep it I'll have to buy a new set.

They make washers too. Not sure if you need them or not, but I know on my GL rims they have washers.
deviant said:
Naw I think these are good without, they didn't have washers originally either. The spokes suck but I'm gonna tap the dent in a bit with a mallet to straighten it out a bit and get it as close as I can.
These rims have been abused. Looks like an S

I snagged this decent looking tank off he 'bay a couple weeks ago, since I don't have the time right now with the new house to keep messing with the original tank. It came in today, and looks really solid. No scaling on the inside, the seam at the back looks good. A quick etch and seal and this thing will be on and ready. The paint isn't bad, there are a couple of significant dents so I'll see if I can't pop them out from the inside before I seal it. Not going to worry about a new coat of paint right now, maybe down the road.
I know Kamn will be disappointed I didn't seal up the original tank, but I do plan on finishing up that one when I have some more free time
