Not looking to cafe out my bike, so anybody that has the factory tank for a '73 CB750 laying on the shelf, please let me know. Doesn't need to be show quality by any means. Just usable / decently clean inside. Thanks!

Buttons & myself at my debut race last weekend. 81 Speedway in Park City Kansas. Last time I was at this track, I was still brewing in my Mom's belly. I have now raced under the Friday night lights. Actually put a little hurt on a XL250 based framer & a late model KX250 with her on that...

Am I the only person here? BAM! I got K180's! Just mounted them, haven't gotten to thoroughly evaluate them yet but I have high expectations for them. Bad news is I didn't get them from A&A. I'm STILL waiting.

I still haven't gotten my K180's from A&A.... Not their fault they say, still haven't gotten a shipment from Dunlop. :( Update on my Shinko 705's. Mounted on my custom KZ650 wheels. A BMW / HD 19x2.5" aluminum replacement hoop laced to the stock front & a Trumpet 17X3.5" aluminum hoop laced to...

Well they were back ordered but I've got a set of K180s (110/80-19 & 120/90-18) coming someday! I'll let you guys know what's up when I get some miles on them. They're going to run a bit over $200 shipped.

Re: 1973 XL250 "Brat-Tracker?¿" Build - what did I get myself into (Picture Heavy) Nice! I'll be following this one closely.

I've e-mailed A&A about getting a set of K180's. Those are the only actual DT tires I can find that will fit my XL350's wheels (once I'm done with the Maxim front end swap) & would like to compare them to the K70... I'll post up when I get a reply.

I've got 705's on my six fiddy, (not finished with her build) but heard great things about them. Are those Aprillia Capranord < I know I spelled that wrong < wheels? Looks like the spoke goes outside the bead of the tire, which would let you go tubeless. Or them fancy GS wheels maybe?

The K70 4.00x18 on my Honda XL350's rear wheel, which is a WM3 (2.15) width. Tread close up. Things I noticed. This tire is HEAVY! 9 1/2lbs. Skinny, literally only 4 inches across. Soft tread, pattern looks great for a 'universal'. I can't wait to ride the XL & feel the difference!

If I knew them shocks would fit my KZ650, I'd jump all over them. I need to get her ass end up.

Bam!

Oh man... Tip over switch fail!

No doubt. Keep the rubber side down.

No doubt man. I watched a complete XL350 motor go on ebay for like 25 bucks, freakin' shipping was more than the motor.

Rooks county Kansas? The races at Stockton you mean then. I was actually up there around that time on a well rehabilitation job (I'm a 8T Smeal operator) & one of the city guys I was working with was telling me they're some damn good races. A riding buddy of mine made it up there & said they...

Could you use the jug & pistons from a CB400 four? I'm tired of looking at it. PM if interested, thanks!

I'm actually build a flat track bike right now, from a '74 XL350 that is also really rough. Mine came with a fully functional piston however :) I've got a PILE of parts I've stripped from mine if ya need something, lemme know. I'll be watching this space man!

This is awesome on so many levels, I can't wait till I have a boy to do things like this. Best of luck to your boy, the little honda & yourself man!

Close, that's my fightered 636 with dunlop 616's. I can do anything on her, absolutely love that bike! Yeah, that little honda was CRAZY fast for no bigger than it looks.

Thanks man! One thing is, I can lace wheels so that'll help alot to get the right rubber on. Edit: What width do they run out there on the 19's? WM3~WM4?
