    '69 Kawasaki G3SS

    Is that an extra pipe in the second picture? I'm looking for a new pipe for my G3SS because mine has a big hole in it from the kick start lever.

    Rear-set leverage (or lack thereof)

    This was really really helpful. I shortened the driving arm as it was easier than adding material onto the driven arm. I seem to have it set up so that I can shift with about the same force (or a little less) as a stock shifter now, but I also seem to have a lot of travel in the lever. I think I...

    69 yr2 motor issues

    I wish you were closer. I have a spare R5 motor in my garage. I would trade you for the busted one. It would be a shame to drop a 4t lump in that beast.

    Rear-set leverage (or lack thereof)

    So I drilled a hole on the shift lever closer to my foot peg. It seems to shift a lot easier now, but the travel on the lever is really far. Argh! Ever since I got run over by a car on my rd350, I don't have a lot of strength in my foot and I don't have the range of motion I did before. Somehow...

    69 yr2 motor issues

    For the price of a set of cases on ebay ($240 OUCH!) I would probably either take them to a reputable welder and have him weld up your cases. Make sure everything is disassembled and very clean. I'm sure you could probably find someone to weld that up for $50-$100 (way cheaper than any other...

    Rear-set leverage (or lack thereof)

    So I've been wanting to put rear-sets on my R5 project for a while. I finally picked up a set of Yoshimura aluminum rear-sets for $47 shipped on ebay. The brake side mounted up extremely easily once I bent the kick starter out of the way. The brake side seems to work really well. The issue...

    Wanted! Rd350 parts! DG exhaust carbs etc

    I just bought a set of DG chambers from denniskirk.com for $269 shipped. That was the cheapest I could find them. I believe they sell them on ebay for the same price. Carbs are a no brainer. you can upgrade to KOSO PWK style carbs that flow better and provide superior throttle response for the...

    wanted: R5 parts

    I should be all set on pistons. The ones in there look brand new when I look through the ports. Knowing the previous owner, it's probably missing rings though ::) He stripped everything important off it and sold it to me as a "complete barn find" what a joke... anyway, back on topic. I may have...

    wanted: R5 parts

    I e owned a few rd350s and an R5 in the past, so I have an idea about the interchangeability of most of the rd and ds7 parts with the r5. You can run an RD air box in the R5. The rd just has a rubber boot on the bottom of the box. The RD lid is a bit different, but could be modified to make it...

    wanted: R5 parts

    Redbird: I PMed you. I think I have a battery bracket. I'm upgrading the carbs, so the air box won't fit after all. looking for a tail light lens to go with Redbird's bracket or the whole assembly if someone has it. I really really need a set of fenders though.

    wanted: R5 parts

    I'm in the market for a few parts for a newly acquired bike of mine, a 1971 Yamaha R5B. I'm looking for a few parts that are usually taken off on cafe builds so maybe I'll get lucky. I need: front fender rear fender tail light (with bracket) air box with filter, lid, and rubber boots battery...

    RD250 and R5 forks

    I'm starting a couple new projects and it seems like everything I come across needs forks. I'm looking for a set for forks for my R5 and my air cooled RD250. I really only need the stanchions, but will happily buy the whole fork setup if you have it. Let me know what you have. Thanks, Eric

    Suzuki t350 cylinders and pistons

    I'm looking for a set of suzuki t350 cylinders and pistons for my '71 t350. I definitely need the left one, but both would be even better. I'm hoping to get late model ones (the ones with the aux exhaust ports), but I'm not picky and will take whatever as long as I can get my bike back on the...

    WTT: Yoshimura rearsets for Suzuki T350 barrels

    I've had this set of rearsets sitting on a shelf in my garage for a few years and never got around to putting them on a bike. They're billet aluminum and have roller bearings in them. Unfortunately, I need a set of cylinders for my '71 Suzuki T350, so I'm looking to trade the rearsets and a bit...

    '75 suzuki gt250...Buzzing around the block

    Re: '75 suzuki gt250 Ever think of going to reeds? Now that I have a gila monster, I believe I need to try polini-izing a larger bike. Maybe I'll give it a shot on my t500 when I tear it down for a rebuild. Something like this...Thoughts?

    Re: 72' Suzuki GT380 (She Lives!!!)

    Re: 72' Suzuki GT380 first time build (She Lives!!!) If you're having a hard time finding brake shoes and brake cables, I have some off my bike that you can have for shipping. They are used, but they would at least get you through until you can find some new ones. It has to be better than no...

    If anyone on the east coast has one of these, I want to know about it.

    I have a few mopeds, but I don't have a batavus. Are you interested in any other brands? I have a 2 speed solo cafe that needs a new home... 8)
