Thanks for all the info. Would it turn on ok with a 6v ignition coil and a 12v battery? I love mopar purple!

Ok so I bought a 12 volt battery and lights (headlight, taillight and turn signals) at the time I hadn't done my research so I didn't know I had a 6v system. What all do I need to do to make it work with what I have? Help is greatly appreciated

Ok I know it's been a bit since I posted anything but I haven't stopped working on my bike! This is the bike fully disassembled, just a few more things and it's time to build it back up. I painted the engine after hours of cleaning Wheels after I laced them and then got them trued and...

I spend all weekend on this beautiful piece of machinery! I hand sanded all 72 spokes with a 400 grit them with a 800 grit. I stripped, sanded, prepped, and painted both front and back hub assemblies. (I used epoxy paint) I took more parts in for powder coating. I sanded and painted the gas...

:D thanx for your comments! Quick question! I have a 4.0 x 18 rim what tire fit better, the 120/80-18 or the 4.10-18? I think bigger is better! Which one is bigger? Do they both fit and how?

That looks awesome! Great job with all the small details

This a great detailed thread of how to build a bike! Great job with the bike, it's coming out amazing. I can only hope my bike looks half as good as your bike is looking.

Hello everyone, I'm finally building a thread for my xl250. It all started when I saw the xl285 from pipeburn and fell in love. I have been wanting to build a bike for a long time but I'm finally getting to it! I picked up this 76 xl250 from a guy in Phoenix AZ for only $450. So here she is when...

Sweet I'm in to see this build! I'm building a 76 xl250 as well, I want to make a thread but haven't figure out how to upload pictures (it makes it funnier that I am a jet intermediate electrician, and I can't upload pictures on the web)

It's coming along great! What is the carb jetted at?

Like the tittle says, I came a cross a good deal for the front wheel/brakes, triple tree and forks on a 92 cbr 600, now the question is can the be modified to fit a 1976 xl250? What modifications would it need? I got the idea from classified moto, they use r6 front ends for most of there builds...

Do you have the front tire, and how much for the forks and triple tree shipped to 85364
