I like this front too. Tank is ok too, maybe you can paint a couple and swap them out every once and a while for a different look depending on your mood.
Absolutely. That will go away. I actually have a different DR350SE hub to swap out. I'm just motivating myself to take this wheel apart. Right now it rolls and with all the shit I have in the garage, i like that it rolls.
Not really happy with my oil bag setup, I decided to suck it up and go with a pill. I was really hoping to be atypical, but this is really a sweet little doodad...
Took the rear wheel apart to swap hubs only to discover a crack. I heard a pop when taking the tire off. Could’ve been then. Could’ve been before. It’s a used RM250 rim, so I expect it had a hard life. Fine excuse to buy a new rim...
Nice. I just picked up the motorcycle mount stand from HF for 25% off and no tax, haven't tried it yet but it's supposed to work well. It will at least put the tire at waste height so I won't have to kneel on the floor LOL. Also grabbed the balance/truing stand to go with it.

Cool. I didn't think of that but since it was 25% off of 30.00 I grabbed it. Better than an old axle and jack stands I used to use. That hoop looks great, what kind of tyre are you putting on it?
Spending a little time catching back up from the ground I lost changing the hub and oil tank. I machined the spacers to get the rear wheels sorted. The sprocket and rotor are en route, so there may be adjustments still to come. One thing I'm figuring out, the DR350 and the RM shared a lot of parts. The DR350SE and the RM do not.
I also plumbed the oil tank. It took going from 1/4" npt at the tank to 10AN in the lines and the motor. I drilled out the adapter fitting coming from the 1/4" npt elbow at the tank to keep the flow from the motor consistent. There is very little options out there for a 1/4" npt to 10AN adapters. These ones came straight from China (the fitting coming from the stainless steel elbows at the tank and connecting to the 10AN elbows for the ss lines)
Got the seat back to mounted, as well. I tried to neaten up the spring mounts by machining and threading some delrin bushings.
The bushing in the first pic slides into the spring and mounts the spring to the seat. Then, the bottom of the spring slides onto the bushings threaded onto the frame. This allows the seat to hinge up.
