Yeah the 72 is reed valve, so new tech. I can get into Formula 125 with the reed valve but it’s excluded from 200 GP. I think what I will end up doing is using a CT1 top end which is piston port and try for both classes. My pockets aren’t deep enough for special alloys [emoji23] Sent from my...

Yamaha CT2! I’ve owned this bike for a while and really enjoy it but I’ve always toyed with building it into a track bike. I decided to go for it and learn along the way. The RD250 front end comes pretty close to bolting on from what I hear and seems to be a solid upgrade. You might be right...

Looking for an early, I think 1972 or earlier drum brake RD or R5 front end (forks, wheel, triples...etc) for a road race project. I’m located in Charlotte NC. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Teazer! Good talking to you again! Been a few years, yea? Hope alls well! This actually isn’t even my bike - just trying to dial it in for someone else, and yeah it’s just a back and forth around town bike. To your question, it has 2 very soft lobes on the cam. I have a sharpening stone in...

Hey there! I'm working on a '72 CB175 and have a quick static timing question. It's a 2-cylinder but my points plate has only one contact, which tells me, I assume that the spark plugs fire every rotation of the crank shaft and both spark plugs fire every rotation. Only one cylinder would be...

Bump - really thought this would have been gone by now. Last price drop, $120 shipped.

Hey man! Yeah everything’s good, just fell out of the building scene for a bit and started riding bikes more than building them! Currently have a 72 Yamaha CT2 and a 2009 KLX250s, oh yeah and a 4 month old little boy now :) Hope you’re good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Selling my Gloss Black Bell Bullitt. It’s a comfy helmet and is in awesome shape. Not perfect, but the price reflects that. There is a scratch on the top, pictured and a scuff on the shield but that’s all. Replacement visors are available if you want but the scuff doesn’t really bother me...

A dude in my old apartment complex had one of these LT50s and he was pulling his buddy around in the snow on a snowboard (on the road). Saw this and had to have it. 105 lb of two stroke fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow there's some nice custom bits on that thing. Very cool ride! Good luck with the sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My wife has been yearning for a while now for something bigger than herself. She was driving down the road and saw a big sign tucked back in the woods that said "get involved with something greater than yourself." Close enough! My wife and I are raising money for Make-A-Wish by fundraising...
