Nice 76 Mike! Almost makes me want to put together my 76 YZ250... Or will it be a 400? Hmmm

I've found some motivation for getting my 73 Chevy Stepside together. Not going to go full Yamahauler, but thought this was pretty cool!

'88 Corvette motor, moderate build, coming together with a 4 speed Muncie...

Dry fit of 250 motor looks promising so far
Funny how going from a single shock to dual shock set up is “progress“

[T-Dub13]

That's going to be a FUN machine to ride! And to look at for technical goodies... Well done, so far.

I like that you have an Allen wrench holder with nothing in it

It will be hard to see it get its first lump of dirt stuck to the under side she so nice.

Just off the lift. My 1989 CRe250R. Now off road ready as all proper dirt bikes should be

Now on the lift, '95 Husaberg FE501e. Many 'opportunities' here. These early bikes had very aggressive cam ramps which put a lot of force on the entire valve train. Couple that with weak oem cam chains, poorly designed chain slipper and an alu cam sprocket and there's trouble. I won't even go into the issues with the Dellorto VHSB 38. Information and parts for the early bikes ('89-'96) is challenging as well.

But she's slowly coming around

Old and new upgraded chain slipper

Old alu and new steel cam sprocket

Putting some "X" in the old KD. I'm amazed that this thing actually had 11.87 BHP new.

That 'Berg is gonna be fun! So is Mikey's IT!
Some big bores to contend with. Im still playing with the tiddlers. I have no idea why... oh yeah, because i still have PTSD from my YZ490. I have to keep reminding myself every time i get jealous!

Yes

[JackPiner]

almost 2 months later and the KDX is still on the lift with no end in sight

[ratsMC]

Good thing you have 2 months to get that sick XR project finished instead.

Shout out to Kevin Donovan , the Master welder. I installed an 81 250 reed valve motor into a 79 Maico GS frame. Its a pretty easy swap, with the motor mounts, and the carb/airbox dimensions exactly the same.The problem was adapting the 81 pipe to the 79 frame. Enter the master welder, Kevin. He painstakingly took the time to basically cut apart and adapt the pipe to the frame , and it looks factory!!!! Thx Kevin

FDR... I've got a '79 which is exactly the same bike as yours. It's a nice friendly little bike but I will be VERY surprised if you or the bike like racing on it! Have you found anything close to the appropriate springs for both ends? Or a shock with actual damping potential? That's a lot of mail you are asking it to deliver...
