2-Cylinder Photos - Post Yours!

[jfman]

North GA near Blue Ridge Mountains, I got a local guy that really wants them for his Build but have not talk to him yet would you like to make a offer. I have an ad in the parts section if you want photos.

Nice I used to live in GA and rode around there 129/60/180 etc.. Its an great spot.


I already have a set that I bought for 50$ but they are pitted and yours lookes cleaner in the pics.

To fit a fat wheel in the back youre gonna nee a wide swingarm. Here is what I did on mine. My wheel is gonna get thrown on soon Ill update the pics. You are also going to need an offset front sprocket and youll need to beat the frame rail in some to the get the chain to clear. I used a 4.5in wheel but a 5inch could be done but wont be easy.

where can i get a exhaust like this for my 250? $

I had that custom made by a local exhaust shop here... just under $AU800 but you guys in the US usually get this stuff way cheaper than us

ah,Pete! Great! I was looking for your bike here .
..when I see your bike I sure miss my long-gone '72 CL350 Scrambler. It was a soggy thing compared to your bike but the insurance rate-class here meant it had a good $/fun ratio...IT needed a back-rack...

ps-you made that? too cool.yours is probably the other one I've seen

Haha yeah I had to stick some in here... and I've now seen pic's of three 450's with the genuine optional racks, and not one owner has wanted to part with it... so yeah I had an old carry rack sitting around that I cut and shaped to attach to the grab rail. Then John82q welded it up for me as he'd seen my previous welding efforts

The sprockets are available on ebay and some vendors sell them too.

To get the chaine closer to the center of the bike. You may want to consider machining the hub down a few mm's just so it clears the tire. Tha will help you get the chain to line up better with the output shaft sprocket.

On my build I am planning on doing just this but I have more room to play with because I am using a 4.5 inch rear wheel. and a 150 rear tire.
