Aside from the heat dissipation issue, if you powder coat a cylinder you will never be able to get it all off, ever, even after it has started chipping. With...
Rick, I am running a 110/100-18 on my '74 non-GP and it doesn't rub the knobs. I have a steel hub and my rim is actually laced slightly to the left. I don't...
I called Don about a reed valve conversion on a 74 440 Maico and he only wanted $2500.00 (yes $2500.00) what a deal and I would supply the Cyl. but I think...
My rim was offset to the right when I bought it new in 1974. It only took me about 27 years to get around to correcting it. While on the subject of rear...
You need to re-think you question. Their are several types of coating processes that will help you achieve your end result (black) and help disapate heat....
Rick, I run a Metzeler MC5 intermediate terrain tire on my '74, I haven't ridden it enough yet to make a judgement on it, but on my modern YZ I run a Dunlop...
