In this pic you can see the grease fitting I added to the top steering head bushing. The bottom one has one too. They should help prolong the life of the bushings. If you look real close you can also see the plastic dust/water cover cap I put over the top bolt. Mark Peterson has a good article covering this modification at his RockOnline website.

Here you can see the custom high speed needle adjusting wheel that came off the Ultra-Lite plane motor on the HL334 carb . It sure does make it easy to dial in the carb while riding. You can also see the K$N air filter and custom petcock with the extra fuel tap for the carb primer I had to add. | |
Another shot of the filter. You can also see the rubber tank mounts without the tank in the way. | |
This is a shot of the front chain guard. | |
A 3/4 shot from the front. | |
Here are the folding footpegs I made. They are some old solid aluminum aftermarket motocross pegs welded to the stock swing pegs. | |
A better shot of the custom petcock and primer bulb. | |
As much as I liked the power and sound of the expansion chamber I built, I decided to go ahead and put a muffler on it. This exhaust came off an 85 Trailbreaker and was originally a plastic Acerbis. This pipe has had the plastic muffler cover (which was prone to melting) replaced with a sheetmetal cover. It is MUCH quieter and doesn't really rob that much H.P. | |
Just a couple of little details. I put a chrome plug in the hole for the power take off and if you look REAL close you can see the grooving I added to the shift knob for a better grip. | |
I took these shots after the black bodywork came back from the painters. While it was being painted I wanted to ride it to check out the motor etc. so I temporarily installed the red tank, seat and fenders off my 72 Trailbreaker. Looks pretty damn good :-). | |
Here's the finished bike sitting in my backyard. | |
A rear shot of the seat. Kinda says it all ;-). | |
Another shot of the tank mounts and primer bulb. I had to add the primer because the HL334 carb doesn't have a choke. | |
Here are the pieces that make up the tank mounts. They originally were rear tank mounts from a Suzuki LT250 ATV. |
