    Carbeurtor Butterfly shaft mods

    Hey there , I’m going back and working on these carbs. They’re for a 650 but I have the brackets for the 400. Only issue is the shafts need to move about 6 -8mm . I think I’ve got 3 options to get these to work. 1. cut away these red areas . Only issue is the piece may not be strong enough...

    Bigger Front Forks

    So the stock forks i have look to be suffering from some really bad rust pitting above the oil seals. I'm assuming this will cause some leaks but they're only sparse except for below where the steering head mounts. Is it possible to fit what i assume is xs650 forks on (35mm in diameter vs 33mm...

I decided to check out the 3rd engine just to see if I could maybe part it out or if there were things worth...
