    Nice. I have a '70 400. John at vintage Husky built my motor and said 50:1 is fine. I run Yamaha Lube with 92 octane pump gas and have never had any issues.

    I like the blue shrouds better than black, did you paint or buy them? I have a 85 wrx 250 with black shrouds and I would love to make mine street legal one day too. Its just getting nice to ride here it is hard to believe that your season is ending and ours is just starting.

    Brothers from a different mother...some 30 years apart.
    I raced both over the weekend, the AE500 on the grass track Sunday, but it was changing gears a little too early for me so I reverted back to the WR300.
    Fun though!

    I work in Bridgewater but do not do business there. I will check them out. Obviously you won't race this one but do you have a vintage race bike to race with us next season?
