Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I remember riding one a short distance in 1967, in the rain. The sudden power band was quite a surprise coming from a BSA B33 500 single. Comedy of opposites.
I had a '72 T250 for quite a while in the 90s. Pretty much the same bike but most everything is a bit different. Absolutely smooth at 90 kph/55 mph but rather buzzy wound out. Some vintage racers have fitted rubber engine mounts - not visible - to reduce the vibration for comfort and longevity. T500 had them as did Gt750s, etc. , although the ones they used were Yamaha as I recall.
What tires did you fit? Duro?, IRC?

Looks great. Did you try one of those wix airfilter elements out? i got a set but have yet to try one in the airbox, neither myself, or my son have had the extra cash to start on one of ours yet. Did you find a set of crank seals, or were you able to use the old ones?

Hi Dee,
Found a close to original air filter we made work, original crank seals were good.
