Fun!
What changes/upgrades are you planning?


Mainly getting 3rd gear back and getting functioning crank seals. :) It'll be a fun topic at DG for us, filling you in on everything I found in there after 43 years of riding it.

Jim,

I have new trans clips, shims, washers left over from when Mark Doucette back cut and set mine up many years ago. You want me to send these to you to see if you can use anything I may have?

Man, that would be great, Evans. I'll bring anything I don't use to DG. I'll email you my address. Thank you!

I’ll sort through tonight and get in the mail to you tomorrow Jim. Got your email with address.
Glad to help out!

Took the DT400 out yesterday with some local buddies (it was 70 here yesterday and snowing now) - ran great and of course it's coming with me!

Nice Barry!

It was 70 here today. I rode about 130 miles on very back country roads. I had an errand to do, so I figured I'd make it into an afternoon ride.
