Its definitely not a 74 pipe, comparable to one on my 74. T

I guess with that being said, does anyone have a 77 pipe they want to part with?

The other question is, does anyone know if the 400 head bolts are the same as the 250?

Thanks all!

My engine builder is recommending I stay with the Motoplat and not use the PVL. Planning on just hare scramble racing the bike, no lights.

Bob "Dirt" Gilman introduced me to Penton's and VMD over 10 years ago. On top of which, gave me the bike I race to this day.
I would have never met such a nice group like POG, without Bob.
You guys an gals are some of the best!

See you next time!

I will be there with the Gilman clan again! Can't wait! Will your son be there? I owe him some pictures from last year.[8D]

Will do X!
That is my plan. Been stuck at work and not near the bike. I will call Gary tomorrow.

Thanks guys!

Well, looking at the manual, I have the right rod, but I am wondering if maybe I have the wrong clutch package.

This style actuator has the one rod and no ball bearing. Well, at least I believe it's not supposed to have a bearing.
Cable is brand new, and free from obstructions.
Cluthc lever is a Magura.
How do I determine how times to turn the clutch basket nuts?

thanks all!

Jeff

Thanks guys! I am stll new to all of the Penton world, but a great friend, Bob Gilman, has got me so addicted to these bikes now, it's like a disease! Hope to see everyone back at VMD in Ohio!

The bearing cage side, I have assembled correctly, its the clutch side that has me confused. THe manual does not show a single ball bearing between the rod end and the clutch plate, but there was one in there, upon disassembly. It looks like it would mak sense to have one there, but I think it is making the distance too long.
