It followed me home.  Can I keep it?
Apparently you can only ride one bike at a time, and hence you should only have one bike.  :(

Does he have an 80 J? Because if he does I'd like to ask him a bit about that whole steering head/coolant thing that goes on there. ::)

Yes, I bought this, no more hunting for J whole bikes, only 50 & 60 plastics. Hope to race the 250 at Ravenswood instead of the 490. I actually have 2 x 80J rolling frames if that helps 414.
Restoring YZ 50,60, 80, 100 and 125. Racing a 490 and a 250. Have a complete collection of J,s.

Thanks but I'm ok for frames. I'm just more than a little nervous about putting all this steering head together when it comes time (which is a long way off at the moment). :)

If you can Ross avoid running the cooler through the stem it's a night mare and some of the sepcial seals are NLA

this may help you with the yz80j steering head 414, under control and brake, and then steering there is a blown up diagram of the steering head.
