My mistake.  I meant to say that the VG 250 white tank is tapped for the right side petcock only.
Exhaust pipe goes right under where the left side petcock would go.

This is a photo of an H7 360 enduro converted to a VG "360".  The rear loop was modified, all the various brackets were removed, pipe was gutted
and a VG 250 tank was fitted.  He is still running the H7 front brake setup.

Very nice indeedy.
I'm often tempted to take to my H7 with "the wheel of love" and do a similar conversion. God help the night I have one too many "Bonnox's" and I will (but I'll hate myself in the morning.... :'()

This is exactly what I plan to do with my 360 H7. We do not have any vinduro events in South Africa so I will use it as a pre-85 contender in the national VMX races. But I think I'll keep the blue seat! Mine also have the front disc which I will keep. Let me also add that I did buy it in a shocking state so I basically have a frame, wheels and engine to work from.

The US versions of the VG 250 came with Fox shoxs, and everyone told me how great
they are, (all the Honda guy's wanted to buy them)  so I thought I would give them a go.

Can you get some close-ups of that air-box please Jared? :)

Wow! How do you get access to the filter? I take it that is the standard VG 250 air-box....... :P

There is a Uni Pod filter attached to an aluminum sleeve which is attached
to a rubber connector that fit's over the 38mm Mikuni.  Rear splash guard
must be removed to gain access to the filter.  The two top screws are removed
and the entire airbox is slid out the back, while the filter remains attached. 
 It's the standard VG 250 airbox, but I did add some vents to let in more air.

Almost complete!  Finish the footpeg mounts, pipe and get the seat covered.

Kicker is from a 83' Cota 349.  Not sure if it will stay.  Depends on how it kicks over...
Fox shox's me $300 to rebuild.  Hope it was worth it!
