no
i am using the kick starter to start the bike
if i want i could send the clutch cover 2 shift rods and 120.00 usd and get sent back a rh gear conv just like the dt1 rt1 and tz250c
gear shift on both sides
jim
That sounds like a good simple solution and a bargain!
 
I think in a slider set up using the XT, the left hand gear change is a big handicap, I found that apart from my upbringing with RH gear change being my 'default' action the gear lever was to close to the ground on left handers.
 
I think the high C.S.G of the XT engine combined with my tendency to 'road race' rather than slide these days brings the bike down so low that I have actually hit my left hand on a witches hat at Nepean
cheers pancho.

after a long period I thought I would fit rear guard and brake stay b4 I change and put the antig bultaco together


do you guys think the guard is too big

I will try with just the frame oil tank first after talking with dave at antig he says we ran the b50s with just the oil in frame and its only 4 laps max

Lookin'good Jim,
                    I'm with Dave, oil in the frame then you can get rid of the oil
tank and put a longtrack/grasstrack seat on it. Would balance the look a lot better
and be nicer on the arse imo.
regards  Mark
