i think GMC sells the stainless  steel fuel caps for that tank....

Nah, Hanks Engineering makes the billet alloy jobs. As Vandy says the caps are quite common, they were also on some MX & YZ 80's
Think I paid around $25.00 for one a few years back

I just handed over a crisp $50 to Staffords for one

Can anyone identify this type throttle and possibly what cable would fit it?    THanksssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

[YSS]

Tomaselli  ,I think

What cable fits also depends whats on the other end. It probably a case of taking it off and comparing it to others rather ythan just going to a shop and asking for a '84 Yamasuki txz 250 throttle cable.

It might be easy or it might be a case of having one custom made. Welcome to the wonderfull world of hand built specials .

That positioning under rather than over the bars sux

It looks like a gunner gasser throttle.

[caps 999]

ive go that exact throttle on my yz175 ill get pics tonight i found it in the shead and just modified the stock cable to fit

[vandy010]

i'll go with it being a gunner gasser too!
grab a brand new aftermarket universal cable. you'll need to cut it to length and solder a nipple on one end but they should come with a few optional nipples in the pack when you buy them.
and maybe a sticker!

[mainline]

mmmmmm.......optional nipples......

All right,  next question, and I hope you guys dont mind the dumb questions but you have been very helpful so far. Its really hard to find credible information on vintage bikes.   Ok , footpegs,  this frame uses the stock TT500 pegs ( which by the way suck ), my question is: Does anyone know of a supplier of an aluminum wide peg that would fit this application?    I have a 74 elsinore that I was able to get pegs from Red Baron,  that fit a CRF50, found this trick on a Honda vintage website, was hoping that maybe someone here would have a good idea!!!!!

i would be restoreing it to original  as possible .and arnt the foot pegs yz 400

[cblyx6]

 Thats the pegs, and I was under the impression that they were TT pegs, got that info from someone, maybe not credible, I have the original pegs, is the one on the right side of the bike suppose to be longer than the left?   Or maybe vise versa, cant remember which one is longer.

[GMC]

The UK built frames used YZ pegs, I think 125. They have 2 tapped lugs on the frame that a plate bolts to which holds the folding pegs.
1W4-27412-10    left
1W4-27422-10    right

The Pro-Fab frames used a spline type system that looks very similar to the TT pegs.
No replacement options that I know of, I have supplied the parts for TT frames so you can cut the old peg mounts from the frame, weld the lugs on & then fit the YZ style peg mounts which then gives you more peg options.

There used to be a whole lot of articles here on OzVMX about the HL500s, including scans of the VMX articles. Happy to repost them on the site when I get home - next Tuesday or so - if no-one else can help in the meantime...
