The clutch pull doesn't botther me, coming off a 500. I put some pvc spacers in the forks and they feel pretty nice but the shock is bottoming although it's on the hardest preload setting.

It's painfully stock, 75 original miles.

PWK 28 it is. I put a PWK 39.5 on another bike and am very happy with the carb. Suspension-wise this thing is way soft. I do my suspension on my 500 so a rebuild is pretty easy for me. I was wondering if there is a noticeable difference with the '86 shock with the reservoir or just freshen up what I have? Thanks for the direction.

Must be an '85 as I see no reservoir. Are these shocks rebuildable? More questions: Are fork/shock springs readily had? These are way too soft - I'm right at 200lbs. What carb is the set-up for a swap? What tire pressure to run? Any advantage to the '86 shock?

I picked up an ultra clrean mid-80's 350 recently. It was a one-owner bike with 75 total miles on it. It has the original tires on it. I'm pretty experienced on bikes, running enduro and off-road stuff but trials is all new to me. I understand this about the bike: bulletproof needs modern brakes 20 lbs heavier than modern units has a crappy carb and a 27mm swap is the ticket (Mikuni or Keihin?) too heavy of flywheel and the 250 flywheel is the fix stock fork springs are too soft for most Beyond that, I'm clueless. I have a shop manual on order and am running down the exact year of the bike. Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance AP
