Thank you!
Yo Mullet, I got a 74 XL 175 that has been stuffed and it is bad ass, I call it my Harley Slayer, one hooligan made the mistake of getting into our class @ indoor winter short track. I smoked his ass up! Nice video! Thanks for posting!
Great video. I haven't been to Aonia since 2009/2010 at the last AHRMA event I rode trials in. I remember when they were first building that track and help the first event.
You answered my question about the the gas tank with your reply to Frank Dillon. Nice bike. I quit racing a couple of years ago but still go out on practice days on my stock framed, but modified , XL250's as well. Been out here in Northern California and raced at Lodi mostly. A lot of fun! I miss it.
I'm moving to North Carolina this spring and will be looking at the schedule of AHRMA and VDTRA also.
I like your ole Ford Van! I have 1969 Dodge A108 van as a hauler. I figured since I'm a Vintage rider, 78, I should have a vintage bike and a Vintage Van!
Nice! I lived in Redding California for a few years and they had some races out in Eureka. There are a lot of tracks around North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia to race at. Some are open just for practice days as well. There are only a handful of old vans around here, most of the van owners have motorcycles as well!
@@OneDownFourUp I'm glad to hear there are tracks in NC, SC and Georgia! I'm looking forward to checking them out!
I'm definitely a honda, freak your
Bike is definitely cool. I know that tank 1974 XL70, I own a 1974 xl 350 and 74 XL70 thay
match each other almost exactly . An old friend of mine
is a Speedway racer gave the
XL350 to keep me away speedway bikes. He calls me a
"Gear Boxer" the bike is almost
Ready, he's got a practice track at his house I think it's about time to show up some Speedway
Guys.I had a xl 250 in the 80's I
Road that bike all over Washington state, I just rebuilt my XR650L with trick stuff inside , long story I love HONDA'S keep up the good work
Old Hondas forever.
THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!
Thanks! I lived in Redding, CA for a few years and miss all the old bikes around that area.They are a lot harder to find in good shape here on the East Coast. I have an XL70 Im working on too, that'll be the next project I finish.
@@OneDownFourUp keep on
racing
track looked like it rubbered up good on the 1 turn that was videod. Bike also looked like it got off that turn great too.
I love your old school racer cabover Ford either Falcon or Econoline van with a 3 on the tree. 170, 200 or 240? My friend Charlie Wilson had the next generation Ford no window van. I guess if it was OK for Mert Lawill.....
Thanks! it has the 200 in it with the 3 speed. The ford six cylinders were some of their best engines.
Great video 👍
I am watching this now also. Cheers.
Nice XL Hoping to do something similar with a 75 250 I picked up. Yours sounds healthy. Any engine mods other than the pipe? Thanks for a cool video.
Thanks! This one's pretty simple no major engine modifications.
Does it really have NO flywheel ? I got rid of the battery on mine since I have no lights but it still has the flywheel and all in it I'm just not charging a battery. I would have thought you would need some kind of flywheel even if you really lighten it.
Yea, no flywheel so I do have to run a battery for the ignition. There used to be lightened crankshafts and flywheels for the XL's but its really hard to find that now. Removing the flywheel with the stock crankshaft would be about the same weight as having a lightened crank and flywheel on it. The lighter weigh helps it spin up easier out of the turns in my opinion.
Awesome bike👍
starts like a old honda first kick once the key is on
back in the day these old hondas would start second kick every time
not like the crap they make now
Nice looking bike man
Thanks!
where did you get the rubber foot pegs, and what is the gas tank from?
They're both from different model Hondas. Just from a junkyard so not sure which models.
@@OneDownFourUp thanks for the info im 78 years old and once did TT flat track won several races back in the day. i used your video to help set up my 1974 xl250 looks like your flat track xl. don't race just like to work and restore the old bikes.
@@frankdillon6127 Thats cool. If you ever want to go to a race look up AHRMA events, they have a few throughout the US mostly on the east coast and some on the west coast.

@@OneDownFourUp yeah, love all motorcycle racing especially flat track and TT. I live in Las Vegas mostly desert racing around here. one thing you didn't show on your engine build was the pushing down of the cam chain spring device and locking it,to give that needed room to slide the chain on the cam sprocket.no biggie I figured it out . I know you had to edit the video, it was very good info though. thanks I keep watching your videos.
Shit dude this is a sweet bike
Thanks!
Very Cool Bike.
Thank you!
nice bike
The 125-250cc class will make most better racers, if they put in the time.
I don't know if it was the Sun or the video, but your rear wheel looks like it was hopping up and down quite a bit... Just sayin'... Good stuff thanks for posting
Yea, the track was pretty rough that day.
@@OneDownFourUp Good to know my almost 80 year old eyes are STILL working pretty well. Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. My flat track Days are Over takes too long to heal now. Happy New Year
@@dwightbernheimer331 Thanks! Happy New Year
@@OneDownFourUp thanks for taking the time to respond...
great
Thanks!
Why do you need a battery if you got a kick start it
The ignition runs off the battery.
