[QUOTE="markthomps, post: 21414, member: 18626"] T-bone, start by joining AHRMA so you can surf their classified ads and get their monthly member magazine. Join at [url="http://www.ahrma.org."]www.ahrma.org.[/url] Also spend some time at the VMX magazine site at [url="http://www.vmx-mag.com"]www.vmx-mag.com[/url] Lots of stories on the older Elsinores, although you'll have to order the magazine to read them. The Links page has several web sites you need to visit, including the Elsinore site. Finally, having raced the Elsies in vintage events for several years, you need to gusset the front of the frame (it cracks), switch to a modern Mikuni, put good shocks on (Works or Progressive), and I'd advise getting a parts bike (there's lots of them out there) as a resource for missing bits and pieces. Transmissions are also a weak point on this bike, sorry to say. Actually, from your description, it's possible you already own a parts bike and you need a properly modified race-ready bike instead. They're out there and not too pricey. The Elsies have a loyal following, despite some flaws (all the old stuff has flaws, some bigger than others). Parts are out there and Honda dealers even can still get some stuff. ------------------ '81 490 Maico (King Kong!), 2000 CR250, 74-1/2 GP400 Maico, buncha street stuff [/QUOTE]
