 Welcome aboard, where are you ?
I have 2 XL 350,s in stock frames, one is a 410..  An old buddy of mine built a Champion XL in the mid 70,s..still has it.
Another guy I hang out with bought a Champion 350 sideport this weekend but not sure when it arrives. He just finished building a Champion Suzuki 250.
We have a track 40 miles from here and race vintage flattrack. that is in Vernon BC .
 Got any question about yours or what to run, which wheels are you running?

"You should be able to get that front rim drilled nice to fit  :)"

Agree. It can be drilled. Will do if I can re-use the spokes. (They should come apart OK)
If not I don't want to invest the xtra $100 for spokes on that rim.
Will spend the xtra bucks on a Sun rim to match the back if I need spokes.
Should probably wait on the front rim for a while as the bucks could probably be put to better use.
It spins true but looks goofy. New Glass Friday, shocks tomorrow. The old glass is pretty beat. New glass will add motivation. LOL LOL. 2 week + wait on the caliper hanger.......... That's kinda holding things up.

if it was me I might even mark the rim for the correct angle and drill it myself doing ea. spoke one at a time..  ::)  Not that i'm recommending not bringing it to Buchanan's..

He had that cover off, said it was marked ARD...
He also has a Champion framed Suzuki 250..its pretty competitive, but the XL has way mote torque and wider power band.. The XL hits the track on Monday,hedoesnt have the starterfor it.. Something will probably. Power the starting rollers with my 750...
1080 has a pic of that..
