The kickstarter was what started the whole nickel plate thing.
I was looking to tighten up the clearance to reduce slop.
It is now perfect

Hidez,

BRP raise and offset perches with titanium hardware

The ultimate in light weight and roominess (430 grams, how appropriate for my 430) SWEET!

Really enjoying your build-up, Mr. Dez. Keep it coming...

I have no idea what he shot it with but it looks nice!

Yes, BRP perches.
I drilled a hole at the same offset just under the minor dia. of the 12mm thd. for lightening purposes.
Washers and screws are titanium from Racebolts.com and they are drilled and machined for maximum lightness.
I will check the weight the stock perches and hardware just to see what kind of weight saving i got.

Thanks Pick,
Just recieved my new ignition yesterday so i pulled the stk. Motoplat.

Having trouble removing the crank seal retaining plate though,Any suggestions?

Got it sprayed down with penetrating oil and was tapping on it with a 1/2" alum. rod with no movement.

Putty knife. George

Good call George,
I need to send you my kickstarter case to look at.

Can you do anything to get the pawl to engage sooner?

J.D. Jetting 38 mm Keihin PWK air striker carb upgrade

Inlet spigot is 3mm larger than than stock 38mm VM Mikuni but fits nicely, just make sure the rubber is fresh and warm.

overall lenght of the PWK Keihin carb is about 6.5mm shorter than the Mikuni so iam fabricating a 1/4" phenolic spacer to put it in perfect position for full air filter boot engagement.

Added benefit to the phenolic spacer is thermal insulation for the reed block and carb and a longer intake producing a little more torque.

Contact J.D. jetting at:
jdjetting.com

complete carb with J.D. jetting kit is only $239!

Bangin deal

Kick it through hard a couple of times-worked for me!!! Scott

Does he do the required metal straightening to the tank? Or did you have to have it straightened somewhere else first?

Dang Dez,
Looking great. Nice work!
