no need to, ....it will break off shortly!

Fired up 2nd kick. Happy Husky dance
Kick stands looks like @ss no matter what.
Well if i cut it some more it leans way over. lol
But i have too....

Oh, "kickstand"... I thought it was a pole vault.

lol


Here we go









shocks painted, waiting on powder coating of the springs in black.
Yellow backgrounds on the number plates will make it look even better

Number 57

Right on, its off the bike lift and ready to tune at the track.

Thanks John.

Got the numbers off ebay, they are made by Petty and they have tin nuts on the back side.

Bike goes really good, so happy with it.

Congrats! The 430 is a SWEEEET motor.

Been over 20 years since i rode a 430. The last one was an 82 XC i owned in the 80s.
Motor is so SWEEEET! + The flat side 38mm carb and internal flywheel makes the motor spool up so fast.

Cool pic

I really like what you have done with the bike. I haven't been on here in awhile and am doing kinda the same thing with one of mine.

Scott

is that the stock kick starter on the 430? mines a funky peice of steel kick lever not a nice aluminium one like yours.

also, is there a good way to start these? mines got a new piston and rings, lots of compression but is a pain to get fired.

its a 1982 wr 430.

Hey razornpc the kick starter is from a water cooled 85 and up.
Is a bit longer which helps a bit.

Best way for me is a to
choke with no throttle
roll the motor over a few light kicks
Roll it past the hard spot, compression stroke
stand on a block, crate and kick it

all my 5 bikes start first kick just not my 75 360 lol

Update, been 3 years and the bike still together and ridden.

looks good still, my bike looks like pooh after 5 years of flogging it...
