1985 500CR

Frames back from the powdercoaters, nice job! 85 500CR and 88 400WR

I dismantled the forks, but notice that one damper rod is a little different to the other.
One has something in the lower hole, the other has nothing, I doubt this is the way they came from Sweden, anyone have a pic of their damper rods for reference?

What does the end of the rod look like are the inserts in the same distance? With the bolt out you should be able to see thru and maybe push thru the hole and see what it is, maybe a burr?

Any update on your build?

Apologies for the slow progress, been busy prepping my 88 250WR, 85 400WR and 88 400WR for this seasons Vinduro events.
Frame looks great powdercoated, piston has arrived, I've sourced a 400 bottom end with beautiful cases and a very nice 6 speed transmission, just waiting for the crank verdict to come back.
Of course I found some more issues that require rectification like flogged out bearing pocket in rear wheel and brake backing plate, but I planned on completely dismantling the wheels to plate the spokes anyway so I'll have the hub repaired at the same time.
