'86 WR400 rebuild

That has never been an issue. It's usually my undies that get the brown stain.

The countershaft cover on my WRX is only half there (missing the back half and the peg for that portion is also broken off of the crankcase). It's the lowest priority fix on the bike... Can't see swapping the right crankcase side (that's otherwise fine) for an ouput sprocket cover. Maybe someday....

If the brown isn't getting past your knee, you're riding it wrong

the sprocket cover sucks anyway for something rode in the mud. just leave it off unless you want it on there.

I run without it. Unnessesary unless you are wearing bell bottoms.

Keep those photo's coming. very cool bike

Thanks Mike! I have a countershaft sprocket but I've never run on on any bike- just a case saver.
It's raining today but I hope to run it around soon.
To finish the bike I need a headlight to fit the stock shell and a tail light. The tail light looks like a British light with a back rubber mount.
Does anyone have a good picture of one? Preston Petty has the headlight but no mounting ring. Suggestions?

Here's the next project. Don't think I have to do much to this. Picking it up on the way down to York Friday.
Now I can be legal in a couple of AHRMA classes.

Another note- I tried a foam polishing wheel on the plastic. I clamped a grinder in my vise with the wheel and it worked pretty good. The higher speed takes the old discolored plastic off and will polish melt the plastic at the same time. The foam tends to grab the piece so you have to hold on!
Also want suggestions on a better alternative to Photobucket for uploading pictures. When I run the program it has too many ads and software running and slows everything down.

Also looking for a kickstand

Isn't everyone....
HVA Factory makes the bracket, as well as stand. Husqvarna-parts sells a bracket (looks an awful lot like what HVA Factory makes). I watched ebay for over a year to see a decent used side stand come up for my '85. Depending on your target price, you may be shopping for a bit.

The taillight that came on my '86 (pretty sure was stock), looked a lot like this:

Thanks Eric. I have one that looks like that on my Triumph- I can change it out. Is your black backing plate larger than the one in the photo?

Take the kickstand off your 82 CR....it looks fine! LOL!

If you actually race the CR, the stand should come off anyway

True for motocross. I just hate leaning bikes against trees

i hate others bikes leaning on my van!

Yeah, more black plastic.

Looks like a Triumph tail light with an extra black rubber spacer.
Thanks Eric!
I'll figure out how to make something similar

Thanks Michel. Unfortunately it is out of stock. I will email and ask when they might have more.
