Merci Michel!

Did you look inside the fork?-the aluminum damper rings wear out kinda'
quick.

I was in the forks- cleaned and replaced seals. Which rings? The bushings weren't too bad and the action felt good.

If you are talking about a conical spacer that the damper rod goes through, they were not in my 1986 forks but are in both of the 1987 EVO fork sets I have. I am missing 1 and they are no longer available OEM so I will be making a few.

Thanks Jim, I think I had both damping cones in my forks. When you get them done can you post pictures?

The 87 damping rod have the valving in the bottom of the damping rods, If you look back a few years , some has already done that. Look at parts schematics for both the 1986 and 1987 forks. The 1986 is the last of the standard damping rods to my knowledge as I found Husky Products rods in my 1986 forks.

Hey Eric, I am working a similar deal with d/c plastic on my 87 430 tank shrouds. Did you bargain a deal for letting them mold yours? I am in negotiations now with them.

Not really. I told them what parts to swap from the CR kit to make it a WR/WRX kit and they sold it to me for the price of the CR kit. The WR number plate and rear Fender cost a little bit more individually, so I came out slightly ahead, but I had no intention to negotiate the deal of the century.

Eric, can you post pictures when you get them? Let us know what you think.

I am just beginning a rebuild on an 86 400 WR LC. Bought as a basket case last summer (engine in one piece). I downloaded a manual from the internet (not the best quality and in swedish) and am now just cracking on . Your pictures are very helpful and i will probs reach out for help if thats ok - most on this thread seem experienced rebuilders ; i am not but love these big Swedes! Cheers

Ahh, I see. thanks bud.

For what it is, pretty decent. As with other other DC plastics, they're not molded the same way the originals are, so the vents aren't open and some of the structural ribs are not present.

Alistair, hva factory should have an engrish pdf manual for you available to down load. I printed mine out so its in the workshop. was great for working out what bolt went where after the box of em came back from the platers.

Hello Alistair, welcome to the forum! Happy to give any help I can. Hall Husqvarna has parts manuals in English available to download. If you're in Ontario, you're not too far away from Rochester. I live nearby.

Thanks Eric, they look fine for a rider.

Exactly!
Given the lack of vents, if you pick it up, I'd definitely pick up a strip of the heat-resistant tape as well (unless of course you keep some of that in the supply cabinet to begin with).

I might wrap the pipe in that area anyways-good suggestion.

better than have no sidepanel at all

not much of a compliment
