A day in the life of: www.hva-factory.com

Got my stuff in 4 days to Rhode Island. Awesome service.

Time to make another list.

Thanks!

Time we made a list of the next 10 things we need to make....

Any suggestions?

Andy.

carry Ferodo brake shoes. EBC is having anyone/everyone make them for them. very hit and miss on compound quality

81-83 tanks "in the raw" (unpainted)

headlights from something else possibly that fit the original shells there has got to be some automotive application for a better price. save the originals for show bikes

water cooler repair insert (tough one there)

good old Acerbis Elba headlight in white. tough to find now

the old husky products damper rods for the pre evo 40mm forks.

love what you guys are doing! doing what you love for a job is awesome.

390/420 auto 1st gear clutch springs and shoes!! part #161255601 and 161265701 also the peg or pin #161269501

1) Bottom end bearing and/or seal sets. Or even an 'engine rebuild kit' (bearings, seals, gaskets all in one shot).
2) I'm with Joe on the headlight thing. I've got a DC Plastics headlight/number plate, and a sealed beam 5 3/4" headlight fits it well, but have had difficulty finding a retaining ring that fits the sealed beam light and the plastic headlight/number plate (most are for cars and have 4-5 bolt positions instead of the 3 in the plastic front piece). If you could sell all 3 (plastic, light, ring), or even the sealed beam light with ring that fits the plastic (of the DC plastic things I do have, the headlight/number plate is one of the more 'true to original' pieces), that would be a fraction of the price of the original stuff, and save the originals for the museum crowd.

The Elba headlight in white is easy to find new in the UK.

I just got 2 of these, NOS for 150 shipped for both
Speedo cable and brake hose all included

not an elba very close but not original elba

I know, i found those on Ebay from Halls after i bought the Elba

Here is my Elba

+1 on the lights

Anything husky products or pro circuit!

We are moving away from EBC to some new shoes that have the metal particles in them - like the Genuine Husky ones did...
Getting batches of 4t pistons made in the unavailable sizes soon...
Regarding the Autoroche headlamps, they made us a batch of 50 with the 3 lugs last time. I will ask if they will do us some sealed beam ones and also a Bosch alternative for the later bikes...
Building a pair of very trick 450cc 1984 Liquid cooled 2t's for the VMXDN at Farleigh in September.
Going over to the K2 single shock fork is better and use a progressive spring. This is a better fork upgrade...
Sorry - we wont do the Auto stuff - that is too small a market!
Will think up some other new stuff!!!

Thanks for all the input,

Andy.

how are you 450ing the 400?

Not using a 400. 125 / 84 Frame and 430 Motors bored to max with nikasil liners in bored out Cylinders!

Andy.

You mean brass shoes ?

Hi Micheal,
Yes, the brass shoes.

Marty

Tall red M8 nylock nuts, like they had on the 70's bikes.

that doesn't look like any stock husky frame i ever saw does it ????

Zoke Magnums Andy? Nice
any thought to using 96-98 RM conventional forks......amazing forks. 49mm though may look too modern 97-98 have less underhang than the 96 ones
