My BAD 79 WR build

did you give any revalving information for them? more rebound?

nah, I just went with the factory settings as far as I know . Gave drew all the info for what I intend to do with the bike , woods and vintage racing. My riding weight is about 170 with riding gear on, height is 5'8" so I am hoping factory valving is ok ?

Ok, been waiting on parts again . Finally got my chain the other day
hope it performs well.

I got frustrated about my fenders so I just scraped, sanded, and polished the front for now.

This is as far as I got tonight, I did get my seat stuff in also so that is next on the to do list.

I wanted to ask if anyone would happen to know what year this fender is from?
From looking at pics on here I think it might be from the early 80's and not a 79 and would any body have a 79 for sale?

Looks the same as the one for my 84 250WR. I didn't get any rear fenders with any of my 82s

that looks right to me close enough for a rider build for sure i vote use it

Ya, it would work but it has a pretty big gap between the seat and the fender. I guess the 79 loop bar is a little higher or further back?

I made some heavier brackets for the new seat pan.



here it is all ready for the foam.

Forgot to get a pic of my new starter button. lol
I bought a new tool for the shop this saturday. (back saver)
I really needed this table, how else could I take my kickstand off and paint it ?

Just flip it upside down on the handlebars and seat, you paint under the engine as well

Hey Thanks, that really means alot to me. I have spent a lot of time doing things not many people would even know about, and of course its all been the hard way (by hand) I'm down to a few last things and then comes the big kick off.

I took one more pic after the new seat cover, pad, and pan . I bought a fender and head light housing from dc , put on the fender and still deciding on a light for the housing?
Need to run wire for the tail light and install it , order grips and a kick stand spring too.

looking good, start day comin right up....

thats a beauty.

Great looking bike. Nice job.

great work! love it

I love everything about the build except the black rims.

im a bit over black rims on the older bikes, like looking at a 68 comaro with 21 inch fooses on it...yueeech!

I try not to be too critical because everyone is free to restore a bike any way they choose, but just a personal aesthetics thing, I absolutely hate black rims on vintage bikes. I'm not really a fan of black (or the blue on Husabergs) on modern bikes because after a short time they get scratched and look terrible.
