    Has to be married, if you look close the stairs aren't cluttered with riding gear, boots, helmets and the other clue.....table=not full of bike magazines, bike parts, beer cans and pizza boxes.

    My wife is very patient as the "tech tip" post stated. My garage/shop is attached to the house. I have a 39 Chevy coupe "gasser" It only runs on 114 Purple Plus gas. She said she didn't mind the smell of that race gas exhaust filtering into the house-"smells sweet". We had that light beige carpet in the house for five years, four year old that would let the dog in the house with muddy feet did it in- I may have accelerated it also. Long summer of hardwood floor refinishing was worth it.

    Can I be of assistance? Think I can help you find a 390 standard shift or I can help you with your auto, I have a few of my own. I am north of Pittsburgh not to far from Ohio line. Email me at mctavish30@windstream.net if I can help. John

    Josegull- you must have done some serious re-jetting?

    :) Yes, the jetting is changed...in fact...I have changed the complete Carburetor.
    The bike is made for Vintages racing in the pre 70 class with Ikon shocks, Mikuni VM36 carb and soon PVL ignition.
    The bike is starting to work real fine !
    No its up to me...Right shift and short suspension is a challange!

    Here is my 1988 te 510 I bought from the original owner somewhere around 1996. Other than the sportster mufflers because the steel parts of the original ones got so corroded even I gave up on them and the 85-85 floppy disc front brake I like better it is stock best as I can remember. I hadn't used it for quite a few years but it sounds like the quads commonly heard in the area so I got it going again. It was registered in Connecticut so I could re register it there however in West Virginia they have annual inspection stickers. It is hard to believe that a four valve per cylinder mono shock bike is vintage. I guess I need to get a few seat covers for my various bikes and the swingarm protectors probably should be formed in the shape they are to be used in as this one was broken at the bend and I have bought a bunch of them and made a bunch of them.

    Nice Bikes!

    Dave J

    You have some really nice bikes !
    My friend SweHusky are in the middle of restoring his XC 430 -82 and your picture will give him a great boost to finishing it :thumbsup:

    I bought a WR430 1983 (with -84 plastic) this saturday and your photos make me sure that I have done the right thing.

    Felt that I needed a machine with long legs :)
