-82 430, Renovation

Hello Dave J and Josegull.

Dave, your bikes looks great esp the -black -82, this is my machine this evening, its a xc430-82, not much work to make it run and then shake down. (The shake down on my -72 seams never to end, this year it will!

Best Regards !

The good, the getting there and the ugly

82-430XC, before the detail guys shoot me, yes the tank is wrong. The perfect black tank is on my shelf because everyone that looks at it rubs there finger on it and says "thats shiny". The red tank goes on my 82-CR250 "in process" White one is a 84 WR250, before the detail guys reload- I put a 83CR250 tank/seat on it. Sorry cant embrace the newer stuff yet. The ugly, 82-CR250 was my $200 Christmas present to myself. Good friend bought it brand new, changed a couple of hands over the years but always looked nice. Last few years looks like it went down the "meth" road a couple of times. Got the pink slip with it which surprised me. It was still in my friends name from new. Runs good but will be next winters project.

well somebody asked, so here it is .
1984 husky 500 ,started life as an ae but after a lot of problems the previous owner got hold of an 86 motor (water cooled) took off barrel and head and put on the head and barrel from ae motor so now has 5 speed box . i have changed nearly every nut and bolt and every bearing .frame has been shot blasted and powder coated ,engine completly stripped ,painted and put back together with new gaskets and every bearing done and i mean every bearing, new clutch,rear shocks were stripped and rebuilt by falcon shocks( wish i had repainted them) and all put back together with love and affection.
after nearly 20 years off from the sport i entered a twinshock race last sept and blow me if i didnt come away with a first overall after having a bloody good day racing with dave j .
more pics to follow.

and another.
got a new seat cover on the way and am trying to get a tail can to get rid of the spark arrestor job thats on there.
unfortunately after a couple meetings and a couple practice outings it doesnt quite look like this now ..

even some shiney bits for all you magpies out there

Nice bike, forgot how nice it was,

Very nice looking bike!

My 250 gone but not forgotten

My 430 from a few years ago

my current 430

That 430 looks sweet. Quick question about the dual leading shoe brake set-up. What is that off of? I know of an 81 XC 430 for sale localy and was wondering if it to would have such a brake set-up?

Lefty, IIRC I've seen your ex-82 500 for sale recently. Really dig that 430.

Here is the 510 from my friend,he will ride this version in the vmx series
of Germany.

Regards to all , Kay

Sorry for this delay,here comes the pics.

Dig the white wheels and leg-burner pipes, Sven. Neat bike.

Where can I find a rear fender like that with the number plates molded in? Always loved that look. Didn't Kawasaki have those stock back in the 80's?

Hey NFG,

here's the link from a guy in Austria http://www.enduroklassiker.at/artik...=7&PHPSESSID=377dcb8c3c28f17458804dfd5aacda62
In his shop you can find many vintage plastic parts and i think he will ship worldwide.
