    DSC02576.JPG DSC02572.JPG Well I have a work in progress 1987 wr430,purchased from the original owner.I listened to an hour of stories about this bike.It has some pretty neat upgrades to make it function better in all areas. The Up-tite nickel chrome plated pipe and the Suzuki inverted forks,rebuilt and re valved Ohlins rear shock,heavy duty skid plate,Rental bars make it a great comfortable bike.
    I bought it looking like a bad dream,missing radiator shrowds,the ignition was bad(story in itself),sun beaten etc.But I took my time looked,searched and walla here it is.

    those forks are off of an 89/90 rm/rmx 250. same exact forks as an early Italian Husky. they are KAYABAS. (KYB)

    i have a complete 2000 cr250r (honda) front end on my 1986 wr400. all i had to do was machine the o.d. of the bearing races .015 on a cylindrical grinder to fit in the husky frame and made a 1/4 " spacer for under the top triple clamp. pretty easy install. now it stops and the fork seals dont leak every ride. :cheers:
