[86 400 XC]

Is that a new fender on the front? I would love to find a new 1 like that.

 

[highdez1981430cr]

no it came with the bike,it is a Acerbis with open and closing rear vent that i removed.

I see you have the disc front wheel. Sort of!

sandblasting front disc,then i will put on with master cyl. lever and hose on.

How do you like the down pipe and dust boot vintage look?

 

[Picklito]

The down pipe looks very Maico!

Its the silencer support that does that.
Later i am going to make one out of titanium and match the angle of the rear shocks.
Have you ever ran a Mossbarger reed block? looking for more mid to top.
If i ever did another resto i would like a 1982 490 spider,next to husky`s they are way cool.

I have never personally run a Mossbarger. Liked the stock power.

I have a better Idea. Get a sleeve made to 82.5m/m bore and use the standard 400cc l/c piston.

The reason for this is twofold:
1. You can go from 82.5 all the way up to 88m/m in re-bores, and
2. The barrel will be less likely to crack where the middle hole is where the reed block bolts on (a common failure point).


Hope this helps!

Hey I just jumped from the start and to the end.. I'm going to enjoy going through everything in between now.. Thankyou for posting!!! I love this stuff!!!

Here I am at the 1982 Mauna kea 200 . I'm in the middle with the black helmet and the black and yellow fox chest protector.. or should I say about 50 lbs ago!!! This was my original 430xc that has actually got me to get my 430 that I have now. I'm going to enjoy reading this thread now and hopefully get some good ideas to set up my current 430. I appreciate you sharing!! Thanks!!!

I really like that front disc brake.. and the black stock tank you put on is exactly what I like. It's beautiful. I'm going to investigate some kind of rear disc brake setup in the future . The downpipe reminds me of my Bultaco I had.. It should be excellent for the sand. I got an old white tank like this to use until I redo the stock tank .. I never saw a black plastic one before.. I did see a yellow though. Hey that skid plate looks great too!!! Thanks! I'll need that where I'll be riding my husky.

My next add on is a Thunder Products Intelajet system from:
www.thunderproducts.com
Here are some pictures of how it is mounted on my carb.
simply drill and tap a 10-32 hole and position it in centerline of carb bore.

If you or anyone else out there is looking for a super quiet and lightweight silencer for a 390 or 430 i have a custom made aluminum silencer/sparkarrestor that i only ran one day and then i decided to go with a down pipe.
It was custom made to my specs by the owner of Dynoport pipes and it comes with high temp. silicone connector.

Looks very interesting, please make sure to post a ride report.

I wasn't planning on getting a pipe...I mean silencer/spark arrestor . Mine looks good but...
Sounds interesting.. How much you looking to get for it?

I only used it on one ride and i would like to get half what i paid for it.it will shave off probably 3 lbs and close to 4 decibles quieter.

This is where i mounted the fuel and air mixture manifold using a piece of 1" alum. ange iron so i could adjust it on the fly!

Who needs fuel injection when you can have a Thunder Products adjustable carb set up!

This is one of the best things that i have put on my no holds barred resto-mod project.

This thing is amazing and the performance gain for bang for the buck is mind blowing.

I thought that most of the gains would be at top end as this is like having a secound stage to your main jet.

The biggest benefit was felt in the low to mid as you are dropping your main jet 3-4 sizes (more the smaller your bore size is)and the top end is amazing as the 1/2 to full throttle is supplied with atomized fuel and air boost that will make your bike rev to the moon!

My Dyno was Pismo beach sand dunes, the only place you can ride a raging 430 CR like a 125 pro Moto guy.
