They look good !

HighDez.. did you get my post about the photobucket acct... check your pm?

Putting a compressed zip folder in here is overkill. Let me know if you still need help or if you got the pm linking to the photobucket imaging instructions.

Highdez,
Corrosion resistance w/ a shine. Better than stock ever was. Looks good. Nice progress.

more nickel stuff for miss Husky

The kickstarter was what started the whole nickel plate thing.
I was looking to tighten up the clearance to reduce slop.
It is now perfect

Hidez,
I like shiney. That stuff looks shiney. I like those parts.

BRP raise and offset perches with titanium hardware

The ultimate in light weight and roominess (430 grams, how appropriate for my 430) SWEET!

Very nice! Who/whom is your painter?

Can you post information on the black paint ( specifics ) that I can add to the Tech Ref Forum. Please post up details.

Are these BRP Mounts with the bolt heads machined for weight savings? Drilled washers?

Titanium Bolts?

I have no idea what he shot it with but it looks nice!

 

[highdez1981430cr]

Yes, BRP perches.
I drilled a hole at the same offset just under the minor dia. of the 12mm thd. for lightening purposes.
Washers and screws are titanium from Racebolts.com and they are drilled and machined for maximum lightness.
I will check the weight the stock perches and hardware just to see what kind of weight saving i got.

Thanks Pick,
Just recieved my new ignition yesterday so i pulled the stk. Motoplat.

Having trouble removing the crank seal retaining plate though,Any suggestions?

Got it sprayed down with penetrating oil and was tapping on it with a 1/2" alum. rod with no movement.

J.D. Jetting 38 mm Keihin PWK air striker carb upgrade

Inlet spigot is 3mm larger than than stock 38mm VM Mikuni but fits nicely, just make sure the rubber is fresh and warm.

overall lenght of the PWK Keihin carb is about 6.5mm shorter than the Mikuni so iam fabricating a 1/4" phenolic spacer to put it in perfect position for full air filter boot engagement.

Added benefit to the phenolic spacer is thermal insulation for the reed block and carb and a longer intake producing a little more torque.

Contact J.D. jetting at:
jdjetting.com

complete carb with J.D. jetting kit is only $239!

Bangin deal

Does he do the required metal straightening to the tank? Or did you have to have it straightened somewhere else first?

Dang Dez,
