Who's pipe?

The pipe and silencer are Pro-form Racing,made in the States and superb quality.

Superb looking bike mate... if I'm going to be anal I don't like the modern gold rims...but that's only a minor criticism.

I've got my '82 430 in bits at the moment....the gearbox took a bit of a battering from Dave Thorpe at Farleigh this year. Him and Dickie Dye rode it for charity and did 10 races on her...poor girl.

Engine is being done by my old man who worked for Husqvarna so I'm expecting a top job... In the pic the wheels are like yours. I've managed to get a pair of almost brand new Nordisk rims to go on her rather than the Jap ones....I'll post some more pics once I get going on her.

 

[Stupot]

The original rims were shot and i couldn't drop on a set of Nordisk,so i went for the Morad.Bought a set of original rims last summer and have just had them blasted and painted,just like the early ones.look forward to seeing more pics as the rebuild progresses.

Stu,

I've got a vintage Iron pipe from the states on mine at the moment and too be honest I don't really like it. I'm going to get a Domar one from HVA-factory.

I know you said you don't ride anymore, but have you ridden your 430 with that pipe arrangement on it ? Mine has a Mossbarger reed block on it and I just don't seem to be able to get her to run right off the bottom...she seems to hesitate a bit almost like she is running a bit rich...?

Have you changed the jetting at all for the pipe or left alone ?

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,
i got this exhaust off maico only they import them from the states, give them a call great quality.The bike is on standard reedblock and yes she is running a bit on the rich side,so i have just bought some different sized pilot and main jets.Will you be at the Telford offroad show in February,i am showing the 430 and an 81 250 which is nearing completion.

Regards Stuart

Hi Stuart,

I've got my eye on a Domar one from HVA first, they are retailing for about £250.

Yes I'm definately going to the show, I'm going to ask Alan Wright if I can show my '82 430 (hopefully it will be finished by then). I'm taking my old man who worked for Brian Leask Husqvarna from mid 60's til early 80's. He was Bryan Wade's mechanic mainly, but also spannered for Mikkola a couple of times when he came over for the Hants Grand international.

Cheers,

Steve

I got a pro-form and I must say its some of the worst welding I've ever seen. the ones here don't look much better. There are actual holes in it, its terrible. The weld on the last pic upper left is by my exhaust man. He said 'shame, you could have made a really nice pipe for this'. I have painted it and if anything it looks worse. Don't buy one.

Vintage Iron and Proform seem to be taking quite bad raps lately for horrible welding and fitment. I'm personally thinking of Geoff Morris out of Australia for my CR390 even though Vintage Iron and ProForm are local...

Hello,

Here are a few pics of my Geoff Morris Pipe on my 430. Great workmanship. That is a great looking 430 shown above !! Oh - if only their was some way to keep
the blue/ heat lines around the weld it would even look more sic. Flash rust from cold and hot days in texas left condensation from night and had to polish off flash rust.

 

[Picklito]

Holy Smokes, Gary! That think is beautiful! Nicely done.

Gary,that bikes a beauty,great welding on the pipe.

 

[Stupot]

I dont have a problem with my PRF pipe.OK, there is quite a bit of undercut on the welding but it doesn't leak,secondly i havent yet seen an aftermarket pipe where there hasn't been undercut on a butt weld,the Geoff Morris pipe excluded.
