88 auto is in the house :)

[86 400 XC]

Some one flipped it good and bent the silencer mount






I had a feeling that decal placement was very odd.

My '86 and both of my '88 models have suffered the same chain/brake lever rash on that sidecover, I simply bend the mount point out enough for the cover to clear the chain at full suspension compression.

I had my boot push 1 in as the bike was compressing last weekend, it never broke or chewed it.
I heard it in time.

Got back on the bike tonight.

1 more thing hurt from what ever, poor bike... Bolt is bent bad and cover smashed.
At first, i was like wow its so round still and nice, then i saw it.

That cover looks like it's had a major impact?

I hope you disinfected it thoroughly after being in "that" box?

It was traveling in incognito! It's safer that way!

Whatever oil you use, change it a lot, more then your NON -auto's & you'll be fine...

what did you wet sand them with
what did you end up getting from Chris??

 

[86 400 XC]

800,1500 and then used a Mothers head light restoration kit with the power ball and polishing compound.

Shoes and springs, a few different ones. 1 set was for a 4 speed but will resell them.

No, i did use Comet with water at times.

Bushing spacers from my buddy.

Got things rolling now.

Kickstand back to OEM.

 

[86 400 XC]

All the parts came in.

So i have some NOS 390/420 parts to sell i think.
The primary shoes in brass, springs and the hub center are not 3 speed at a glance.


Starting to look like 1 of my bikes more and more...

Just love this era, the 87/88 2 stroke.

The machine is so close to running for the first time in Canada.
Made the skid plate and changed the pipe.
Went through the transmission.

Looking good. What pipe is it?
