Automatic registration

[wrx]

I own one 1986 430AE that currently has a 1984 WR400 motor in it with the 430 auto top end on it. the trans shit the bed on the auto and I had an 84 WR400 that was sitting in the leanto behind my barn waiting for a transplant. somewhat of a FRANKENBIKE.

WRX, what is wrong with the bottom end ?

 

[wrx]

unfortunately the PO left the 430AE outside with the topend off and trans sidecover off. full of water and farm debris for a few years. i bought the bike and did a ground up restoration on it and decided to use the WR400 engine in it. with a few small mods like the swing arm axle bushings in rear of center cases and a alloy and rubber carb intake boot from Phillip @ husqvarna parts. crank and cases of 430AE were rotted beyond repair.

I'm picking up this '88 430 AE with WP forks. It's the cleanest used Husky I've seen in awhile.
But it's been sitting a long while, so I will have to do a thorough inspection and service everything.

'84 500 AE. Did a ground-up resto, had Forrest Stahl do the motor. Now it sits in my garage, after having both hips replaced I am reluctant to kick start it. Maybe one day!

Not too much 500 AE in this list. It misses some OZ automatics.
I've heard that 100 x 430 ae were imported in Australia in late 80's or early 90's.

 

[oldbikedude]

Damn, like I didn't already really want an auto before this thread. Thanks for twisting the knife. Maybe someday....

Michel, as a matter of interest how many different owners are there? It seems that a lot owners have several, it would effect how often they get ridden, hence the need for the elusive transmission spares

I know its been discussed before, but if we have the numbers I think we Auto owners-lovers should have our own sub-forum heading.

What do you think.....

[Michel Dufayard]

There are 19 automatic owners in my list now.
From 1 to 9 bikes per owner.

Absolutely, us Auto guys need a sub forum. It would be a great place to collect all AE questions and info.
I know we have tried before to get it done... who has the magic power on CH to do it?

 

[grouty]

I still don't think it's the way ahead. Segregation from the main 'Left Kickers' site would (I think) be a backward step. Let's keep us all together.
