1981 430 CR Restoration Mod. Project Bike

I will be listing upgrades that i will be doing to this bike and will include products and vendors used and a report card on those products and vendors.:cheers

I think these project threads are great in both tech. info and product info. I wish I had taken more before/during pics of my projects.

Good start point.

Looking forward to the progress pics

Stu

Thanks guys look forward to your feedback!

Highdez,
Pretty nice starting point. Updated forks, disc front brake, big tank, spark arrestor, aluminum bash plate, aluminum gas cap - nice upgrades already.

We are all watching. Post up before/afters.
Rick

Someday it may be as nice as your project Schim.

Waiting for tank to come back from painter.

And various parts from the nickel plate shop.

Who is the go to guy for resleeving air cooled cylinders?

Good luck on your project. Nice to see some dirt on these older machines. Looks like it saw some action recently.
Post up some pics of your progress.

LA Sleeve Company can handle your re-sleeve needs.

Thanks HWY,
LA Sleeve doesnt carry pistons for my bike.

Who makes the best pistons for my bike and who has the best prices?

Looks like i have one overbore to go so i need a 87.00mm piston and rings.

OK, then.
You can get Brand New OEM here:
http://www.husqvarnaclassic.se/
They carry them but not cheap. About $328 (ouch)
Comes with Piston, (Wiseco or Woessner) ring, circlips and wristpin.
In stock. Standard and oversize available. Site is in Swedish. Find "Kolvsats" on the right side and clicky.

Or here from Phillip:

Another options:
http://www.woessner-kolben.de/
They have the 84-88 WR430 listed but you should contact them anyway.
Standard and oversize available.

Also try Wiseco direct. They list pistons for '81 Husqvarna 250's, maybe they have them for the 430's also.

Thanks HWY,
I decided to go with Rick Horvat.
He spent alot of time with me on the phone just talking husky tech stuff.
So with that kind of customer service and $190 for a complete piston kit (piston,rings,clips and pin) he earned my business.

Miss Husky gets a new floor

sweet floor & you can't go wrong with rick!

When you put the later forks on with the disc brake did you use the later triples? The later triples put the forks a little further out from the steering head. I was just wondering as I'm putting the later front end on my 84-WR250. Thanks Scott

I purchased the bike with the front end as is.
The wheel is probably an 85-88 because of the disc.

I just purchased a set of Showa forks off a 2006 250R CRF and a complete wheel assy from a 2007 250R CRF and will look to retro fit it to my Husky.

I just need to look at the stem, or maybe just have one made.

Hey Husky T,
Wanna do a "G" job for me?

Highdez,
Floor looks great. Shiney, clean and a reflection to boot. Nice!

Hey Husky T,

A "G job" was a term i learned while working in the machineshop world and it means goverment job (when you are working on something for yourself on company time)
I just ordered my new lathe and mill so no worries mate.



Thanks,

Darrell
