My 430 start to finish

definitely want more details on the brake conversion

Timed at 2.2mm btdc and leak down test (5psi Nitrogen) finally passed.

2-Piece intake leaking everywhere!

Awesome piece of work. Nice to see someone else does a leak-down test during assembly. I found it makes the bike easier to start and to get jetting right. Having the timing is spot on also helps. Dial indicator is my preferred method as well. Can't wait to see the end result, maybe a youtube vid? hint hint.

Bitchin' looking Husky. Anything that looks that cool must be fast. So, whats your intention with it? Putt putt machine, competition, man cave display?

Thanks, I'm going to ride it. I built for the little twisty roads and highways here in MO. I've put over 300 miles on it all ready. Just short little trips around town, and Terrorizing the nieborhood. Speed bumbs and Dips at 60 no problem! Wheelies in 1-3, somtimes 4th ( all motor no clutching) top speed so far 107mph. I've gone to a differnt Silencer, made so other changes, and still dialing it in.

Now thats what a bike like this should be used for.

Other than these pictures I posted. I really haven't explained in any detail what's really been done to the bike. I'll try not to forget anything.

Now it's time to make this cover fit and add some Bling!

First off these covers do not fit the '87-88's with the larger 6 spring clutch assembly, the basket is to large.
In order to use this cover (which was a must have) I had come up with a complete '86 400 clutch assembly. Scored one on ebay.
The main difference '86 clutch hubs are held on with a circlip where the '87 is held on by a nut.
Long store short to use the '86 clutch I had to: Take 0.150" off the center of hub to allow it and the nut to seat right on the shaft.
Ground 2 new flats for the lockwash. Then reduced the size of the hex nut from a 32mm to 27mm, so the pressure plate will fit over the nut.

oddly mine is the same only reversed
have a 1985 gearbox with an 87 clutch
using the snapping and spacers to set the clutch tight

That would of been too easy!
I find it's usually easier to update like you did, than to down grade like I did with the smaller clutch.
The only benifit on this aplication is that the 5 spring clutch is lighter than the 6. How much lighter?
Not sure, I didn't have a scale to weigh but I could tell just by the human scale, holding both assemblies on in each hand.

You must of used a later model primary cover on your 85 running the 87 clutch?
I've also been working on a Rekluse for my Woods 430 using the 6 spring clutch.
Going to start a seperate thread for it, with part numbers and where to locate.
