    Got busy over the summer turning one of my 430's into a super moto. I started with what I called my "Survivor". A pretty much stock and original 1987 430wr. I found it in Flint MI back in 2011, off a craigslist ad and had it shipped to me. I rode it a couple of times on short rides and ran good on the bottom but couldn't get it to run right on the top end. I got busy and set it aside until the pandemic hit and drug it out the basement. First goal was to get it running right. I got lucky right off the bat and found the two piece intake manifold leaking at the 2-bolt flange. Once I got it running right I didn't see any reason to do a full COSMETIC rebuild. So I'm leaving it SWEATY.

    I modified all the parts to fit the bike, so I can always return it to original.

    Updates and Mods. include:

    NOS 48mm Aprilia SXV Forks
    2012 Husky Triples
    NOS Alta Motors (electric) Warp 9 17"wheels,
    NOS Brembo 320mm Radial Front Brake
    Nissin Rear Disc Brake,
    Hydo clutch
    Mikuni TMX Carb.
    Oversized Pegs
    SMR front fender
    NOS Skid Plate, Pipe Protector, Radiator Guards
    Dynoport pipe
    Q Stealthy Silencer

    Takes away from the photo and no Full Size photos either.
    Can the Photo Bucket Logo be removed?
    I don't think I like this new Photo upload method that CH is using!!!

    http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/430sm.91060/

    I've noticed that only the Vintage section will not allow to upload files!!!

    What's up with that??
