Awesome

Scratches, I can live with, it's those darn tank dents that are a pain!

Here are some shocks done so far.

One pair I did on my own and 3 pairs I sent off to have Drew do @ WER Racing.

By the time you order a kit, chase down what the kit doesn't include, get the oil and find a place to charge them, it is not worth it .

Plus Drew can save you a buck here and there, like straighten a shaft, etc...

I will tell you A + work!

Darin your work on the bikes is great, I also followed your last projects and it gave plenty of ideas so thanks again awesome work.

Thanx guys! It is a long slow task doing 6 at once but will be worth it in the end.

I polished the reservoirs on the black and red piggys. I have a chrome and red Ohlin decal coming but they look good on the 82 CR 250. I will do the fork legs in red and black husqvarna lettering.

 

[dartyppyt]

Here are the red set on the 82. Got the red/chrome ohlins decals on.

Then I'm going after red fork legs/ black Husqvarna lettering, unless I am crazy enough to polish the lower fork legs / do red Husqvarna.

Sorry tank is a little dusty!

 

[ruwfo]

You'll need sunglasses on, just to look at all the polish & paint LOL

 

[Motosportz]

[adam6402]

[Chayzed Pilot]

Lookin good Darin. I like the red set up on the shocks. Hmmmmmmmmmm..........

 

[dartyppyt]

Thanx guys!

Even did some stuff on the 83 shocks but just didn't look right, so stayed with tradition.

Chayzed, yes yours would good in those colors.

Hay mate I used Kbs diamond clear on a 82 tank looks awesome
Did not have great result on a Crome 77 tank the adhesion promotor is a bit of hard work as the clear did not stick by its self

Yes, lil tricky to use on bare metal stuff. I kinda do a mist coat, let dry for while , mist coat , dry for while , then add coats.

You can also sand it and polish it like auto clear .

It's 4times thicker than 2k I'm a bit worried it might yellow if its to thick

No you are a ok , that stuff will not yellow.

 

[dartyppyt]

Ok this is one bottom end completely rebuilt. 82CR 430.

I used STP oil treatment to coat everything during assembly. That stuff is slickery and sticks to everything like honey.

I also sprayed empty case webs with good coat of white lithium grease to help with corrosion down road.

Cases completely beed blasted and re painted. All studs, bushings, lever completely replated.

Many thanks to Gary M, Forest Stahl, Phillip @ Husqvarna-parts, and Raymond @ Halls Cycles.

Oh, I can't leave out Ron !

Andy @ HVA, not leaving you out, parts from you are still down the road yet!

For temporary, I made one of them kicker holders out of aluminum till I get the plastic one some day.

Waiting for my new case bolts to show up but they not here yet.

Time to space bag it till get two more bottom ends done and all the cylinder bored with new pistons.

 

[suprize]

get an "extended clutch arm" makes a big difference.

That donk looks better than new, real nice
