Big thanks to a ripper bloke, Mr. Shoemark, my "factory" ride is ready to rock. Thanks again mate.
Cheers,

wont see you for dust Mick :D

Your welcome 8)
-
that is so well presented, brilliant
-
Nice looking bike, sounded good too, Mick looked like a little kid riding his Dads bike, the suspension was too still for him ;-)
-
Other than some suspension tweaking, the big girl is a sweet ride. Felt like I finally found some flow towards the end of the session. Wasn't happy about the push back to the car after using a full tank of fuel! John's track is a real hoot to ride.

Hey mick, I ran out of juice over the back as well but managed to grease my way back to the car on the last drops in the bottom of the tank..it was close! its a nice easy track to ride other than the "Hinton switchback" on top of the hill. I just couldn't sort that out... when I thought I had it I would hit a loose rolly rock and it would be all over...its a neat challenge!
-
I think nearly everyone has run out of fuel there, I guess it's rare to have a track where your on the mainjet for so long? With four 4th/5th gear straights.

I wish this track was in Qld so I could ride it. Rare to get a fast and flowing track where you can really wind them out these days.
-
I actually like the switchback, it's an interesting part of the track & I didn't have any drama's there.. A ski jump off the top of the hill after that and couple others here and there & the track will be complete. Wish it was in my back yard.

Harrisville....!!!!

we discussed the ski jump and we thought we could pull the switch back right round on itself and go back down the hill then return and put a ski just short of the brow so you can jump down the hill nicely....

where can I get a rear mudguard like that for my husky?

Certainly won't be found in a beauty parlor ;D ;D. They are an acquired taste shall we say 8)

It's an '82 KTM MC rear mudguard. DC have them.

Great looking bike.
A bit off topic but been trying to work out where the CR500 82 fits in to the models.
Was the first one to come out the 82.5 silver streak?
Is it the same frame as the CR430?
-
Yep & yep.
-
But, they will have a different range of numbers.
-
With the result, some seemingly 82.5 silver streaks may infact be of doubtful providence and integrity, made up from perhaps a parts bin of five other 80's Swedish machines from 125 capacity upwards. Check frame numbers, check for restamping of numbers, which may well be a criminal offense? Certainly, true values are impacted.
-
Twin shock frame changed in 83 and easy to tell apart from 82 model so there won't be any replicas using 83 or later frames. The first 500 air cooled engine appeared in 82.5. Last was made in 84. So a fake 82.5 will be using an engine from 83 or 84 and a frame from 81 or 82 most likely. Will be a beast of a bike ;D
-
And could even be a 125 frame. Probably not a problem unless you have paid $12k thinking it was the real deal.
-
82/83/84 all have the same engine number 2094.
-
And many of the bikes with race history will possibly not have an engine number at all.
