need a radiator shroud for 1983 YZ80K

[Doc]

needed to complete a plastics set for a project. Left and right covers from the same would be nice too but that's probably pushing things a little so just the rad cover for now would be great if you spot one(within oz)). Cheers

G'day Doc, Have you tried Brad 090 ?

[090]

I reckon i have the side covers or one at least. Rad shroud, is it black or red?

[caps 999]

its a red one on the yz80k

[Doc]

thanks for looking Brad. I think I may have looked already but it's a red sucker and only one on the right as caps said this is a project I was going to can but I've had a change of heart since it's now lived here for more than a few months and I've become attached to it..XR80 into YZ80K but I cannot figure a way of fitting the carb without cutting and modifying the frame apparently the early motors have a different angle of the dangle and they fit but alas..an '81ish XR80 motor is what I've got

[caps 999]

use an xr100 manifold i may have one here

[Doc]

  is it that simple!!!  never thought of that..thanks caps..will hunt around locally if you've not got a spare

[caps 999]

ill have a look the 100 manifold is a bit shorter and has a slight bit more angle it may be what your after ill take a look once im finished work 

[caps 999]

got one mate yours for the cost of post

[Doc]

ripper caps! I'll give it a shot will see if it cures my woes and if not I'll post it right on back

[caps 999]

there no real issue to me there sitting gathering dust you may have saved em a trip to the tip

Wheres the pics of this conversion Doc?  I,m brewing some Honda ,Yamaha and few other odd bits together up myself ,had to do something a bit different,

[Doc]

ah KB! just the man I need to speak to I'll go and take some pics soon, I did have some online a while ago but they're probably dead links by now. It's just a 'basically' stock YZ80K and I wish to fit the XR80 motor (preferably without modding the frame tubes) It had an early model fitted. Lower mount was made by a plate between the frame cradle and using the XR footrest mounts as engine mounts. The others mount were simply stock YZ with adapter plates (yet to make) I'll get some pics...

Caps, I'll be in touch shortly about the manifold thanks a squillion, I can never have too many options

A mate of mine jambed a XL125 in a yz80, he couldn't clear the frame with the carby either,he got a manifold made out of s/steel tube and flat plates in a S bend, worked a treat,  ;)It should be a good handling little weapon when its finished :)Cheers KB.

[Doc]

KB did you not show me a photo of that bike?? I seem to recall something along those lines and it was much the same model. It's a nothing project really as most clubs won't allow mini's to run but it's perfectly suited to my size. Same with the RM80Z, it's a waste really as there is no class for the vintage mini so most sit in the corner of garages doing nothing
