I can't wait to hear that this is ready! I purchased a motor last year, and this will surely make me want to start on this project with a more positive outlook!

I know it doesn't seem like it but I am working on this one too. I'm trying to get the '82 assembled and I'm wait for parts for the '83.
Here's where it is the motor mounts are done. They’re a lot more involved than the ones for the '82. I'm working on the kicker problem.
I've ordered a custom female splined shaft and a male splined shaft. Each has the same splines as the kicker. What I'm thinking is building a bracket that will attach on the kicker side under the swinger nut. The whole thing would be a bolt on item. The bracket will have a bronze bushing in it and will be able to support the kicker shaft extension. The assembly should be "clean" when I'm done.
The spline shafts where a custom order and they had to make it so I'm still waiting for it to show. When it does I should be able to get everything wrapped up pretty quick.

Anyone know where I can find a extended swinger for an 84 R? Oh and the electronics for the 83 CR 480R?

Does anyone know if the 82 cr 480 electronics while work for the 83 480's...Having trouble finding an 83 coil, but I'm seeing them for the 82's. And if so, will the 82 coil work with the 82 CDI or should I use electronics for the same years? I know this is a 3wheeler forum, but as soon as Bigbore is manufacturing the mounts I'm putting in the beast....

How's this build coming along? Do you have motor mounts you want to sell?
Work has been a killer. I have 2 different gun projects that I've been working on; one new one and one that has come back to life after 12 years.
I've got the mounts 90% done. One of the mounts has a tight bend in it that I can't do in-house. So it's easier to make it in two pieces and TIG weld it together. I'll have the motor mount kit done in a week or two. The kick starter extension shaft and support bracket will come together when the company making me the shafts gets them done. So when I sell these the price is for the motor mounts and bolt hardware and NOT the kick shaft extension and bracket (that'll cost extra and I'll know how muck when I get the shafts in).
Anyone that wants a set will need to let me know and I'll get them on a list. I'm only going to make enough to fill the initial list. After that you'll need to get put in for the next run (when ever that is )

Bigbore...thanks for the update. You can count me in for brackets and shaft. Just let me know when it's ready and I'll send the payment.

Put me on the list! Tell me where and how much money to send, and I'll start selling blood to be sure this starts moving forward!
Are you able to use the rear motor mount setup from a stocker, or does it have to change too? I now see the issues with the front mount, after I placed the motor in a bare frame this weekend.
I'm EXCITED now! This will be a fun build for the summer.......
Blood! I'll let you guys know when and where when their ready to ship, 2 weeks.
Yea, the rear motor mount gets changed to fit the rear of the 480. Since the shock mount is in there, it gets incorporated into the new rear mounts also. The motor mount kit will have a new rear mount, front mount, head stay and bolts.
After the company gets the kicker shafts to me then I'll sell the kicker shaft extension and the bracket w/ bushing. The company is pretty cool on making custom shafts... Expensive though! http://www.grobinc.com/coldrolled/
