Sweet thanks everyone :cool:

And yes I have access to a large mill welder and grinders. I work in thermal spray so I basically paint with metal. Well, I did. Now I’m the...

The parts list shows an o-ring for the tappet adjustment covers so those will be replaced with all the other gaskets and o-rings. Any areas...

Instead of tapping the races, I suggest a length of threaded rod and some washers or a couple blocks of wood with holes drilled for the threaded rod.

I almost forgot. The hardest part of the installation will be getting the steering stem pressed out of the lower triple clamp/bearing. Once removed,...

I installed a set of All Balls tapered bearings (which is probably what BVC sold you) into an '86 Tecate steering head. It should be very similar on...

Anyone have experience upgrading the ball bearings to taper bearings in the steering stem? My ball bearings are in rough shape. Is this truly a...

Sweet thanks guys! I’m making some nice progress on the ol’ girl. Cleaning off barnacles and clusters of goo/grime from the 1980’s haha.

Oil on the top of the engine is probably from the rocker cover. There isn’t a gasket up there, just a light coat of sealant, and most people use the...

I appreciate the input for sure! I got “burned” on the rear skid plate because I’m not attuned to the visual differences yet. Once the engine is...

I didn’t see any mention of the shift lever in your picture-post #2. Although it may work, it’s about an inch too short, which suggests it’s from...

I met a friend of mine and he did say ......man i can smell your feet a mile away .......smile away smile away .......yeah smile away .........Paul...

In other news: I hope to get the motor out this weekend. Probably won’t but I’m hoping. I think I need a left mid case besides the left cover....

Happy thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to u as well. damn my feet need some sun..... shep Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally confirmed I have an 86 carb. Happy about that as they are not easy to find. Not happy about the “impact damage” it has however…

Old post that I'm bumping up to the top. I'm back after 14yrs and I'm ready to ride! I'm planning on purchasing my RAC permit (boy, did the price...

What's up KillaCaviar? I'm from the NEPA area and I used to ride on RAC land. I took a 14yr hiatus from riding and just got my X's back in running...

What's up Goat? Old timer here getting back into riding. I've been a triker for 42yrs. I just got back on the forums after a 14yr hiatus from riding...

Did they locktite those bolts too ? Maybe you dirtwheels haven’t found out if the paint is still on yours but I assume they did. It seemed like...

Same. My '86 has bolts for the rotor as well. They still have the yellow paint marks on them from the factory.

Yeah, on the bottom brake line guide, it was zinc plated. The paint came right off, and its zinc plated under that. Cleaned up pretty nicely. It...

My '86 has bolts for the rotor.

About the black brake line guide, if you're referring to the "curved" one, if I remember correctly, it came that way from Honda. Some sort of plating...

Only one part number for the "clamp, fr. brake hose" so I guess someone use their artistic license to spray the piece black. (at least they did a...

I have a spare Enkei front wheel n tire, 1185 date code for a 86 200x I suppose. Full DG exhaust (aluminum muffler variant) Set of...

Well I’m sure mine was studs and u-nuts too, but if you look at the parts fiche, you’ll se the studs for 85 and bolts for 86. I guess we’ll see what...

interesting,,,, all the 350x's i havebuilt been around and seen, i have never ever seen a bolted on front rotor,

You lost me there. So, you're saying the later models had bolts that held the disc to the hub, rather than studs/nuts? I switched to...
