I got myself an airfooler!

[Billy Golightly]

Not in real bad shape. Got it for a good price. Runs excellent. Need to weld the clutch perch, lube the throttle cable and a few other things. What do you think?

Trail pros...yuck! LOL Hey congrats on the air fooler. We will have to get them ready and line them up soon to tride!

Oh I shipped your tires out today, fedex ground so they are in transit.

[Billy Golightly]

Yeah TrailPros aren't first on my list of favorite tires either. I think those holeshots will probably go on there pretty nicely if the rims are 9's. I haven't even checked

Trail pros...yuck!

Nothing to do with this post really but i was wondering if anybody new what the name of the peice that holds the front break cable away from the bike on a 85/86 R...It basically looks like a bent peice of metal..Its on the left side near the frork..Anybody know?

[Wickedfinger]

Excellent Bill, great find. You will find working on an aircooled pinger to be very rewarding (and easy!). You will also like the meatier bottom end. We needs to get you a Grab rail!.

[Billy Golightly]

Yeah thats one of the things it needs. I'm going riding tomorrow morning with some friends (At a new exclusive place that might be turning into an off-road park and wanted a few riders for feedback, can't miss the chance to partake in that) but Tomorrow evening I'll be able to go over it really good and check things out.

From what I've seen so far, 2 handle bar clamp bolts are broke off in the tripples, needs just about all the back brake stuff (No caliper, disc, or mastercylinder. I need a grab bar like you said, Need a front mastercylinder, need to work on the clutch perch like I had mentioned before...really I think thats about it. The gas tank is super clean on the inside, not a drop of rust. Need to lube the throttle cable (a bit sticky feeling from setting). And a seat cover. A few things, but nothing really major.

how do you lube the cable?

[atcmatt]

Good Stuff Billy! Not a bad looking rig either. Im just hoping it doesnt take up all your spare time that you could be using for the "thumpin 500"!

Cheers,

Matt

how do you lube the cable?

What I usually do is take the cable completely off, and hold it verticly, get some very thin oil such as air tool oil, fork oil, ect and just pour a little down inside the cable body, work the cable up and down a few times, repeat until its dripping out the other end.

Hey Billy, if you have a bucket of used motor oil laying around, take the cable completey off and get it by itself, let the cable soak in that oil overnight, then the next morning take it out, wipe most of the oil off and then hang it up for a few minutes to let the rest of the oil out. This method works excellent and you would not believe the difference it makes! It actually makes the cable work better than brand new!! Your method will work ok but if you let it soak overnight, man it lets it get in the housing and really loosen up all that crud. BTW, nice old-schooleR
