85 250R brake line guide and helmet holder.

[200x Basket]

I have a NICE 85 brake guide and some fork caps from a bike that i just parted out. PM me if interested.

here you go

How much????????????

You better stop running those bars. The bend is before the end edges of the bar clamps and it scores the top of those aluminum bars. Then on a good jump someday they'll snap right off. I've seen it happen!!

Who you talking to?

< Look at the pics, you'll figure it out....

I'm going to swap those bar's when i find a set with the right space between the mounts. Their just what the bike came with.

I made another wire, with more success, nearly there. But i need to get some more wire before i make an 85 one (only had a short bit left). Also i'v played with making a mounting bracket/plate of the 85 style. Not perfect and no pic's yet, but i think i have a simple way to form them now i hope.

[Dammit!]

Nice work. You planning on making those available to other members? I'd buy a couple.

If you could make a 85 with a 86 mounting bracket I would be all over it!!!!

For an 86 with 85 wire, Glamis has an 86 350X guide (same ?) item # 270134746789 , i'll make a new wire for it and send it to you if youre real keen ?

If these 85's are any good i'll make a few to sell. But if it looks shite i won't !!

I'v looked at the 86 part and i'll have a go at it. But it will be much thinner material.
I need to get to the builders for some thick steel to make a former for the 85's, so they all come out the same (and right) so i may be another week before i get a good bracket that can be mass made.
As for the wire guide, i'll do them as soon as the wire is available on monday

Right, because i had one, i had a go at the 86 first. Not a bad first attempt





And on the bike with a wire guide, it looks a little better. This was relatively easy to make.





The 85 part though was a totally different story. I will not be making another one, it's nearly impossible to bend the metal to form the sides holding the wire. It beat me in the end.





Over all, not a wasted project but the 85 is far beyond my skill. I'll make another 86 out of some thicker material (original was 3m ) . Heres the final pic's side by side. The 85 is crap

Thats the thing, it only needs to be functional.

Anyone who performs a real "restore" will insist on a NOS OEM part.

But for you, me and the rest of us, ANYTHING that works is better than nothing.

A crude tool and die is all you need to get them all looking the same.

Pardon my French, but the 85 was too much of a tawt to bother with again. It takes too long to form. The 86, although the more complex design, was much easier to make. I was 6 hrs just on these two parts. And i doubt i could work any faster on the 85's.
86's, no problem. I could turn out 12 in a good half day if i did a batch. Just seems too much work and too long time to sell them for what their worth, which isnt much.

why not buy one off of a dirt bike if you do not want an original?
