Dura blue made two different styles of hubs? They look physically different.

Here's a pic of a couple +6 durablue axles, and a oem for 84-85 Tecate. I recently had them re-plated in yellow zinc di-chromate for that factory fresh look with corrosion protection.......

Very nice. Who did the plating? I have what I guess is a DuraBlue on my T3 and it could use something like that.

How can you tell what brand an axel is? im still wondering if my axel is a dura blue.
Anyone have a close up of the special nut and collar also the splines on there axel? I remembered my aftermarket axel measure 5 inches more then stock.

There is a guy on Los Angles Craigslist selling one. Maybe he would know. Just a thought. I'd be all over it if I could justify $400 when I already have 2 +2 swingarms.

Nos Rocky brand adjustable link. I actually prefer the later model factory links, but.. this has old school flavor.

Na Justin, it's going on a really special bike i plan on finishing next winter. But.... Here's a few pics of a very rare Klemm Research big bore cylinder kit. As delivered this top end was referred to as a '327' cylinder kit. Standard bore was 80mm. It is currently .020 over. It uses a stock throw crank. However it uses a 2mm spacer plate to accomplish a few things. Raise port height, and allow for more crankcase volume. The head has been lowered to compensate for the added height of cylinder. I've spoke to Harry and his brother a few times, as well as the owner of Klemm Cycle supply. But the piston that was used was to the best of their knowledge a custom made piece. He said the kit was a fairly rare one even at the time, and was designed with a big wide spread of midrange torque to allow easy cruising of the big dunes out west. It was not a high speed screamer like a kx equipped Tecate. Rather point, shoot, and enjoy massive amounts of smooth power. So i've been researching piston options and have come to 2 different conclusions. A big bore atc/trx 370 piston is availiable up to 80.50, which has a 18mm pin and a very close pin to crown height. Or step up to a 20mm pin and use a early model JS750 small pin piston. Which requires a rod with the same center to center. Either way both pistons will require extensive work, but this is the only one of these i've ever seen! I plan on sending it to U.S. chrome and having the cylinder plated at it's current 80.50mm bore.
