Race Tech sells internal spacers to reduce shock length/travel.

I am excited to see how this turns out

Same happened to me when looking for a Pro-Circuit KX500 silencer with the earlier style end cap. Lots of websites using the earlier photo of the silencer, but selling the current (fugly) version.

After years of searching I finally got my hands of a HRC shorty silencer. Consistency finally paid off. Here fitted on the bike. Have been cleaning the caliber as well, and gave it some good old elbow grease. I am finally getting there, only few bits and pieces missing.

It's now time for a short update on my project. It has been a while, but I hope you will find this post interesting👍🏻 I found a new original HRC exhaust, E7HS, with the part number sticker still on there. It was heavily rusted from laying in the shelf for many years but managed to get it in as-new condition again! Engine with the pipe in place. The frame are now complete and clean after have been hydroblasted. A set of razorsharp titanium footpegs After many years of searching I finally find...

There's a new 1994 shock shaft on eBay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/335362203807

Some worn out parts re-manufactured. Just learning how to use my new lathe and mill but these came out ok I think.

Hey Perky! I hope your build goes really well and you get the bike restored in a way that will make all your wildest dreams come true! 🤪 My brother and I had em and we LOVED them! I had a 98 & 99 400, a 2000 & two 2002 426’s and they were all fun/fast bikes, once you got the feel for the thumper and came to terms with the compression braking!

I would remove all other engine mounting bolts and linkage from swing arm…lay bike on side and soak swingarm bolt with Kroll and/ or PBblaster,…wd-40 is not an effective lubricant for frozen bolts….you can also make a mixture of acetone and ATF…..Be patient…soak each side, laying bike on its side…you want to try and save the bolt, and keep the hammering to a minimum….after soaking for a few days on each side, then try heating the bolt, engine casing/ collars, use a long tapered punch that fits inside the bolt, use large hammer….

I think I might be with your son on this, that purple frame would look very unique and a head turner. There's tons of old stock builds, that '95 HOT look would be an incredible sight in the pits.

Wow, that bike was rough. That has to be one of the worst clutch baskets I've ever seen. Great start to bringing the old girl back to life! The cases etc look great. Looking forward to seeing it progress
