Tearing down the aircooler

[BLAZERONE22]

Well since I'm waiting on parts for the Tri Z that I would go ahead and teardown the aircooler this afternoon to install my new topend and DG head. turns out the cylinder I had in there was on it stock bore. Wow! I was told when I got it that it was punched out for the start of the bigbore pistons. I guess I should of took the head off to check.lol
I installed the superscoops I won off of ebay before I tore it down, I think I like them. I was also thinking about going with a 350x headlight also. what do you guys think?

Yah, a different look is good once in a while.

I was drooling over this one the other day. I've been looking up pics of the aircoolers b/c I'm waiting to get one. Anyway, REALLY nice ride....I would leave the headlight like it is. I haven't really researched it but I think I remember reading about problems switching to the 350x lights. I could be wrong--nice trike!

Well I dropped in the cylinder tonight. I installed new studs in the base also. Now I have to rig up the intake for a boost bottle. The cylinder I yanked off of there was ported bigtime, I think I going to be disappointed with this one. Its all stock bored .080 over. I'll run it for a while and get the other ready for when it goes.

It took a little time to polish the motor, I've been told a stripped motor will cool better than a painted motor.
I put her all back together afterwork today. Fired right up! I was hoping to take it on our trip this weekend but its suppose to have freezing rain here this weekend and I don't want to have to deal with towing a trailer. Oh well I did'nt want to have to rejet it anyway.

I may have missed it but why did you decied to put on a new cylinder? Did you strip the gold paint from the DG head, would that have been sand blasted if so?

[BLAZERONE22]

I was getting a little piston slap, And I had another cylinder ready to drop in, And I'll just do the same with the cylinder I took off get her ready for next time. Yep, thats a DG head. the gold on it was trashed, So I got the brilliant idea of stripping it. PITA!

Blazer..... what was that chromed swinger brace thing that you out bid me on on ebay? Where's that go on a 82R? Or was it mislabelled?

Yeah it was mislabled, It was for the 83-84R I forgot to have mine powdercoated with the frame, so I figured I'd get that one.

Awsome job Dave, the head looks great polished. Porting makes such a difference so you'll definately feel it in the seat of the pants.

[350x'inNY]

Cool then... I didn't see where it worked on a 82R but when I bid, you were outbid and at 3.50, I figured I could use it for something! Or maybe it was a rare aftermarket thing... glad it worked out for you!

I'm not trying to be ignorant, but are those scoops for a 200X because they don't seem to fit at all? Seems like they hang way off the bottom of the tank.

Also, why is it sitting so high in the back?

[raptor]

I quite like the look of it sitting high. please explain blazer how you got it so high. looks like its mounted in a different postion? and hows the ride with it high?

also is your engine polished? or just sand blasted?

By the way the names paul and i own a 82R

those are old maier super scoops for the R, I have a set on mine, look much better than stock. one of mine has a slight crack in it. I sure wish I could get another one! hint hint

Paul....

That'd be cause of the Westcoast Swinger he has on it.... it's extnded for 1 and it has multiple mounting positions for the shock. Look at the pic he posted up when I was talking about that brace.
