Moose long lever thumb throttle

brake hardware

I reached out to an eBay seller I bought a pipe spring set from last year before out badlands ride in Indiana. Tapper pointed out one tht busted mid ride that I wouldn't have seen until after the fact lol. Anyways, bought them last July for the 500 and they both broke unfortunately. I wrote them off until I got balls deep in this project and thought what the hell, let's email the seller. David Nicholson of smokey point cycle barn responded and sent me two sets! Great guy awesome company, love that kind of support and will buy from them in the future

New rear motor mount

nice! hope you got plenty more of those springs for the exhaust, they are junk IMO. I must have went through 6 of those. I would be lucky if I went for a 20 min ride and didn't lose one. I finally bought some Raven swivel springs and haven't lost one yet.

thanks guys! its been a long road! The pipe springs are recommended to be run with a section of fuel line over them to keep the vibes from breaking. I have heard that being recomended before on the 500 motors (KX and CR) so I will give it a shot. Worse case scenario all 4 new springs I have break and I just run the stock springs I have been hoarding. Wanted new shiney parts hahahah

ordered a new clutch basket, 2 uni filters (1 for the 310 and 1 for the 500), a gallon of klotz, clutch perch and lever, and a T3 10-3000 throttle cable for the smart carb yesterday. Also bought another rear shock assembly on ebay because i plan to run the rebuilt/revalved shock thats on my 310 on the 500.
