New 500 Engine cases

(1/3) > >>

Timbowe:
 So after many rides and hours and hours of fun the poor old 04 decided to cough up her lunch. Got home, washed her down and discovered a nasty crack through both cases and inch or so below the cylinder base.  :cry:

 Got a couple of mates who are top welders who could probably stick them back together but at this stage my preference would be source a pair of new cases and build a new engine.

  So my question to you is where would I get a pair of new (NOS Possibly) cases and any idea how much roughly. I'm way down here in New Zealand and the likelyhood of the Kawasaki peeps here having anything are slim I would think, slim or if they did have they'd want their weight in gold. :-o

 Summer here now so I am gona really miss not having it for a while. Its been the best 500 I've had and I will do my best to revive her to its best.

  Thanks in advance, Tim.

Motorrad:
question is why did the cases go....

Chances are... you need ALOT MORE than just a set of cases...

Timbowe:
 Yep I know. Figured the cases will be the harest to get? Smaller bits should be OK to source here or overseas.

Very good price $484 here in europe/UK we have to double that {?600 uk pounds}
I think bikebandit will sort the import tax {extra} for u

 The new cases dont have any engine numbers

Notice the bearings staying in the case  :-D The seal area would be a little bit of hassel but not wasted
