    Hey guys, first post here. Question for you. My dad has a 1974 450 WR that he bought brand new. It's been sitting in pieces for damn near 30 years, but the engine was oil up before being put away. He's looking to sell it now (all major components and most of the nuts and bolts are there). He painted everything when he took it apart I believe, and other than a lot of dust and maybe some minor surface rust on some pieces, everything else is in great shape. Just looking for an idea on what it might be worth.

    Be kinda hard to get it to you :) But seriously, we have no idea what to ask for it or what to accept for it. Originally my dad was just going to give it to me, and I would take it but I just don't have the time to rebuild it or the space to keep it (In reality, I probably could find the space but the wife says I gotta get ride of shit first :) ). A friend of mine who races motocross and rebuilds dirt bikes said he'd take it if it's a good price, but I don't even know what a good price would be. I mean, I don't wanna say it's yours for $100 and then come to find out we could've gotten a lot more for it, or say you can have it for $500 and he says no and come to find out it's not worth $100, know what I mean?

    Eightballrider,

    This is my favorite era of Huskies! I'm pretty interested. Where are you located? I'm in Colorado. Wouldn't mind a drive to pick something up, though.

    Do you happen to have any pictures of the bike/parts?

    Last year I bought an almost complete '73 CR 400 for $400, I think a lot of it depends on condition, and I would be willing to give you a fair offer based on the condition/completeness of everything. I'll send you a PM.
