1974 WR450-MC series replica

I've been converting my 450 into a replica of the MC256-258 series of military motorcycles first produced in the mid-1960's. The following pictures illustrate but a few of the changes made during this project. I'm now reassembling,with small details such as fabbing the wiring harness and find a few key bits to be done. It is
legally titled for street riding. Here in IN,all that's req'd is headlight,working brake light and horn. It'll be fun to ride on the street.

very nice ..what you going to call her....olive!

Maybe more authentic with an RT bolt together frame

Hey,that's clever...in Swede,that'd be " Oliv " ....

Not necessarily....depending upon what characteristic the builder wants to use from the early models. The two piece frame is a difference,but a more obvious diff is the elongated,flat rear fender loop with the
longer ,more valanced rear fender (versus the MX models). As I'm building a composite 'replica',I'm' borrowing' from each model of the military series.......the later models are easiest the replicate as they were
less specific to the criteria than the earlier models.To complicate the matter further,there were noticeable variations dependent upon end user- the MC model that Finland purchased was noticeably different compared to
the Swedish army model.Along with that,very very few Husky enthusiasts here Stateside have seen a MC model in the flesh,so building a 'convincing' example isn't difficult at all.
