1979 390 cr restoration

Great bikes....Nice work....cool garage.

Many thanks Rick, much appreciated. Sorry to trouble you further but what length are the Fox airshox please ?

Looks like about 17 1/4" eyelet center to center. I think I remember paying about $300 back in '77. alot of money then for a poor teenage MX er......Also, I had to have the fins milled on the chain side for clearance. Luckily my buddy worked in a machine shop and got it done for me.

Many thanks Rick, thought that would be about the length. cheers

Very nice job!
I love riding my 390

Where did you get the ribbed seat cover, mine on my 75 is the same type.

really nice job on all your bikes mate! very well done, and i love your shed.

Nice I'm putting parts together for my 390 OR. Never had a 390 OR before only cr's.

I had a '78 250 OR which we liked. The rpms stayed up from fourth gear to sixth gear, no big like the wr tranny if you weren't wide open flying.

Come on Bill, New Years eve is getting close.

Super Bowl sundaynight is my tradition to startup a restored husky. And do the after game ride burning up the street once she's alive. Funny my son still laughs about doing it today.

At 11:00pm or when the game is over the bike goes for its first ride on super bowl night. I work all day Sunday putting her together. I had complete engines rebuilt on shelves with all the painted frame and parts.

On Halloween I put on my street bike leathers and gloves and wear a gorilla mask and take out my dual sport. The kids would go crazy. One time the mask turned and up the curb the bike went with the front wheel in the air. I just hanged on and rode it out. It was all about the kids.

Got em from a guy in australia. Tony something. Only place I knew that did em correct.

Gotta like photobucket.
