    Thanks.
    I see you have a 79 OR 390. I have just stripped mine down and will be restoring it to the same condition as my 81 CR 250.
    79 OR 390's are a beautiful looking bike.

    Yes they are neat as we'll. I am turning the 79 into a 80 cr 390 because it will become my rider bike.

    Glad it doing another.

    Just have to say this is a stunning restore. Great Detail. You have a nice set of adjustable ohlins there. Did you adapt this set from another bike or ATV. Would like to have
    adjustable compression and rebound!

    Appreciate the hard work.

    Thanks for the compliment! :thumbsup:
    The original girling shocks were trashed and really not worth restoring. I got those shocks from Philip at Husqvarna-Parts and they are fully adjustable, but they weren't cheap :eek:
    When i got them i wasn't to keen on the blue springs and i was going to get them powder coated red, but they've grown on me and i like them now so they will be staying blue
