1981 Husky 430 XC rebuild

Here is my before and after pics. Running ready to go just waiting for the tank to be clear coated!

Looking really good, i would of done a blue with white tank for that sweet 81 look. My Favorites were 81/82 430s back in the day.
The silver is for 500 82 1/2 500, the rare bike.

Going to be a fun machine any which way.

Thanks. I know the silver is for the 500 but I just liked the red and silver together.

I have the 82 500 and a 83 430 that I painted up to look like my 500, instead of white.
I was going for the Billy Grossi race bike look.

I'd like to find one of these grey tank !

I haven't seen any for sale, so I guess they are hard to come by.

That is the 82-1/2 500 tank. It would cost quite a bit if you could find one

Great looking 430 - like your attention to detail.

Thanks GaryM. Here is a 1980 KTM 420 I recently completed.

Almost complete, runs great!

Like this you mean....? I need to get another tank for it to be able to ride, as I don't want to ding the original. The paint job on Gr8effex's tank is sweet.

You notice I didn't put the silver tank on, put a red on so I don't ding it!!

If You look at the Picture of my 250 its got a Clarke Plastic Tank. The Chrome side are Decals.

I have a 1982 WR 430 and I’m wanting to replace the rear fender with a CR 430 or XC 430 type motocross style fender. Will that fender bolt up to my bike since it has the loop at the rear of the frame above the fender? If it will bolt up, is DC plastics my best source for the replacement fender? Thanks, Randy

Randy, both of my fenders are are universal Acerbis. The look good. If you don't want those DC is a good place to buy from. But which ever you get you have to drill, the are not pre-drilled.

Steve

Thanks for the information Steve. The fenders on your bike look great. I was anticipating drilling the mounting holes, my main concern was a gap at the seat or at the bar going across the fender. From looking at your bike that seems to be no problem at all. Thanks for helping me. Randy

Hi Steve, I'm having a silver tank done. Can you tell me the paint code for the silver that you used?
Thanks.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I am not sure Britt Davis is the painter.

Here's a pic of my 430 with the number plates added.
