1983 175 WR

I've mentioned it several times, but here is what I am starting with before I get going on the restore. It will be a racer, but a nice racer. I have the original 175 cylinder, I put that bare '82 125 top end on it just to keep junk out of the bottom end. The side panels are original, but very beat up, and the seat cover is supposed to be yellow, but I'll keep the blue. I took the Betor ITCs off and these are Ohlins ITCs I got on eBay. The tank is the larger 3.1gal tank, and I will find a 2.7gal that this bike came with. If someone has a 2.7gal tank they would like to trade I'm open, this tank has no cracks and a rattle can paint job, but it does have one pretty good dent on the right side.

very good motorcycle ! rare !

Yes, I have those originals.

Blue seat cover is correct for wr, xc was yellow and cr was black.

I thought it was the other way with the WR and XC colors. Thats good because I was not going to put that awful yellow seat cover on it anyway even if it was correct.

sorry wr black cr blue

Yeah, thats what I thought. I have a picture of Mark Hyde at the '82 Czecho ISDE on an '83 175WR with a yellow seat, donno. Whatever it came with, I'm leaving the blue as I think it looks the best with the overall '83 graphics.

Mark Hyde at the '82 ISDE, '83 175WR. Looking at the bike, this could be an XC with headlight, taillight, WR rear fender and side panels, since it has the yellow seat cover and longer travel fork lowers like the CR/XC not the shorter ones on the WRs.

Wow, those 175 XCs are sweet looking bikes.

two HUSQVARNA 175 e bay motors now !

The 175 exhaust seems to be the same that the 125 one !?

125 WR 1983 USA and France (83)!

The '82 kit had a Pro Circuit pipe with a bigger manifold than the 125, for the '83 175 bikes the exhaust and manifold was the same as the 125.

The bike in California has a smaller carb with some kind of adapter in the intake boot. The bike in Missouri has a 250 engine in it.
