    That will be an awesome project. To still have the bike after all these years is good. If you sell it ..... it's gone .... that's it !
    You may regret that in the years to come. All the parts are easily available. Just take your time. I would advise putting a Husky motor back in there of whatever size you choose.
    It would be good to keep it original as far as is practically possible. Keep the Husky forks, they work well. I am a bit of a purist, so would go with the theme (as is) of an enduro model. Maybe do the frame and running gear first, and spend the time looking for another engine. I still have a bike I bought in 1982 when it was 9 months old. It got treated badly down through the years, but I rebuilt it a few years ago and now I really enjoy riding it (not quite as much as the Huskys though).

    Dam, how could you get any closer to the original parts you need... I would figure there is probably so many small little shops and guru's that are husky fans in your area that you could rebuild any husky from 87 and down with original parts all the way... Hell , if we can do it I am sure you could do it with ease.

    It looks like most of the Swedes that have them are usually tricked out pretty good tho.

    Hello again.
    Nice to see that you decide to keep it.
    There is group on Facebook called Kamratgruppen Tvåtaktarna.
    I'm there and so is most of Swedens old vintage riders.
    Im sure you can find all the info, and parts you need there.

    But don't forget to keep us updated here.

    The engine is trash, the fork is trash.
    What engines from like the 70s up to the 90s would fit bolt on in the frame?
    What husky forks would work?

    I think you can more or less put any Husky engine in there that have right side chain.

    You can use any triple clamp set from 1978 Timken up to 1989 with fork sets to match
