1985 Husky 500 CR restoration

Holy mega silencer batman!

The silencer is from a 400WR, it was new and in its original package at my local dealer. I machined the silencer rear end cap hole larger for 500.

Another angle:

Your bike is beautiful. Very tastefully done. Nice work on the silencer. So what is the pipe?

that looks like an 86 XC500 pipe

Correct, the pipe is from -86 XC500. The bike will be ready soon, just some minor parts are missing. So far this project has not been the easiest one but I think it has been worth the work. There is only a few of these 500CR Husqvarnas in Finland left from hard riding and poor service.

Decal and new plastics fitting evening.

that inspires me
I have 2 85 CR500's and this is like what I should have done with one of them
that is some beautiful work

Wonderful job.

Very nice.

Nice wheels !

Great looking bike, where did you source the plastics from?
Tony.

Thats a great looking 85. Very nice resto

I found the original new side panels from ebay (Cyprus), new original airbox cover from here Finland, fenders from Andre Horvath, Austria. Seat and cover are from CEET Racing.

The 500 looks great. I like those SM Platinum rims.
What is the exact SM model number or dimensions of those rims? I'd like to order a pair for this 87 Husky I'm restoring.
Thanks.

Sorry, I don`t have any part number for the rims, I contacted directly to SM Pro and ordered those specially drilled rims straight from their factory. About two weeks and the rims were at my home door, the fitment was perfect. Front rim is 1.60x 21", rear is 2.15x 18".

I like Your bike and the golden rims ... but I think the rear fender could be a little bit shorter

Sometimes the camera can make them appear longer than they actually are.

It`s alive!!

That thing sounds as good as it looks. Sounds tight.
