    I just bought a Husky that was sold as a 1985 WR 400. It is a mono shock front drum break/ water cooled / white front forks. Frame number is WP06094. I thought the frame # should start with WO.

    any thoughts.

    sounds right. 84 was dual shock and 86 was disk brake up front so 85 would be the single shock but drum brakes. I think.
