    Finally i managed to bring home my Husky projects. Seems to be a complete 1986 WR400 and a frame/swingarm/forks/rear wheel from a WR240 of the same year i think.

    3 tanks one of those Baja style

    and a load of cases, cranks, cylinders in various sizes...

    now im vacation but as soon im back i will lay everything on a table and see what i have and what's missing. I plan a original restoration on the 400 and maybe modernize a bit the 240 or build a Street tracker from it (but ill keep the frame intact)

    Here some pics of the pile of junk i got for 500euros

    Any places to order plastics in Europe? i'll need rear fender (maybe an extra MX one too) , side panels (no filter) and front fender. For headlight i think ill use the retro Headlight from UFO.

    Any idea where i can get the Husky logos for the tank?
