    I miss those. Do anyone know where to find them or do anyone have a pair for sale? Are they specific for the 510 or can I look for panels from another model? With side panels I mean number plates.

    Not the right pieces. They have to be black and as far as I have got it on Google, they are the same on the 2T 400/430 (1987-1990). Not 100% sure but the pics looks pretty close at least.

    CORRECTION: I was wrong. Just heard fr.o.m. A Husky freak here in Sweden that Im looking for white covers. I have just looked at Google and got my own opinion. I was wrong. Im learning all the time :)

    Do you have a link to the parts in France?

    Those parts in france are for a 1988 model with a different fuel tank.

    Im still confused and really dont know exactly what Im looking for. Have seen photos on 1988 510s with more than one kind of side panels. Ill put up a pic on the bike when its restored later this winter (April-May). Then you Will be able to help me find the right parts. I guess Ill need more than the panels. Just hope I dont get surprised when I take the engine apart.

    I think the panel silverstreak showed is correct. The air box is black and rounder than the one shown in Visiteur's pictures.

    Try DC Plastics. They are the source of HVA plastic. http://www.dcvmx.com
    If they do not have them, if someone can loan them a set they can make their vacuum molds off them without harming the originals

    Didn’t the 88 four strokes get black panels and 87s got white??? Thought I remember reading that somewhere here on the forum. Could be wrong...

    86,87 and 88 look like they have the same side panels.
    88 has the new tank and shrouds, same air box and side panels with a pipe on each side like 85,86 and 87.
    87 looks like a 86 2 stroke with a white tank.

    Well, as long as they fit Im ok. I have seen both black and white 88s and as long as I dont know at what frame number they made a change Ill search for both. I need them for the numbers as Ill compete with the bike. I can always solve the problem with homemade last solution plastic, but I prefer NOT. Even though its an old bike, it would be nice to be at least a little proud of it. A homemade solution will make it look like something the dog dragged home.

    the 1989 models had the black side panels and airbox cover like the 87/88 2 strokes. 86,87,88 510's have the white ones as 86400XC pointed out earlier.

    Well, guess my bike is kinda odd then. Its the 6th last bike that left the Swedish factory according to the frame number. It has the black airbox like the 1989. It has the 40mm WP USD forks. I have also talked with an owner from the early 90s. It was made like that and not updated by an early owner. So far thats what I know. Im still trying to get in contact with the first owner. Will get you an update if I come up with something new.
