#2 1977 Husqvarna 360 Auto

So I sold my other 360 Auto a few Years ago and have been thinking and wanting another. A lot of guys live/love them and I am still on the fence as I had some real problems with the last one. Mostly the engagement parts but also bad Sprague and worn Sprague engagement surfaces.
So here I saw this one on CL and called. I made the stop to look at it on the way back from work out of town. Made a deal and went to pick it up this morning. It looks real complete and the bolts I cursory checked were BUFO. Looks like original Barnum Tires and Akront Green Label rims. Fenders aren't mashed or broken. Has the Late Straight Leg forks too!! Missing the original bars, carb/throttle, levers/cables and Number Plates. I was told RWPA Ran when put away!! Pushed the kick lever and was happy to find compression. Opened the fill cap and it all looks wet and oily!! Tomorrow I'll pull the air box cover and squirt some either and see if she fires!! Here's some pics!!

Are the girling shocks rebuildable?

Unfortunately, no. You may want to check out Ebay, I've seen new gas units on there from time to time.

I would like to ride one so I could say I did but no shifting, no clutch, no engine braking, not sure I'd care to have one as a rider.

I'll find a set of nice shocks to replace them then. And It is weird to ride one, I guess if you ride one a lot that will become MINUSCUAL MEMORY!! Because I CRS!!

I have one of the same year, and I love it. Always in the correct gear, just gas and brake, pretty cool I think. I often think I would like to get one of the later ones (85-86).

Cool, it runs. Can you say compression release? hehe Let me know next time you start it and I'll loan you my 36 inch legs. I may have a lot of knots on my head from being tall but it sure helps when kick starting bikes.

It is tall, makes me remember why I like the early bikes!

I notice it has the latest non-leading axle black forks, I can see the 4 ribs in one of the pics. The 8 inches of travel is 33% more than the earlier 6 inch gray forks making a noticeable difference in height.

With a rebuilt set of vintage Works or Fox shocks this chassis/suspension will handle like a dream over an MK frame. This bike would be fun to do some vintage old guy events.
