    Mike is a fully converted 165 rider now. Another one bites the dust. :cheers:

    yeah that was a pretty good buy. I got mine for $900 off CL. Buddy Mike just payed like $1500 for his 04 CR125 but it was like new. Still a great deal.

    Now you need a Midwest Mountain Engineering lever to make it ever sweeter. Oh and a 18" rear wheel. I'm really liking mine. Then a hammerhead shifter with +20 tip. Keep up man :p

    No Hammerhead junk for me......

    I've ran 18's before and sometimes they are better for me and sometimes they are not. Besides, there is a 19" trials tire available now...... if I wanted one.

    Now I need more info on the MME lever... :cheers:

    Hammerhead is not junk, far from it. The 18" made a noticeable improvement in traction and comfort (and tire selections). The 19" trials tires suck (or so my friends tell me so I never tried one).

    http://www.midwestme.com/pages/productinfo.html - Just got one for my 511, hear they make the clutch lighter and smoother.

    Found some useful information in here. So where did you purchase the 2005 tank covers? Also how did you get them to fit with the IMS tank?

    Rear fender off what year 2 smokers will work?

    Definitely convinced me to stick with the 2000 style tank and seat!

    I tried a Vee Rubber 19" trials tire and it was every bit as good as a Michelin 18". Trials tires have their place for sure.

    Hoov165x-That is one sweet Husky, one of the nicest I've seen.:cheers: Thanks for taking the time to do a write up and letting all of us enjoy it. Makes me want a WB165 kit for mine. Maybe later as I'm broke right now. By the way, the 18" rear made a difference on mine, that and the AT81's.

    Thanks again.
