    Never had a 510, but had a '99 Husqvarna TE610e dual sport. Goons of torque, plenty of speed. For a dual sport on the street the narro seat got stuck in my butt. Not really but if the seat was a tad softer.

    Left is the favorite, so mint and original.
    the 89 would be the best if it had power like the 87s

    The one in middle was the first i found and have some more mods to do on it.
    Its the 510 I have spent the most on.
    Trying to get it up to a level thats better to ride.
    The stock forks were getting pounded from dead springs.
    I put 85 XC forks on it for the last few rides, but the brakes cant stop that pig lol.
    I have a 90 WP front end with the better caliper and wheel to install, also got a modern Brembo master to squeeze it all.
    I hope it handles and stops like i want it to be.
    Then it will be the main one to ride and just save the bone stock 87 as is.

    So a little update on the 89

    Love the fork leg covers, been going 3 years on the same seals in W/P forks on my 86.

    Seen seals go on friends newer bikes in 3 rides lol

    New front tire and some bark busters.
