'77CR250 racer resto

Are you checking this with the motor mounted in the frame? and are the foot pegs bolted onto the frame? Got any pictures?

DON'T start it with the arch of your foot ! I use the ball just level with my toes. Works every time and my foot does not touch the gear change. I fail to see how the kick lever can come around and hit the gear change when the foot peg is fitted.

Yes, motor in frame and footpeg fitted - tired both an OEM peg and the HVA aftermarket and it hits. Good to know that it was a known bug and not some sort of mis-matched stuff on my bike, I've had enough of sorting out PO issues on this one. Guess that is why they changed the kicker in '78. I'll add the nicely re-plated and refurbished '77 kicker to my box of extra parts...

You wont regret the 78 style kickstarter. My Right big toe still hurts from my 76 WR250 kicking me back when it was new.

Kicker still has an inch before it would hit foot peg. Motomwo hooked me up with a '78 kicker so all is good.

Wheel offset was corrected, everything lines up perfectly now. Turning out to be prettier than I intended for a racer, but I cant help myself.

Looking good! Your bike is getting prettier than mine, nice attention to detail.

Sorry to hijack, but any chance of seeing more of that 76 360 WR magazine test ?.
Never seen it before

She sure is purdy! And we understand..

With the exception of front number plate, '78 style kicker and silencer bolts, she is done finally. Thanks goes out to a lot of folks on this site who contributed both advice and parts!

It's perfect Awesome Dave!

Time to get it dirty

Man, that looks nice! I think the Evo twin shockers look the best! Will this baby be at one the upcoming vintage events? New England is close to some of them.

Very sharp! Great work.

Eurofreak - this one will see light duty in some NETRA vintage events, but I am interested in making an AHARMA race. I'm not a good enough rider to compete in the EVO class on this bike, it would be up against full travel Japanese stuff.

I would have to lose the piggyback shocks, but I thought there was a non-EVO class for the '77 Husky's provided you did not increase travel from OEM?

In the AHRMA class depending on the year requirement the piggyback Ohlins would not likely qualify for the 77 CR and even the remote reservoir Ohlins came out for 79 models might not qualify either. Read the rulebook carefully. They are stringent.

You might have less requirements in NETRA Vintage Hare Scrambles because last I checked the class your bike falls into runs from 1975 - 1983ish. Lot of over and under competition there

If you hit one I'm at we can race- I'm not competitive either in MotoX.

I'm thinking the AHRMA hare scrambles is the ticket.

She's too purdy to get mud on it. It's a museum piece now. I'd ride it when no one is around.
