82.5 CR 500 Ready to go!

Ok guy's, it's done except for two more stickers. Just rode it for 5 minutes around the neighborhood. Now I remember how these bikes rip!

sorry, i posted two photos that are the same. I swear my 13 year old can figure this stuff out but not me...

thanks for saying so. John

Nice job dude...

Nice, I still got long way to go on mine.

Great job! You could make those pictures into posters and sell them! Beautiful bike.

Beautiful bike I want one...

Like the rear brake lever .

Sweeeeeet...!!

AWESOME!! Great job, looks fantastic. You should be very proud.

Thanks for all the kind words. Hoping to take it riding this Sunday!

Awesome bike! Sweet lines, long legs. Perfect.

Veri-nizzzze. Those pics are going in my files for my own resto! Do you mind sharing what you did for the black, gold, silver parts in detail? Got my cases stripped and ready to be re-finished, and frame will be ready in a couple days. Been gathering info on colors.

You better pick up the pace!

All of the hardware has new zinc coating. The silver is actually Ford silver for the modern vehicals. The powder coat on the frame is Sparkle Silver, same as the Ford silver in color and just about a dead on match for the original Husky color. The rims are reanodized originals, color is light Gold. Black on the hubs is Dupli color DE1635 semi-gloss black, clutch cover is DE1634 low-gloss black. Shock bodies are ACE hardware 17023 Copper spray paint. Fork legs are ACE 17010 Gold. If the center cases have to be refinished spray them with the paint then go and get some REAL automotive clear in a can with an extra catalist already with the can. Otherwise the paint will come right off the first time the carb overflows. Best parts source: Phil, husqvarna-parts.com. Phil actually has the origianal Ohlins paint for the shock bodies.

Phil rocks and your bike flows with the quality of the stuff he provides. 44 mm. When i was a kid I wanted to put one on anything....a 125 with a 44mm on it would run like poop but be the talk of the pits

Puuuuuurty. Nicely done.

Wow, that is hot!
