83 CR500, here begineth the lesson

FYI when you break the corner off that little kickstart finger you just flip it over and use the other side & keep a spare in you toolbox they like to break

Any news on the FZR400 with the 690 in it.. I have a nice rolling FZR400 chassis and was wondering what to power it with?

Its here

getting there. Its a GSXR, I looked at the FZR but they don't have a cradle so quite tricky. I would think a 500L/C 2 stroke motor maybe?

Very cool.. have joined supermoto junkie just to follow your build.
Don't want to Hijack this thread with off topic... but my original "dream" was a Ducati Supermono... so what I really wanted was a 500 or 600cc thumper!

sounds like Godzilla meets hedgerow coming soon to a theater near you... A&E theatre.......

Sounds good but I think you might struggle to tether the motor in there well enough to stop it escaping. Could be a lot of work but would probably worth it? Limited in choice a bit by all but the 690 KTM motors being right hand drive and the 690's being rare and fetching big money when they do come up. I'll have a look later but I remember choice being a bit limited.

I remember reading about a Duc supermono (can't remember which mag) a few years back, he had removed the rear cyl head of a 916 lump and used it as a compressor to supercharge the other cylinder apperently it put out about the same HP as a standard 916!!!

Exhaust Pipe... I reckon a down pipe a la TM 400 would look awesome on the big Husky. you could get a lovely crackle out of it! Just have to make sure there is clearance at full bottomed suspension. Jumping a hedgerow will do that!

Wildebeest hi bud , please need your help also trying top put together a 83 huskey . Need your help to source parts .
Mark

No problem PM me. Are you UK based? The people I've dealt with ship worldwide anyway. Be glad to help.

Been a while, sold the Husky to a chap that was making composites for Metisse






and ended up making this...



Keen to make a Husky Metisse next, 4T or 2T though

Its been awhile there Wildbeast, the new project looks awesome.

Great bike

what a weapon!!...said the barmaid to the bishop

Really really nice. Was the frame made for you and that engine ?

The last of a batch of 12 by the late great Pat French for sportster engine, I used a Buell though. Very interested in making a Mk.3 Metisse Husky or possibly Maico next. If it's a full scrambler will be needing a test rider, Grouty???

I'll ride anything ...... You would have to give it just one go though Joe ! Easter Sunday at Devon Classic ??

As the Bishop said to the Actress!!

thats a really nice looking bike thanks for sharing the pic. Now how about a video.

All I got is these two, had a great summer riding and never got round to go-pro thing
