    Just bought this and am buying parts to restore it. I have no paperwork on the bike, and unfortunately the numbers on the frame are only partially legible. the numbers off the engine are: 16 14 582, 1615271 and lower on the case is the numbers show in the pic above, 2063 0330. I have bought a new clutch cover, water pump impeller and cover, brake/ clutch cables. I found that dc plastics has some hard to find husky parts also. modern clutch cover for this made of aluminum not magnesium so the coolant wont corrode it. If anyone can help me determine what model this bike is it would be helpful. I'm also looking for a lot of other parts. stater, swing arm, and clutch being a few of the bigger ones. I could use some info on redoing the reeds and carb rebuilding kits as far as brands to go with. I am also leaking oil out of the front chain gear, I believe the case has to be split for the bearing, Anyone ever tackled this job before?? I havnt..... I will have more pics to post as the project goes on. any help appreciated. Thanks

    looking at the rear brake is the quickest way to tell
    look for a long square tube from the rear brake to the frame just below the brake pedal it's CR (picture provided)
    if there is a flat piece of aluminum from the brakes to the swingarm it's XC

    Looks like the spark arrestor silencer in the picture.

    At least he didn't join ask a lot of questions and then try and sell the bike.

    I see a spare swingarm on the ground. It has the two cross pieces which in my stuff seems to come on wr and ae but that may vary.

    man i hate the join, ask, and sell crap. really makes you feel like youre working for someone earning them cash, instead of just helping someone.
