    i wouldnt say its my dream bike but its a very cool husky..:thumbsup:
    im thinking the original tire would be a metzeler of some sort...i run metzeler uni cross on all my swedes. great traction over many conditions, keeps decent traction as the knobs wear as well. probably not the lightest out there but very durable. they definitely look great on an older bike as well. ive bought about 6 of them so far and i havent bought my last. they are also dot approved as well.

    i never imagined ever owning one of these but it fell into my lap and i am quite curious
    it is a Metzler, never seen one of this type before, will look in the AM to see the type
    i also run the UniCross on some of mine, mostly front as they are multiple terrain

    looks like it has a 5 spring clutch which is interesting..alot of the spare wheels i have had a metzeler mxr on them, think those were discontinued awhile ago tho.
    if it were me i would be very tempted to fit a thumper model lectron. that bike is going to be freaking sweet when you are done.
