A couple of my Huskys

Just finished a few Huskys ,[thanks to Mick at PRIME 8 and Damo]

I like the black tank !

The xc 430 is totally original , down to the trelleborgs

That's why I like it !
Good finding !

Nice bikes!

love the silver streak looks almost original ! Mine had the gold bars or were they black ? anyway god rid of the magura sidepull and put a gunner gaser on .

Nice collection of big bores!

Nice, big bores the only way to fly. Awesome lookers too. You keep them really clean too.

yes ! ok is not
original bike !
but y like !

Yes I like. My two project bikes won't be completely original but I'm buying one part at a time. I find the original 83/84 gas tanks cheaper and more available. On my early 80's cr frames they will hold more gas. I'll either paint them black for the 420 or red for the 430. I'm happy to find most of the correct parts but anything I can have fit will be ok.

You have a nice bike there I like it. Bill

Is the longer kick starter make the 500 easier to start?

The 84 xc 500 has every bearing changed [engine , wheels , frame ] new bore and piston , rear shocks are Promax adjusable comp/damp , heavier spring , front has heavier springs and pd valves , rims are Excel with heavier s/steel spokes new plastics including larger tank , I have an 83 alloy xc tank that will be painted white with a black area instead of shinny alloy patch , re earlier models , HVA pipe with DG muffler , high rise Renthal bars with new Magura levers and new throttle , new cables , new seat foam and custom made gripper cover , new alloy engine cover new 40mm Mikuni carb , new reed petals , new rubber manifold , both sides , new brake shoes , and every part is painted.Basically the bike is new.
Kick starter and stainless steel decomp machined into head are exactly what these big bores need , easy on engine cases and easier to start.

Sweet

Very nice indeed. Got any more info on the shocks?

nice job on that XC, its a BT
