    Never have seen an Air Filter cover like this. Anyone know a source for one? Thanks

    I've never seen that either. Is it plastic or aluminum?

    Never have seen one either in all the years I've had an interest in that era Husky. Maybe a limited run of an aftermarket part that never went anywhere so it never made it to the retail shelf? That bike has had frame work done as well. Would be nice to see more pics of it.

    No idea?! Good looking unit though! Nice to see something different every now and then to make everyone scratch their heads a little bit and wonder. Never even seen that in pictures or ever for that matter! Home made?

    Frame also looks a bit different. The rear engine mount and the brace directly above the number plate. Also my backing plate isn't stamped with the crown like that one. Odd beast for sure. The brace from the frame to the intake is also gone. But mine is also a 72 250. Probably a few differences depending on how close yours is to mine. Awesome bike though!

    72 250 CL - Copy.jpg Great observations. In addition to the frame bracing, it looks like the swing arm pivot brackets have been drilled, and the brake pedal has had the rod attachment point relocated. It's not mine, but found on Craigslist. The ad is a bit confusing as they state in all Caps not to email, but call. Unfortunately, I can't find a number in the ad to call.

    Here is a link to the ad and a few more pics:

    Not a 72 tank either. Mine is a 72 250. It has the more round tank. That looks like it might be a few years later but I'm not way familiar with these years but I do know that isn't a 72 tank haha nice looking ride though

    I have the guy's ph number (Russ- ad writer or Mark?? owner- I dunno which). Russ got in touch with me after an email and said he corrected the ad... but it's gone now?

    pm me if you want the number.

    On that frame there would be no reason for the bracing tubes added unless the numberplates are concealing laydown shock mounts. The laydown shock mounts may have been removed during the restoration
