    Anyone have pics of these for late '70s to early '80s CRs? I've seen the 'shorty" version that Up-Tite used to make and had heard they made one for the CRs but can't seem to locate any pics of that version or others.

    Wanting to make my own version.

    Thanks guys, never seen the one from WC & the one on H-P.com is a copy of Up-Tite's for the WR & XC models (smaller and different mounting than CR). May have to cob one together like the ol' days!

    I've been looking for one for the CR's '82 500 and the '83 250. Talked to George several weeks back and he said thought had found the drawings for it and to check back later in summer. Here's couple of pixs. Hard to believe that no one does the trick bling-bling stuff for Husky like they do for the Maicos and Elsinores. Maybe it will pick-up as Husky seems to be getting more popular in Evo class or maybe others have found as I have that its very under-valued compared to other brands and rock solid reliable ( and this from a Bultaco nut )

    All- found a pic from one of the guys on this site that has a PC 420 & am making a repro now & will ride with it at Perris next week. Based on that and figuring out limited run production & pricing we'll see how many people want them.

    I wish it would happen,but I bet you'll check back at the end of many summer's and it won't happen. George has alott of things going on and don't think vintage Husky stuff is at the top. I agree- I think some company should start popping out -brake levers,foot-pegs,pipes,silencers,ect. We can hope.:cheers:

    Lefty - any chance of a pix ? How about the brake arm ? I have one off a '83 Honda CR480 messed around with and with some machine work on mount to frame it could work but problem I see with it is it's too wide. Also have a chain guide off a '86-'88 Husky but it's a no go. Where did you get the one on your killer 430CR ?

    I did sell them with little response, they were an exact copy/reproduction of Up-Tites with Georges blessing. very expensive at the time to make, lots involved.

    I do not have the CR style to copy, still looking for one and I think George wishes he could find his patterns and until I can find one to use as a pattern it is in limbo. I may do the WR XC again in the future but they will be pricey, close to $200.00, do you know many people that would pay that? Lots of precision[IMG] bending plus machining and hard anodize, $$$$$$$ I do not make cheap products and George does not either, form + function = quality

    I do not mind paying for quality as even though I am no where near rich, I am anal about my bikes. Vintage mx is awesome in that some go crazy and spend $5k+ on bike and others cob a $1k special together and we all have the same grin on under our helmets. I also would love to get on of those cool brake arms that the PC boys had bitd. I tried matching up one off a '83 Honda CR480 but didn't match up well on the '82 500CR as was too wide. Anyone make pipes for a '83 500CR ? and since I am dreaming how about a set of the PC clamps for the '83 ? Leftcoast let us know when you get yours out.

    ohh, sooo much to share. already have one of the aluminum torque arms (w/red anodized heim joint) & working on v2 of brake pedal. busted Ti chain adjusters 2x along with bending the Ti axle so it's back to stock there (and the mad lab this winter to rectify) Had Ti suspension posts done plus swing arm pivot, front axle, all bits (w/some alum), Ti & drilled brake cams. Ported, new pipe. It's almost done
