TE/TC Custom AUS TALIAN Stallion

Some folks on here know my bike builds in the past and some of you know the bikes I build currently. Mostly are Vintage builds.

So thought it was time to take my Modern Race, Husky Txc 310R and bring it up lil current with newer colors.

So this is how I spent my winter.

The bike: well probably one of my favorites. Light, handles best ever owned. Good smooth engine, and the suspension shop set my KYB's up perfect. Plush in woods but you can blast across a frozen plowed field and not feel a thing. My suspension was set up to carbon copy Andrew De Long's.

I'm lil old school. Give me a good light handling bike. Then I focus on tires, suspension, ergos, etc....

Performance? Ha! Stick your money in the gym cause it doesn't make you faster if you don't have the fitness to endure.

Not ready yet to pull trigger on new bike till maybe one more year. But this bike will prob be a keeper in my long term stash.

Here are some of my past builds:

Here is a current vintage Husky build in works. This is 1 of 6 I'm building:

So here is the AUS TALION Stallion. Before and after:

Some curse this bike for starter issues. But I had new gears from get go and was told to can the stock battery and get one with high cold cranking amps. Which I did and it has been reliable.

I built a whole radiator shroud under carriage system going off the radiator braces and existing tank holes, so tank was not basterized. You can still plop stock shrouds on any time you feel like it.

A lot of thought process went into this bike and a lot of machining, aluminum welding, and anodizing. I knew I could pull it off!

Those are KYB's with WP stickers. Even polished the tubes.....

Still up is completing graphics for rear fender, side plates, swing arm, front plate and lower fork protectors.

Can you post a picture of the tank and shroud under carriage system? Looks sweet!

I can but only works with the 13/14 TXC 4 stroke tank?

That's the one I made under carriage system for. Doubt if shrouds will ever work on smaller tank.

I realize that, but would just like to see how you did it.

Ok try to get it posted by tonight.

Here you can see I used a set of UFO ones for mock up:

Here is my custom painted helmet I did to go with it.

Awesome!

Norm,

Here is the aluminum under carriage system I made. I still need to tidy things up, like trim it and polish it up.

The front part I welded directly to the radiator braces and I have drilled holes for increased air flow. This is where the radiator braces fits to the shroud.

The side mount also is designed to push the shroud out a little out to increase air flow as well, but designed to spread a blow against stock tank in a crash. Also just have to remove the side mount bolt and swing bracket down for fast tank removal.

The shroud in the drivers seat with legs, I think is better than old husky ones.

The top mounts were angled, cut, pop riveted, drilled to go right in existing tank lugs.

Everything actually is mounted to any original tank lugs.

The top of shroud ( hole on each shroud) holes are not even needed at all, due to how secure these are mounted.I used two push in rubber bumpers to rub against tank.

Seat goes on and off just like factory fit.

Here are my hubs. I just polished them. Blasted the husky logos and in layed paint.

Rims were silver, so took them to anodizing place to strip. Then brought them home to polish and take back up for anodizing. I did consider blue but several guys, that knew I was building this all recommended the black rims.

mate that is an awesome machine nice work !!

I've put a yellow / white / blue sticker kit on my '07 TE450 but you sir have gone next level !!

he tends to do that!

Mint Darty just mint!

All looks very time consuming n expensive?!

Very nicely done........a true craftsman indeed.

Thank you for the pics. Super nice job!

I like that set up.... I hate the Italian husky shrouds they are like huge tree and brush collectors....

Ive got it easy, if I want Husky shrouds on the KTM 200.... tanks swap!
