Eric's stamped on cylinder???

I puchased a 1983 Husky 250XC/WR project and the cyliner is stamped on both sides Erics. I was thinging maybe Erics the Husky dealer in Califoria maybe did this back in the day? Or maybe this was a former factory bike? Thanks

Usually means that the porting work was done there. The person doing the porting that was the signature. Later George

I guess that would make sense since it had some of your items on the bike. It's a strange bike-it has frame #'s of a 1983 250XC,but doesn't have the rear frame loop like a 250CR.Also I'm pretty sure it has a WR swing-arm because of the low seat height? Any idea's George?

Yes it is a WR swingarm ( brakes fixed to swingarm).
On CR or XC, the brakes are fixed to the frame.

From the pic it has the CR floating rear brake. As far as not having a rear frame loop when the got looped out and bent just cut them off. Check for a skid bar under the motor cradle thoes were cut off also so a flat skid plate could be used. Later George
