    Hi all. I own what I believe to be an 85 cr500 husky. I bought it around 92'. I was told it belonged to a Greg or Craig Torgenson who rode for husky?? aka Torqy Torgenson??? Ring a bell to anyone? It still has the AMA tag strapped to the frame. The cylinder head has had the black removed and Pro Circuit is etched into the side in cursive. It could have been a line they were giving me but they didn't stand to gain anything from it. Im sure all of these bikes are a crazy as this one. Really scary the first time I rode it at 18!!!

    Help anyone?? Ive been wondering about this since I bought it!

    I find it easiest to load them onto photobucket ( or similar) and then copy and paste the img link into your post...you should not be blocked from that.

    Alternate method is to click onto the insert image above and load off of your computer ( will give you a thumbnail size image that can be clicked on and viewed larger)

    A little history. The water pump eroded so it has been parked for some time at a friends. I took off the side tank stickers due to them falling off. I paid $650 for the bike, a second bike that was a 250cc came with it that didnt run. I have other up close pics of the motor etc. You can barely see the red AMA tag on the frame. It ran perfect. Btw Does anyone know where I can get a replacement side case? I ran into some on husqvarnaparts online but the side cases they have are aluminum. I was told mine is magnesium? Dont know if thats true. Let me know if the pics come out...

    Pics come out just fine when you click on the link... for future reference you can copy the IMG link from Photobucket and post the link right into the body of your text... it will then come up showing the image in the thread.

    Ebay for the side cover.... or post on here in the classifieds... or call any of the Husky part sources. Someone might have one.
