    It looks like they put the additional hole on the swing arm to lower the bike to match the forks which appear to be 9" forks from a WR, this would cause the frame tube being mentioned to appear more vertical than on the standard setting..The bike does not have the boss for the chain roller right above the swing arm pivot like an '83-'84 though, we really need to see pictures of the frame without side covers, seat and tank on it.

    the steering head also has no gussets on the sides like an 83-84. looks weird? did the earlier frames look that way?

    Yeah, I noticed that too. I'd really like to see some pictures of the frame with the seat, side panels and the tank taken off.

    pretty sure all the late 70s and up had the gussets, perhaps the head angle was altered.

    The tank is from a 510 TE 85 (twin). We see the holes for the "H".
    The silencer seems to be an ANSWER.

    Is cylinder 420 or 430 ?

    It seems to also have a hose on the connection from carb to reeds cage ! Bottle like Yamaha and pro-circuit HVA ?

    There is a black hose under the tank above the reed block seems to be hangin there but may have been a temporary fix placed under the tank to stop it rattling.the left side looks to have a tube going from the reed block to the carb but thats just the kicker tip which almost appears to be swivel type.frame missing gusset.side panels similar to pro circuit but could be from a non husky.

    If any of y’all are still around currently own that motorcycle came to me with the broken Kickstarter shaft which I have replaced now I can’t seem to get it to start. I guess I don’t have enough ass. I’m actually looking for. How do you pull start one of these it’s evidently been sitting for a while.
