Howerton 1976 cr360

Pics were stolen from Newmann over at "one of the other sites".

Always nice to see an unrestored GP bike.

More info at the AMA Hall of Fame site.

Thanks for the pics!

I believe 1976 Brad Lackey also raced with Husqvarna and they were all involved in that tight 500cc national championship, that came down to the last race of the year.

1976 Husqvarna Factory truck

Bike on the right is HVA ? or , dare I say Honda?

awesome pics, like how its a pretty much stock bike, and pipe, sans for the forks, shocks and pro fab swinarm, any idea of the vin number???most factory racers were the first 50 bikes made.
iv owned a few factory bikes, all were set up in the same way,. i own a 73 400 CR set up just about the same way, though it does have some muffler mods,,not to make it fast, but to make it not burn your leg.
the 75 factory bike i had, was a lightweight, titanium bolts and screws, pro fab swingarm, custom forks and shocks as well, and super wide bars.
notice the ghost white rear fender, and replacement front fender?? looks like it was swapped out when being raced, by the looks of the van pic...thanks for sharing.

You guys ever run across this?
