FE/FC Interesting mods and bits for the new Husky

"You need to completely remove the radiators to install the kit"

Curious to see how the fan mounts or does the bracket go around it?

The fan mounts directly to the new guard. I will need to drill the rivets out to remove the fan from the rad. I'm not concerned with the process and its in my comfort zone. I worked as a aviation structural mechanic for 8 years for uncle Sam. I've seen my share of rivets...

Need to take the brake tip off and grind off the two teeth closest to the inside.

Why would I do that? I'm guessing to avoid puncturing the clutch cover if things go badly?

You should see the gigantic hole in Justin's case cover. And of course you cannot weld it because it is made of some funky worse-than-husky pot metal sold to the lowest bidder.

If that does happen then I would be forced to replace it with this... Of course that's if I had enough JB Weld to make it back to camp.

Maybe 7602 will make you one

Nice blue color. Is that for a Husaberg and just has a sticker? LOL

Oooooo! Box number 2 showed up. Chums hooked me up with a slightly used BRP sub mount for a Scotts damper at a great price too. Just finished installing it. I pulled the throttle cables to the side to take the picture. Here is a really crappy nighttime garage picture.

Do the 14's come with inline fuel filters fitted?

Yes, stuck in the quick connection in the gas line..... tiny little filter.

I ordered the hard parts fuel sock as well. Kinda sucks when filling the fuel tank with the sock in there since it slows down the flow a bit but it should help protect the fuel components.

The fuel sock is horrible and the tiny filter in the quick disconnect is as well. Fortunately the 501 comes with much larger orifices on the fuel injector than the 450s. We created a 10 micron stainless steel fuel filter to solve this issue. There are two filters in your fuel tank, so no fuel sock is necessary. Also, we are a SAR dealer, so anything you need from them, we can order for you.

My buddy has one of the socks on his 350 EXC so I ordered one from my dealer. I just called them to cancel it. How do I get the ZipTy one and do you have the part # handy? Thanks

A bunch more boxes showed up this week so here are some items.

New Husky factory tall seat, Sicass rear brake switch, plate holder and a G2 dirt tamer. All got installed without issues. Plug and play.


Next is the BRP handguard mounts and Cycra probends.


Here are some pictures of the rivet removal process needed to remove the radiator fan from the right side radiator. 5/16" drill bit and a steady hand and you're done.




I'm beat so I'll snap some more pictures tomorrow once I get the silicone hoses installed. Good night yawl.
