    What's the Dif?

    The Frame, airbox & suspension differ from 1978 to 79 or 80, Husky upgraded these parts,in 79. 78 still had the metal airbox,79 & 80 has
    a plastic one with flip opening lid (no tools needed).

    Frame is different,& not just the air box area.
    1) how the seat mounted was changed in 79 & again in 80
    2) they dropped the rear fender loop on the CR models
    3) suspension was increased in length in 79 & again in 80

    Motor was changed from 79 to 80, the cylinder bolts were spread
    so they could make the 81 430. So a 79 & 80 top end are not
    the same.

    Probably more, it's just too early to think 100%:doh:

    i Run 32 to 1 in all my Huskys
