Magnificent 7

polished / red is the go....

Here is hub and backing plate painted and hardware plated.

Lookin good!

Thanx guys!
Now that I can actually try them on.
Think the polished/red, black hubs, polished rims.

Ok back at it. Bars levers etc...on. Decided to use seat cover where I painted on the red Husqvarna lettering.
Have red magura lever covers coming.
Think it gonna come together real nice.

its looking spec!

Thanx Suprize!

If i have time this weekend. Might fab up a modern skid plate for the two fitty. This what i kinda have in mind that i made for my 2013 bike.

pipe protection is the main issue unless you are into rocks and logs...

Ok, think I'm covered!

Ok keep banging my head on these from hanging.

Which one motocross pipe?

Which one XC pipe?

That's what I get for not labeling.

Rest of the 6 pipes hanging, I know which bike they go to!

i bet the bottom is cr, with fatter pipe.

The CR pipe is the one with the section added in towards the top of the expansion chamber

250 cr 1981

250 xc 1982


very good job !

Thanx guys!

Hopefully I got time to blast her up this weekend, wire wheel it and torch it up to kinda give it the natural blue finish/some good ol gear oil!
Guess what they say: Put it in your pipe and smoke it? Well bet it smells like Castrol R!

The upper pipe seems to be a 80-81.
The lower seems to be a 82+.

Well that would prob be correct. Cause this bike had original 82 bottom end with an adapter plate and 79 250 cylinder on it!

Ok that the one I got with tail pipe longer. Thank you. Of course that's the one dent that gonna have to heat and pump air pressure in.

Ok guess I am a Dentist today. Here is my set up. But I do safety wire my plugs in. Looks like 45 psi did the trick with oxy/act torch. Was time consuming but they are all out. Object is not to get too carried away and make the dent go outwards. I usually test first one and start with about 35 psi.

Well this is first fork on.

So this is what it gonna look like with polished fork legs.
