Magnificent 7

Love the Mad Max movies thanks for sharing the trailer.

the colors look right on

that's a cool job on the tank, wait till kato boss sees that!

Thanx! I try to scan my colors for a match.

Here is my chain wear pad and tensioner roller. Have to go tomorrow and pick up parts at the platers.

Here are also some parts I started cutting out for the aluminum air box. I went a lot lighter on the metal this time.

So hopefully, get it all tack welded and fitted into the frame. Going to leave the top portion designed to allow more air flow through the filter.

Like to get the engine cases all painted up over Christmas break in the new colors but we will see. Got quite a few things on other bikes to catch up on.

Got me swing arm ready to drop off at platers this am.

Air box coming along fine.

Air box moving right along!

Boot looks like big toilet flapper!

More

cant wait to see how this airbox looks.

Here it is, for right now. Dropping little cause it is not bolted in.

Clears the shocks, and top aligns nice with frame webbing. There is mod in Husky bulletins to open the top sides. So this should do the trick. The stock box was suppose to be like ram air. But it restricted air flow.

All left to do is get bottom on, make filter gizmo up top for filter holder, and weld some of the sides up.
Make some fancy gussets.

Then go back and grind everything up good, put some Purty welds on and sand and polish it up. What I might do after it's polished, is to bead blast a husky logo on rear then clear coat whole box.

But that is Friday! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! May visions of Husky parts dance in your heads!

Tippy out!

Well! You couldn't of sent me a better Christmas present!

Thanx Drew!

Dang you do nice work!

I know where those Yellow WER Off-road decals are going!

All fabricated.

Filter and filter holder fit nice. I sloped the bottom so it drains to one end and will get my black duck bill valve in.

Will go back and grind up everything real nice then put some purty welds on it. Have to wait till I get my swing arm back, middle of January to make sure the shocks don't rub. I recessed it copying off the original but want to be 100 % sure.
All that tight non air flow stuff up top has been eliminated. Filter is easier to get in and out easier.

Would say it is the same weight as stock or if not just a little lighter.

You can see I have about 25 % more filter exposure. Prob just lil more than the Husky bulletin mod.

1st coat of single stage urethane on the engine for the 83.

Let cure for 3 weeks and gasoline should not effect it.

Used epoxy primer underneath for a good bite!

Was going to polish but cases had too many nicks in them.

I think your getting the picture now?

But wait till later today when I get the yellow on!

Now I can show you top of the tank.

I put some silver and yellow in there to introduce silver to bike.

Last coat which was a mist coat to make the metallic even and pop.

Here lil better shot kinda together.

I love silver....but thats a bold move. I'm sure it'll be awesome in the end. I trust you. In case you were wondering....lol

Here are the cases that I just finished, after i got the yellow on.

I think we are ok. Newer Huskies in white frame have silver engines. I put a set of black Un assembled
Cases in the frame and no go on the black.

Switched out the seat cover for the darker blue one.
