Magnificent 7

Thanx Gary,

Got couple more sets to run through. So now I have a lot more education on the whole process. From letting them strip them, the welding and blocking the heat.

I will get these done first thing this spring.

Will say these guys are great to work with!

I am pretty sure those marks are a brushed appearance and also hides weld blending.

Think that was meant to be that way. Plush it dulls the shine.

Guy could reproduce that but that would be a pain to do.

Here are the hubs. Old Bike Dude, did them in blue like you suggested.

Worked on welding up airbox. I still can't weld the sides up where I indented it to clear shocks. Have to wait till get swing arm back. I do like the air box!

i think the airbox is going to be sweet! would love one on my 84!

Next up is to make new silencer end.

I need a steel end for the silencer that came on the 400WRX. I have not decided between turning a steel cone on my lathe or welding sheetmetal together yet.

Here is the fit. All left to do is drill hole in the end, clean up the insert and weld insert in the end cap.

That thing was like welding diet coke can.

You can get the cones already made out of company in california.

Just cut and weld together.

I will try to get web address for you tomorrow.

Here ya go! They got all kinds of stuff. Used them building muscle cars.

The got all kinds of motorcycle stuff too!

You've got some mad fab skills my friend! I hope you are in business for yourself. You should be.

i agree!

Oh this silencer is a beech!

But think you guys is gonna like her!

Thank you Darin, very nice and helpful site. May even be able to build an expansion chamber for the 83 430WR I am putting together

You should be able to get most parts. I am gonna get the parts here to build a cone pipe.

I think the rest you can do local if you know a guy with a good pipe bender at a muffler shop.

Ok, this silencer is almost done!

You gonna need sun glasses!

Here is silencer.

I engraved a Husky logo on it and in layed blue in the engraving to make it stand out.

Got a ding in it but it is under the side plate. Logo is angled same as side plate and centered between side plate and end of silencer.

Still got to clear over the blue.

Great post, your motivating everyone to do restorations on the old Swedish iron. Freaking awesome paint "custom art work" on the husky gas tanks. I timed my restorations to be completed on super bowl Sunday's. One ear on the game while we turned wrenches. Around the end of the game we gassed and oiled it up. By 10:30/11:00pm there was fire in the hole and she was rippin up the neighborhood. Sometimes it was around 12am. The neighbors loved me.
Every super bowl Sunday a restored husqvarna was brought back to life.
If I don't do one this year on time the next year's super bowl it will happen with another one. Being off the husky grid for 13 years I'm back. It's the most fun we can have with our clothes on. Happy New Year, bigbill

Big Bill!

Thank you! And thank you for the motivation!

Just something about these ol gals, I think we all have a soft spot for.

Every day I kick myself for getting rid of the old ones. But here is my chance to bring back some memories. Kids are all grown. Now I don't have to take a back seat, cause the kids always came first.

I know I'm going lil over board. But these things are like a favorite muzzle loader that you have to pry out of our hands. I just want these in good shape and enjoy them, while I can.

Just like all of you have done.

So Happy New Year Husky Brothers!

Thinking about hand guards.

I like the Cycra ones.

Ignore what I have on there and just trying out the Cycra bracket. They fit real good. I stuck these old Husky ones on as kinda a concept.

Ignore the decals as well and thinking about getting these? Probably white, blue and yellow?

when are you going into production on those silencers can we get one with a spark arrestor screen
