    It will be after I get these 5 done.

    I did have the 87 430 and really liked that one.

    There were some great LC single shock bikes Husky produced.

    good to hear! i think they are very underrated...i will look forward to seeing how you tackle a nice 85-88....these and the early husqiva were really sharp bikes...it makes me sad we didnt get to see how the swedes would evolve from the eighties..

    I know I haven't posted in a while but I have been busy.

    Looks like I am also building one of my favorites in the assembly line. So that gives me 6 bikes for now until I get these all done.

    I think you can guess from the tank I finished spraying yesterday, which bike I have added to my collection.

    I have to back up a little and catch this one up with the others.

    It may take me a little longer to do all six, but that is fine. I just want to make sure they are all done like they came off the showroom floor.

    I've been watching this thread and you are so making me want to build one. I'd just have to have you do my tank.

    How bout you build one and next time I'm coming down to Evansville, I teach you how to do it?

    I can bring my stuff, as long as you have a compressor.

    Well I think I am finally catching this one up to the others.

    Frame was painted over last weekend.

    Next up, I have to get these up on stands/secured with pipe wrap foam/heavy duty zip ties, to the stands.

    Plus, I still have to label every part to this bike in large freezer bags and get them into 2 tubs (1 for frame parts and 1 for engine parts).
