    Got these grommets long time ago to make gas tank ones. I just stack washer high enough over them. Then I cut them off even to length with razor blade.

    I got couple new kicker bumpers but keeps throwing kicker back into the case.
    So did lil messing around and cut these off. All I had to do is cut small V in it where the case web was. In order for it to sit flush. These keep kicker off my case and paint. Also, sticks out the same.

    Great kicker pivot with splines is too big for hole in kicker.
    Figures! The old one that is cracked and welded up fits.
    Guess this gets visit to machinist as well.

    Here is how I keep my trannies stored in zip loc bags. I zip tie everything together.
    After I un assemble an engine.

    Even zip tie washer to crank.

    As far as I know from parts fische.

    The 79/80 Cr 390 used the external moto plat ignition.
    This one above is an internal Electrex modern version. I converted it over switching crank ends and modifying the mounting plate.

    So, if my calculations, past experience, doing this on other bikes. This baby should come off the line quick and rev.
    I also messed with the porting on this.
    External good for single track flywheel inertia. Internal = let's fly! But might be more to stall in the tight stuff.

    Thanx Ruwfo!

    This is how I prob gonna do 430 cyl and Head.

    This is just rough! I will get decals made to shoot husky logos on better.

    Just kinda quick cut them out of masking tape.

    This is color of tank.

    Might put a band of gold on through cyl and head that is on existing aluminum.

    Then do the burgundy.

    I only have 2 cents worth of opinion . I would only go with one H on the sides at top. I would want to match
    Huskies use of one H with each Husqvarna. If I had access to a Cad mill , I would recess the H in the cylinder at the top. then paint inside the recessed area for bling

    I really like the look of bringing back the burgundy - its on Heikki world championship bikes.

    I agree with you both.

    Let me try some other things.

    Now that I've slept on it I agree.

    So I tried this?
