Magnificent 7

This is my ignition cover!

That's not a decal!

Got an hour in my shop oven.

Not sure yet if I will come back and use more black on the cover around the sides?????

Ignore the forks and rear shock.

cool job, looks great....Pro circuit will be miffed!

Thanx suprize!

Now I'm stuck at the forks.......

Almost impossible to find a set of fox forks but there is a couple sets, priced unreasonable.

I don't think they were top performers anyway.

Another option is to go simons and wait patiently for a set?

In meantime, think I'll shave off the Husqvarna name on forks and clear coat them, then use these decals, or just paint it on with KG stuff.

Nother option is to leave existing forks metal, accident around Husqvarna in white, do husqvarna in black, then do a yellow, orange, red stripe?

I could even machine the front and back ribs off, but not sure if it will make them weak and I'm asking for trouble? Andy might know?

Here is decal on way like on the fox forks

can yo fit some showas and dress them up...look a bit more ...dare i say it.."Foxy"

I could! What do I need? From what model? Size forks in mm? Do I need triples?

Does front end and axle swap right over?

Not bad idea!

I like it as is. "A good artist knows when to stop."

HONDA USED A 41mm on XRs in the early 80s

Another good option would be 81 YZ forks. They're a 43mm KYB and were considered excellent at the time. AND THEY HARDLY EVER LEAKED!!

The front brake was good, too, so if you use the wheel it's a double benefit.

Guess tomorrow, gonna ad a Maico Breako into the collection.

250 Magnum II

If got time I'll restore that this winter. That depends if can find aluminum swingarm for it.

Got set of red and black ohlins ready to go.

Always wanted one.

I say!

Just grind the Husqvarna name off. Dress them up shiney again and spray them with Automotive clear.

Then apply decal......

The steering stem is short on the Yamaha triples for the Husqvarna neck. You will need to extend the stem(cut and weld in spacer) or use a stem from a PE400 Suzuki or a Kawasaki KX 125-250-500. You will want to play with the valving and I would do that without resorting to RaceTech. I would weld up the damping rod holes and install the pattern I feel works the best. Husqvarna-ish

Maico going home

Nice. Also, I got "Maico deja vu" from your Husky tank paint job- very cool, too.

Love the Maico. Looks like a great project.

Great bike, owned one from 2003 until 2015, steer brilliantly, front brake sucks if not set up correctly, not the most powerful engine in it's class.
I should have kept mine, I had a 490 motor to fit into it to build a "frankenbike", a combo of Maico's best engine and their best steering frame.
Tony.

moto villa- -maico steering but better brakes

Thanx guys!

This Maico will be a fun build, as well.

That does look good.
