My project - '75 CR250

Finally decided to work on bringing this Husky back to life.

One of my way too many project bikes. Don't remember how much I paid for it... $200 or so. It is missing exhaust, which I have on the way, and it does have some wrong forks on it. Makes it look like the chopper Husky didn't build. I have another set of forks here somewhere.

Is that a correct rear fender color for this year and model? I know it is missing the lower splash guard also. I was looking at DC Plastics and the fenders only come in white or translucent in their listing for the '75.

No that rear fender is not correct. Vintage Husky has fenders for it, that's where I got mine from.

Thanks Tommy. Vintage Husky it is. Their pricing is better and they also have the inner fender guard.

Hey if you have anymore questions just ask as I have a few 75 & 76 250CR's myself.
Do you know what rear shocks those are ?, they look like they might have been painted along with the frame.

Not sure about anything with this bike. Here are some close-up pics of the shocks. And yes, someone did spray paint over them.

Get a parts manual (on this site & elsewhere) and owner's manual- great place to start. The forks are later model 40mm and waaaaay too long, that's why it rides like a chopper. These came with 35mm "black leg" ('77 they were leading axle) forks with about 7.5" travel. I think elsewhere on this site is a test on this model.
