    Hello, a few of you have seen my posts, been riding my whole life but new to huskys, I just bought this bike 2 months ago as a 2005 tc450 according to the po. Looking at it I know it's not a tc but definately a te has it has 6 gears and a steel exhaust. My other notice is I have the 50mm shivers on the front verified with calipers, I thought those only came on 06? I know 06+ bikes are 50 state legal but mine ha a ca carb sticker so I assume it is an 05, did someone switch the front end over or do I have an 06? Any help please!!

    The front end could have been switched, it is easy to do on huskys. You could also have a 2006 model.

    Possibly a 05 te modified into a 06 sm. Or a 05 1/2

    Thanks, I should be more clear that it's not an sm, I bought it with 18/21 and added these Ktm 17's for dual purpose riding

    Is there anything else I can check to see if it's an 05 or 06?

    My TE 450 which I bought brand new in March of 2007 is registered as a 2007 model, although the build tag says it's a 2006. It definitely looked exactly like a 2007 model though.

    Build year and model year are often different. An 06 build can be an 07 model. 05's and 06's were both carby models. Only modest model updates at that time around clutch and suspension. Think you have an 06 model there.

    The valve size is different between a 05 and 06, that would be the real tell.

    Ok, ya I wish there was an easy way to check that. I looked at the vin and it says 05 but who knows at this point!
