    I recently bought a new bike, to me anyway. Ive never owned a Husky before Ive always had KTMs or RMs. The guy at the salvage shop says its a 420 or above and the year is an 85. I was runnin a bit low on cash and picked this up cheap. It looks to be complete other than buying a kickstarter and the clamps to hold the bars on are gone as well.
    If anyone has any parts to sell please for it drop me a line.

    Is there any advice I can get on this bike?? Im hoping the motor will be fine at least until I get it going. I didnt try to start it because the kickstarter was gone so I bought one on Ebay. I hope to get it ready to ride by next spring.

    Moving to vintage where the people hang out that can help you, and there are the vintage classifieds to post wanting to buy - some buy/sell people sometimes only read the classifieds.

    Post a picture if you can

    Hi New_husky_owner,

    Welcome to the team...

    Post up a picture. It doesn't matter what state it's in... The guys on the forum are really helpful so you'll have no problem in getting back to it's former glory.

    If you can find the chassis number it can be identified then you'll know for sure. You'll be able to find parts and owners manuals for quite a number of the years in the Vintage/Left Kickers.... just take a little time to nose about.

    I have an '85 500CR which I am slowly putting back together (highlights in the restoration section).

    Looking forward to seeing your Husky.
