    PM sent. I read your post just in time. I was about to burn the old Husky to warm my hands up before writing out a check for a KTM... :lol:

    I try not to get excited about this stuff, but it is tough sometimes. Trying to race the old Husky and getting parts can be tough... Without Motosportz, I'd have lit this bike on fire long ago.

    If I need a spoke for a YZ250/kx250/RM250, $3 later I am riding. If I need a spoke for a Husky, it is 'special'. 'Special' doesn't impress me at all! I just want to ride!! Make this shit so that we can get parts! Special doesn't win the damn race - I've hit plenty of stuff at 70 mph on a YZ without wrecking the rim or spoke. Jus sayen...

    I just had my wheels P/C. It cost me $40 and was back to me in one day.

    This is after truing them. Of course I need tires now.

    I did. I had never done it before so I just looked up video's on youtube, and learned alot. The front wheel was first. It went well. The rear was all wacky and took awhile to get. The hardest part is getting the up and down to go away. Side to side is easy to get straight.

    All right you talked me into it. Nothing worse than riding a bike that feels like it is always going over whoops or tracks like a sidewinder. I may go with new rims because the inside was pretty corroded. I might do the hubs as well.

    Yours look good so you convinced me. Just send me a box of bandaids for the hubs. My finger tips get worn down from sanding that I could crack a safe.

    Now you need to do your frame in white and your fork tubes in black!

    I would like to do those things, but suspension work from LTR is next on the list. The shock was done by them, now for the forks when $ persists for it.

    If and when I have to tear into the motor, then I'll get the frame painted white. What about a black or red frame? I almost did it here recently, because I was bored, but talked myself out of it since there was no real need to tear the bike down just for paint.

    I'm not to worried about the forks being black. I would go the anodizing route with those anyways.

    :D

    My 250 has the red frame but I think after looking at it for a year, I like the white better or possibly black? I had my red frame powder coated and some other ones done, prior. If I even look at it it chips real bad. I would strip it and have a body shop paint it using enamel or base coat clear coat. LTR did a great job on my forks, big difference!
