    This followed me home this weekend. It's even nicer in person, looks like it rolled off the assembly line. Says it is '87 430CR by numbers but for some reason has the conventional 40mm Husky forks. I've read where some of the factory riders preferred the 40mm over the WP...really not big deal to me as 1) I am not that fast that it matters 2) like the looks/style of the conventional forks myself. Said it was completely restored/re-built by Husky Parts as a fund raiser, broke the motor in then drained all fluids and had it on display in living room until momma said "it's got to go, get it out". I'll update it as I go through and maybe add some goodies to it...I'm not sure on the pipe, think its Dynoport but not sure

    Nice bike for sure.
    WP or Husky forks could be had in 87. Folks say the WP forks are a pain to service vs. Husky forks.
    Pipe does look like a Dynoport but could be an Up-Tite.

    Somebody was creative with the restoration. Interesting.

    If it was rebuilt by Phillip at www.husqvarna-parts.com, then it would be a Dynoport as Phillip is a dealer for them

    Thank you much Jim, it was built by Phillip, Dynoport it is

    Yeah, wasn't thrilled with the powder coated swingarm and spring at first but looks pretty good in person

    It'll be raced couple times per year, I am anxious to try it out as heard/read plenty of good things about the 430. Have a Dirt Bike mag from '87 with the 430CC in it and they spoke highly of it

    Gary, you got it man, bring your 430 to Rio so I can take a spin on it as well

    Wow, beautiful bike. I rode an 87 500 for a few years in the desert. Awesome handling bike not to mention loads of power for sand washes and hills. Oh geez those were fun times. Lucky that 430 is not in my garage because it would be covered in desert silt. :D

    Nice bike! Here is me on mine back in day taking overall in Kansas.

    Mine had the Dynoport pipe on it as well.

    Was heavy bike but it sure did haul! I kept ripping 3rd gear out and the mating gears.

    I sold mine because i waited 3 months for gears last time they went out.
