Thanks!

That credit belongs with the rider!

My 1982 XC250

Well, I'm the happy new 3rd owner of this garage kept Husky. 2nd owner had this 1982 XC250 since around 1985. Occasionally used for trail riding in the 80's so he says. Considering it still has the original Pirelli front tire with significant tread left and original seat cover (no cracks or rips), figure he is telling the truth. Supposedly still standard bore, we'll see about that soon enough. The guy even had the original owners manual, sell sheet, tools, and the dealer's post-sale mechanic's completed check list and 30 day warranty card all in very nice condition.

Other than the tank, rear fender, missing swingarm chain protector and after market silencer, looks to be in remarkably good condition and runs as good as it looks.

I remember riding my old Suzuki TM 125 around the deserts and mountains around Tucson, Az back in the early '80's and always wanting a Husky, so 30 some years later, here it is.

Not going to do full restoration, just a good cleanup, some new paint, suspension improvements etc this next year. Already picked up a suitable used and dented (but repairable) '82 husky tank. Current tank looks more like Dakar Rally equipment. Then going to have fun riding with my son who is getting his first bike for Christmas.

Looking forward to leaning on the extensive expertise in all things vintage husky that can be found amongst the members here at Cafe Husky!

Adam

Great find!
Those 250 XC's are nice bikes. I have one too as my winter project, well one of my winter projects. Welcome!

I promised WoodsChick I'd post a picture of my CH sticker on the Husky.

I added a few more stickers (nothing special, I figure only a 5hp gain)

If I can find a HotWheels sticker with flames, I figure that one is good for an extra 5hp all by itself!

that adam is a nice bike..... get the original tank on quick!....hate those desert jobs! and keep the green plates...

Agreed, the tank will go. I picked up a tank already, but need to find someone capable to do some repair work. Not sure if I want to do orignal colors, black with gold trim around the polished aluminum panels.

I don't recall which member here did it, but I saw an '83 500 with a bare aluminum tank with some husky decals that looked great, may do the same think since I'm going to ride and probably do some vintage racing. No need for super nice paint when it will proabably just get scratched up in short order.

Here is one I bought for the museum. It has a 1979 New Jersey plate on it. The guy bought it one year old from the dealer. It has a steel front rim but he said that is the way he got it. Never said anything about breaking springs or starting issues. It got a new piston every year they were cheap he said. Won two class championships on it not sure exactly what that means. It is sitting on a pail of Texaco fluid. My apologies if I posted it earlier. It started and pulled forward though I haven't ever rode it. There seems to be some automatic interest lately.

Looks like it might have another manufactures forks on it? Now those are barkbusters! Great find

Fox Airs too...nice

Ya, those rear shocks are probably worth as much as you paid for the whole bike. Nice find! Love that "groovy" swingarm.

My 2 beauties;
