    Here the 1979 390CR I finished for my son about a month ago. He's had a chance to ride it a couple times and loves it. I added a couple before pic's for comparison.

    Cool! Very nice work

    Agreed, very nice! I was thinking the same type thing, for an earlier bike, and wondering how easy it would be, and how good it would look. Sounds simple enough, and looks great.

    Hi Michel, I've seen your wizzy radiators before and very much admire them.

    Is that an original front fender? It looks good. If it's a copy, could you tell me where to buy from please?

    Kind regards

    Michel,
    I bought a really rough 85 250cr for spare parts and it was on it.
    I know Husky Products used to make them back in the mid 80s
    but I had never seen one until I found this one.
    Starting my 86 430ae restoration next!
