Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

Far too expensive, first gear clutch, kickstart gears and cover missing, it will need a new crank as well, bearings and sprag clutch will not run on rust

yep Stormer, I hear ya......I'd already got most of that from the threads so far. So maybe with this knowledge in advance, I might turn out to be a better auto pilot (ha ha funny, I work for British Airways.....not as a pilot though...)

Thanks surprize, I'm just itchin' to get out there on it. Do miss the wide open spaces of Aus though, you got it made really :-) I grew up riding around Mt Cootha in Brisbane then ventured west to Goondiwindi, St. George and Roma where you could scream down endless dirt roads, literally for days. Living in UK now and that just doesn't exist here......the nearest equivalent, 'Green Laning' is very much under threat of extinction due to noise, erosion etc.

When I eventually return home it will be with the 500AE to get it into the outback where it belongs :-))

The secret to any auto resto is to first fix the firkin brakes Then you can start on anything else you like...

The 500 AE is good for stoppers, has a disc on the front.

The 500 has a drum the 430WC has the disc

No issues at all then.....

Nothing that a ships anchor and 20 foot of chain won't sort out!

that's for early KDX brakes....

How much for that sweet thaaang

5000???? phark! more than I make a year!!!

toys are for sale!!!

The bike and I are on the extreme S.W. coast of Ireland. We're on the Atlantic. The next land you come to is the States. I'm 67, do you think that's a little old for this stuff ? Nahhhhhhhh !!

Sweet bike James! 67? Don't be so childish. Maybe you better give that bike to me until you grow up.

I would like to see this go back to posting pictures of members bikes like it was in the beginning !!!

The voice of reason.

I'll start. Here's my 1973 CR 400. It's not very fast at the moment, but hoping it will be soon.

Here is my 87 street bike.
I put a spare 400 XC motor in,way more fun beating up on cars now.
