    My before & after frame pics, it was sandblasted then sprayed a gloss black. The rims are anodized black, with new stainless steel spokes and a Sidewinder titanium rear sprocket.
    It also shows the HVA Factory chunky footpegs and the HVA Factory break pedal. I've also fitted a pair of Acerbis foot peg spring covers.
    And I decided to go with a set of Michelin S12 tyres
    More to come.......

    Spring Chicken! but you will be a deaf spring chicken with that "silencer":eek: , While the USA may be the next land mass, point that pipe at them and they will hear it!!:mad:

    Magumn,no longer around.I believe the same guy now builds them for vintage iron(retro rocket).Not sure if they make one like that for a 400. It makes great power and tucks in nicely.

    Fresh from a meth shack deep in the Mojave desert, via police auction and a craigslister friend-of-the-force.

    $400 and it runs, I know because it revved away due to a stuck throttle cable. The sellers were just staring at it (no kill button) and it was going to seize, so I reached over and yanked the plug wire. So I already have pain-equity in it.

    Pain equity.. I feel your pain and the burn in your elbow where the spark jumps across:eek: I hate lectric shox...doesn't do the "pacemaker " any good at all.

    just remember before starting any bike with no kill button..listen for the return slide "clunk" several times...

    could have been funnier if they had whacked it into gear to try and stall it:lol:

    Here is a photo of my 1976 Husqvarna 360 WR which I began restoring last Christmas. The entire motorcycle was striped down to it's smallest components and completely rebuilt to showroom condition.

    The bike laid in a barn in northern California for 13 years before being retrieved last December. The piston was seized to the ring but the cylinder was in great shape. The engine is in pristine condition with all seals and bearings being replaced in their entirety.

    I did all of the work including sand blasting all parts for priming and painting. I did the painting as well as the respoking and trueing of the wheels. I also completed the upholstery of the seat including the Husky logo at the rear. I milled the nylon chain guard and guides from solid nylon which I sourced from Paragon Plastics.

    Thor Lawson rebuilt the rear Fox Shox for me and I must say, he did a bang up job restoring them!

    Yup.. I posted the wrong photo with no chain on it. Here are the real photos of the completed bike. And a photo of my specially bred Husqvarna guard dog.

    That's a Yamaha dog...you can see the wrinkles where he is always trying to figure out why it bucked him off?
