Post up pictures of your vintage Husqvarna bikes!

Michel.....

There's no difference at all....more than the decal. It's a 430 cc engine but in -86 there was no 430 CR, only a 430 Enduro w/ auto and the 400 WR.
The only big MX'er was the 500 CR.....my guess is that the 435 CR was a desperate late attempt to get less experienced riders to buy an open class Husky.
Remember...times were tough for Husqvarna in 86.

Not many of these 435 CR's were built....I'll contact the museum at Husqvarna and try to learn how many...have'nt ahd the time yet though. :-)

Go on, some 17" wheels on one of your lovely milk floats! And some Moose dodging videos round some Swedish backroads

WOW
living in Sweden obviously has some perks from a vintage Husqvarna perspective, while not jealous I am VERY impressed
jealousy nor envy is good, but I am happy for you and hope to see some more detail and pictures to go with these
what are the frame and engine numbers, what is the history, I really do tip my hat for a great find

Almost forgot....here's my current racer.......been around a couple of years now and does'nt look this good anymore.
Putting together a -83 430 CR that will be the new racer for 2014......retiring the 488 for a while.

.....and YES !! - I do Think that red Husky's are better that White when it comes to the twinshocks.

.......and here you can all hear the crisp sound from a "new old" Husky.......this is the 435 CR above.

You might be right about red over white? I think Swedish flag for 83 but red before that, personal taste I guess but then I don't 'forget' that I own probably the best looking red twinshock Husky in existence !!

I retaliate with some nasty air cooled AND wrong colour videos

some bad ass bikes there , that guy dwarfs the bike tho he must be huge...lol

@84scrambler.......I'm a normal-sized Swede - just 6'6" in my socks.

hi , SWEDEHUSKY !
is yor HVA for sale
in sweden november
2013 ?
blocket.se

that's the new norm, my son is also 6' 6" (barefoot), as he lives in a warm area

Turns out my bike is a 1980 vintage, paper work says 79 though.

@visiteur1948......nope, that's not my bike - but it was built by a friend of mine up in Stockholm and is now sold to another friend of mine living in Denmark.

This was a 250 CR....I have two "look-a-like" bikes but they are 430 and 500 CR's.

P.s.
I was copied when it comes to the red/silver combo on an -83 bike, not vice versa ;-)

make more videos please. Love the sound of those big bores!

Just picked it up today. 1981 XC 430. Pretty much complete. Washed it off, took it apart,changed the oil, cleaned the carb, and it fired up.Carb looked to have about 10-15 yrs of varnish since it was cranked. So a rebuild will begin. Definitely interested in all suggestions/observations. This is my first old Husky, so I am starting from scratch. I have rebuilt several old KTM,s,so the Euro bikes aren't too scary for me.
Clutch cable is gone, but clutch lever at engine seems to move freely with no resistance, so i suspect some clutch issues. Or maybe just frozen. It is definitely engaged currently.

1975 Husky wr400 6speed fun for Ahrma north atlantic series. First year racing historic 500 and sportsman 500. Great times. Wish the weather permitted us to ride all year long. BUDDS CREEK MD

1981 420EA (Automatic). Not anywhere near mint condition, which is nice cause then i don't need to be afraid to get more scratches/dents. Still wanted to improve the look so cut rear fender 3", looked 30kg lighter there, trimmed the plastic to get a lighter look and bought new head light and OE front fender replica. And painted tank white as didn't like the grey color.

Ahrma North Atlantic, off to Tomahawk Probably in July? 2013

Here's my project 82 430 cr.. still getting parts little by little. I have most right now. I'm thinking I'm getting that cable rear brake line from bike buzzard too.
