    I found this 1972 Husky 450 WR in Mojave, CA., about a week ago. It had been sitting outside since 1980. I paid $200 for it. The owners dad was a good friend of Parnelli Jones. Parnelli gave him the Husky. It's seems it was Parnelli's bike. I sent out an email to Parnelli's Business Manager and he replied that it looks like one of the bikes Parnelli had and that he was a close friend with owners late father. The owner is looking for a picture with Parnelli, Al Unser and his father with the bike. Kind of a cool story.

    The bike has a Pro Fab swingarm and brake arm. It also has a Lectron carb. Notice there is a Parnelli sticker on the air box cover.

    I pulled the head and cylinder off and it looked great inside and is ported. I threw a new ring on her and cleaned the carb and just fired her up tonight. Started second kick.

    WR430 1981 prior to the refurb, after and in action. I am not sure what I enjoy most the "working on" or "riding on".

    Mate of mine was a "worker", bike always in bits in the shed.... everytime you actually got him out for a ride he would b*tch and whinge about something not being right and strip it down again (he became a Mr Mc Hanic).
    It got him at the local state round enduro with a bike missing and farting all day long! (83 xc 250) when he finally found that he had left the coil mounting bolts loose:D he stopped fiddling for a while after that!

    The bike sitting idle, holding up the bush lemon tree. What a sad sight, we should have been at Conondale in Queensland racing the Vinduro Sprint, but the rain (flood) put an end to that.

    The photo below taken at last years event...:)

    Hi everyone.

    New member and with a new bike.
    Bought this fully restored CR500 1985-1987 a couple of weeks ago.

    It has been modified with a Yamaha front fork and some Excell-Rims, otherwise its more or less a bike built by NOS items.
    Runs like a charm and went trough (Almolst) MOT last week.

    A little video my friend made.

    Didn't really need it at the time as i have too many bikes already but it was too good to pass up and I have to say I really like it.:applause:
    Since then I have given it a good going over and service and began setting it back up in it's enduro form.

    Looks good and goes just as well
    All I need to do now is master the art of starting it when it's hot ;)

    Here is the low bucks 360. It was given to me so I kept a low bucks theme to the restoration. I did have some of the stuff I needed from other vintage projects.
    I put a 38 Mikuni on it because I could not get the Bing to run well down low. How you see it is what you would see in the California Desert circa 1976/77. Curnutt shocks, skid plate and Vesco Skinny-fat tank. The plate on the front is from 77. Even though the WR was available many guys ran CR's in the desert.
